A Great Golf Vacation? It’s All in the Packaging

The golfing and lodging industries have combined to create a powerful incentive for golfers to book vacations: the Golf Package. This means when you book your hotel room you can receive specials at golf courses near the hotel. The specials might include an invitation to play at a top-flight resort course or private club where tee times are at a premium. You might get discounts on golf, or even free rounds of golf. The bottom line: the combination of hotel room and greens fees is lower than if you booked these individually. There are unlimited choices of golfing destinations at an economical price, and it doesn’t involve much search time on the Internet to find these good deals.

Think of states that are close to you to cut down on travel time and expenses. Then search for hotels using a combination of +golf +package +city +hotel. You can also search major hotel franchises for discounts, specials and packages.

For example Las Vegas offers a variety of hotels, spa, and golf specials. If you're flexible and can go in the off season, or shoulder seasons (early summer, summer, and late summer, you can pick up great bargains. Just imagine you can play a fabulous round of golf, go swimming, have a gourmet dinner and then drift off to sleep in a luxurious hotel room, sometimes for the price of just the room itself.

Whenever you call for information or reservations make sure you ask about any golf packages that are offered.
