Warm weather and golf go hand-in-hand. So it's no wonder that golfers plan their vacations during the spring and summer.
Often golf enthusiasts retreat to premiere destinations that are brimming with golf courses like the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area which boasts more than 100 of the most challenging and picturesque golf courses in the world or North Carolina's Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen area known as the Home of American Golf. The combination of sandy soil, rolling hills, pine forests and mild climate make the Sandhills region of North Carolina ideal for golf. When you combine an invigorating game of golf with a picturesque destination you've got a marriage that any golf enthusiast would deem perfect. Take the championship courses at The Homestead in Virginia, for example, with their scenic mountain backdrops, quite a contrast from the bayside Atlantic City, New Jersey Country Club, one of the country's oldest and most prestigious golf clubs. If you're game isn't up to par, many golf resorts have golfing schools or pros who can help you with your swing. Check out the resort where you will be staying to see if it offers lessons with the pros or any type of classes that might prove beneficial. As you look for just the right golf resort, be sure to see what other activities the resort has to offer. With most, you'll find swimming, tennis and, if you're lucky, an accompanying spa. You'll have to decide if you want a secluded resort where you can spend countless hours on the greens or a golf resort that is near activities and attractions. The latter are advantageous for family vacations - you can golf and your family can explore what the area has to offer. If you prefer not to stay in a golf resort, choose a destination that offers a variety of golfing choices. Coastal areas such as Virginia Beach, Virginia or the Delaware Shore offer a number of public courses. |
