I’m planning a weekend getaway focused on golf and I’m on the hunt for the best trips out there. My goal is to find some great courses that are not too far away and won’t break the bank.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Availability of Courses: I’m interested in well-maintained courses that provide a good challenge.
  • Stay and Play Packages: If there are any resorts or hotels offering packages that include overnight stays and green fees, I’d love to know more!
  • Budget-Friendly Options: It would be great to find some hidden gems that are affordable yet offer a fantastic golf experience.
  • Travel Tips: Any advice on how to make the most out of a short trip would be super helpful.

Some Ideas I Considered:

  • Myrtle Beach, SC: Known for its many courses and vacation rentals.
  • Palm Springs, CA: A classic spot, but looking for something a little less crowded.
  • Lake Tahoe, NV/CA: Beautiful scenery and good courses but might be pricier.

I’m open to any suggestions, whether they’re local hotspots or destinations that require a bit of travel. Also, any tips on the best times to go or deals that I should keep an eye out for would be much appreciated. Let’s hear what you’ve got!

Remember, guys: golf trips can be a blast, but don’t forget to bring sunscreen, especially in places like Arizona!

That’s solid advice! I might even bring more than just sunscreen if it’s really that hot!

I agree with ryanmichael about using GolfNow! I’ve saved as much as 50% on tee times. Don’t forget to check for deals on meals near the courses too.

In addition to GolfNow, try calling courses directly. Sometimes they have unadvertised specials! Also, road trips can be cheaper than flying, depending on where you’re going.
