Plan a Golf Vacation

If you are planning a golf vacation there are several things you need to consider to make you experience one to remember.  The first thing you should consider is how long of a trip you want to plan.  This is important so you can decide your other options. 

If you are planning a one or two day golf trip, you probably don't want to travel to far from home if you are driving.  If you are planning a three or four day vacation, then your options are greater.  You can drive a bit farther or even fly to your destination.  If you are planning a vacation longer than four days, there are many other things to consider.  Mainly the cost of your trip and and other activities you would like do besides playing golf.

After deciding on the length of your trip, you will want to decide where you are going to go.  If you decide on a day or two trip, you will probably want to stay within 3-4 hours of home, so you are not spending half of your vacation driving.  I would guess there are excellent places to stay and play within 3-4 hours of about 90% of the United States.

A golf getaway of three or four days gives you more options, you can drive 6-8 hours or possibly a little more.  Just keep in mind that eight hours of driving each way is going to waste almost an entire day.  Trips of longer than four days let you experience some of the best golf in the world.  Sites of this length also allow you the opportunity to fly to your destination without spending half of your trip at the airport.  If you decide to fly, you will want to find the cheapest airfare possible. 

After deciding the length of your trip and where you are going, you will want to decide where you are going to play.
