Tips For Discount Golf Vacation Packages – Don’t gamble with your golf vacation

Spring is just around the corner and that means it’s time to start planning your golf vacation. Before you and your golf buddies plan a trip to Myrtle Beach, Scottsdale, Las Vegas, Hilton Head, or other great golf destinations, you should keep one fact in mind.

Many discount golf vacation packagers really don’t care if you get a first class golf vacation. You heard me right. Not all discounted or even non-discounted golf vacation packages are up to the task.

There is a lot of money to be made in the golf package market. In Myrtle Beach, where you can throw a Titleist from a moving car and almost always have it land on one of over a hundred fairways, golf package providers are almost as plentiful as lawyers.

You might think that this competition would benefit the golfer. But unfortunately, like any other opportunity, this can expose scammers and companies with poor business practices.

So if you and your golf group want to enjoy your golf trip and know you’re going to be playing some great golf courses, here are some tips to make sure you get what you pay for on your next golf vacation.

• Beware of one-size-fits-all golf vacation packages with rock-bottom prices, unless you’re willing to play inferior golf courses and stay in one-star accommodations. A golf package that promises a three-night stay with two rounds of golf for $129 typically equates to a cross-country golf vacation experience. Don’t settle for cookie cutter deals. Be sure to customize a golf package to fit your group’s needs.
• Make sure the company you buy your golf package from knows the local golf scene, and better yet, live and play golf in the area. Many golf packages are sold through phone bank fulfillment centers where operators rely on outdated information and know little to nothing about annual maintenance schedules. Getting tee times on a lower level course is bad enough. Don’t compound the problem with horrible field conditions.

Don’t gamble with your next golf vacation package. The best advice I can give you is to ask questions and ask for testimonials from past clients. If the discount golf vacation package provider is not willing to work with you, then don’t play golf with them.
