What makes a great golfing vacation destination, well, great? Golfers are looking at a great many things when choosing a golfing vacation destination. Perhaps the number one requirement on the list is that there be a lot of golf courses in the general area and maybe one rather famous one as well, but those are not the only things that golfers use to determine what their golfing vacation destination will be.
The determining factors that golfers use to choose a great golfing vacation destination other than a good variety of really terrific courses (which is, of course, the first requirement) are:
1. A great setting: There are good golf courses everywhere, but some of them are located in areas that also provide some beautiful scenery as well.
2. Other attractions and activities: Golfers DO golf, but they don’t golf 24/7. Many golfers travel with their families, and so they want to choose an area that offers more than JUST a great golf course.
3. Many quality accommodation options: Golfers want comfortable and safe hotel accommodations for themselves and their families.
4. Easy travel: Golfers look for easy travel to and from a great golfing destination, but also easy travel within the area.
Based on the above requirements, the top three golfing vacation destinations are:
1. Monterey, California: The Pebble Beach Golf Course is the crown jewel, but Spyglass Hill and The Links at Spanish Bay are both nearby and there are even cheaper options a little further inland.
2. Southern Pines, North Carolina: There are eight magnificent courses just at the Pinehurst Resort alone, and many others are within easy reach.
3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Myrtle Beach bills itself as “Golf Town, USA.” There are more than a hundred golf courses along the strip, and there are more being built. Myrtle Beach really does have it all; quality as well as quantity and at affordable rates.
