Take A Golf Vacation
There’s nothing that can be more relaxing than a great game of golf. Spending a refreshing day outdoors with friends and family on a gorgeous course is the perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon. If you love golf, why not take a golf vacation?
There are many hotels and resorts across the country that are world-renowned for their incredible courses, many of which span for miles. These resorts also offer great accommodations, fantastic food and drink and spa service so you can return home fully rejuvenated.
One of the premier golf resorts in the U.S. is the the Pebble Beach Resort and Inn in Pebble Beach, CA. Ranked #1 in golf resorts by Golf Digest magazine, it includes four resorts and three gorgeous golf courses ranging more than 7,000 yards. The fares for playing are a bit pricey – a game will cost you around $495, but the resort offers many great money-saving packages that allow anyone to experience these great facilities. The courses are ocean side and lined with a gorgeous forest, and have been in operation for over ninety years and counting. If you’re looking for a premier place to place golf, Pebble Beach should be your top choice.
Another great place to play golf is the Sea Island Resorts, The Cloister and the Lodge. Located in Georgia, many of the facilities here require a membership and one course is closed off completely to the public. But three others are open for business and are considered some of the best in the country. Rooms at this resort are luxurious and comfortable, and there are many great restaurants inside. While you’re on the course, your family can relax by the pool or have a great time with all the resort has to offer. A room typically goes for around $525 a night at this facility, but it is worth every penny.
These are just two of the best golf resorts that you can choose from – but hundreds of other hotels and resorts in the country offer similar benefits and gorgeous courses for lower prices. You’ll get the experience of a lifetime and make some fantastic memories with your family and friends. Make your choice and decide on a luxury vacation that will satisfy your mind, body and soul.
