Where to Find the Best Golf Trips

 If your clubs go with you everywhere, why not couple your vacation time with a chance to tee off on some of the best golf courses in the world? Golfing vacations and golf trips have grown in popularity until they’re among the most popular types of combination vacation packages available through travel agents. If you’ve never considered taking a golf tour before, take a look at vacation packages on offer in one or more of these areas in the U.S. and the British Isles.

Myrtle Beach Golf Trips

Myrtle Beach boasts more golf courses in a small area than almost any other region in the country. Located on the southeastern coast of the U.S., Myrtle Beach golf courses include public greens, private golf courses and luxury resorts with attached golf courses. Depending on your tastes, you could book a week at a resort and spend every day on their championship course, choose a hotel as home base and travel to any one of a dozen courses within easy driving range, or travel up and down the coast, spending each night in a different hotel and each day on a different course. The choice is yours, and the golfing is superb.

Arizona Golf Vacations

Arizona has two main golfing areas—one in the Phoenix metro region and one around Tucson. The weather is indescribable.  Arizona boasts more sunny, golfing days than almost any other state in the union, and the scenery is unforgettable. You’ll find a range of luxury resorts in and around Phoenix, many of them catering to other interests along with golfing and quite a few of them offering family golfing packages so that the kids and spouse can join in the fun on their level. Tucson offers a less reverent take on the sport of kings. It abounds with quirky courses and unusual fairways that will give your jaded golfing tastes a bit of a jolt. Tucson is also the best place for a family golf vacation if the golfers in your family are on the younger side as it boasts some of the youngest golf champions in the world, and most courses are very welcoming to younger golfers.

Ireland Golf Vacations

Ireland is second only to Scotland in the number of venerable, traditional golf courses. A golf trip to Ireland gives you the opportunity to play on some of the oldest and most famous golf courses in the world. You can settle into one region of the Emerald Isle and play it in depth, or travel throughout Eire to play on a wide range of links from the classic to the ultra modern.

When you’re planning your vacation this year, do a bit of research on golf vacations and book a delightful week or two on the golf course as part of your getaway time.
