If you%26#039;re on a shoe-string budget, golf vacations may not be the best choice, but there are a few exceptions. There are tons of golf discounts available online. My suggestion is to look in the back of Golf Digest or Golf magazine and look at ads for golf packages. Most of these ads have web sites that you can go to for more details.
Golf Travel Advice for a Shoe-String Budgeter?
In our group, I%26#039;m always the guy who is asked to plan our golf trips, because I%26#039;ve been lucky enough to find some great deals. Here are a few ideas:
1) Myrtle Beach: If you live on the East Coast, you should be able to find cheap airfare especially from a large city. Accommodations: Try Myrtlewood Villas (new to nearly new 1,2, or 3 bedroom condos for $59-159/night depending on the time of year. Golf: Go to mbn.com or to Legends Resorts and use their tee time booking services, and mbga.com for honest ratings of all of the courses. Your best deals are from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and from Dec 1 to Feb 28, with the highest prices in March, April, September, and October. If you do some searching, you could stay 4 nights and play 4 mid to upper tier courses for $400 or less in the summer, and for as little as $250 in the winter.
2) Niagara Falls, Ontario / Buffalo, NY: There has been some new casinos added to the Niagara Falls area, and several new golf courses have been built within 15-20 minutes of the Falls. There are a few run by the Niagara Parks Commission that are awesome (Whirlpool Golf Club, Legends of Niagara (Battlefield and Usshers Creek courses), and several very nice public or semi-private courses in and around Buffalo. Last I checked, the Niagara Parks Commission offered early AM specials ($59-69 before 8 am versus $100+ from 8am-2pm), and there are several decent motels / hotels to stay for a reasonable price near the Falls. You could fly into Buffalo (30 minutes away) or Toronto (1 to 1 1/4 hours away), whichever is cheaper.
