Planning a Nationwide Golf Tour?

Consider traveling to beautiful locations in different states like Georgia, Florida, California or Hawaii where in each area there are several great courses all within a reasonable distance of each other. You could take a 7 to 14 day trip and play on a different course each day while staying in the same hotel or resort the whole time. Meet new people and make new friends all with a common interest, and that bond is golf. When planning an upcoming trip or vacation it would be great to create a grand nationwide golf tour.

Take a Few Lessons

You may want to plan your nationwide golf tour around improving your game consistency by including a few lessons with the local golf pro. Plan a visit to a nearby driving range with beautiful views and knock around a few balls. Get a few tips on power putting and cut your handicap by 7 – 12 strokes. When you return home and get together with another couple or a few golf buddies you could show off an improved swing and watch your ball still rising while your opponent’s is dropping.

Stay at World Class Golf Resorts

You may want to treat yourself to a world class golf resort. Stay in deluxe accommodations and complete your day with a four star gourmet dinner. These resorts boast of beautiful fairways that are meticulously manicured. The courses in Hawaii are some of the most scenic with wide open views of the beautiful Pacific Ocean from almost every part of the course. The amenities at the resort hotels are unparalleled that include spas complete with massage therapy, steam rooms and saunas.

Vastly Different Landscapes

North America has different climates and vistas on each of its coasts from Florida across to California. There are deserts and beach cliffs each offering dramatic views and challenging courses. You could plan a nationwide golf tour each year for ten years and not have to be in the same state twice. There are beautifully treed courses where you play through pine, moss draped oak and weeping willow. In Arizona, where the climate is drier, there are still some very challenging and interesting courses with beautiful wide open vistas.

Shop Around and Plan Ahead

Tee times can be very hard to get at some locations and reservations will have to be made well before your arrival. Also greens fees change according to the time of year. If you want to save a little you could travel in the off season. Some courses cut their fees as much as 75%.
