Golf Vacation

[JTexido]

I need some input. Im looking to go on a golf trip for about 3 days, and was wondering where I should go. I was looking into TPC Sawgrass, but that's a little pricey. Any recommendations on some great golf, without breaking the bank. Im looking to stay on the east coast, preferably Florida or one of the Carolinas.

Myrtle Beach has a lot of courses and quite a bit of stuff to do, but if lower cost is important to you look into the Santee, SC area. It's quite a bit cheaper than a Myrtle trip. There is not a lot of other stuff to do and less courses, but you can play a lot more golf for less money. Just do a search via Google (or whatever engine you use) for Santee Golf and you'll find some information. It's a little north and west of Charleston, SC.

It's hard to argue with Myrtle. You can find packages for as little as $60 a night (including golf, lodging, and breakfast). I just got a quote from The Glens. For 4 people they quoted us $433 for a 3 night stay, and through in complimentary replays on Saturday and Sunday.

I'd love you to come down and spend your money in FL.......but I've got to agree that driving past Myrtle to get here for a 3 day trip doesn't make much sense.

The only issue could be some difference in the weather, but honestly, this time of year you should be fine.

If you do want to drive the extra distance and don't mind spending the money, you can come down to St Augustine, see the Golf Hall of Fame, play the two courses there, and hit the TPC at Sawgrass all in the same trip. 30 minutes south of there is Palm Coast and Hammock Dunes. Doing so will prob add at least a full days drive to the trip and would be a lot more expensive though.

For a quick spring getaway, I'd do Myrtle.

I think I have made my decision. I am going to goto Doral for 3 nights and play the Blue Monster, red, and gold. They have some good deals there. I appreciate everyones input.

can't argue with myrtle if those are the states your looking at. Try the Dunes course by RTJ its a good track.

One destination you may look at would be Montgomerie Alabama at the Capital Courses on the RTJ trail. It has a great quiet hotel and the three courses that are there make for three great days of golf.

If you want to have stuff other than golf to do... Myrtle is definately good, and you can fit it into any price range. However if you want to play the best golf... go to the Sandhills of NC... they have Pinehurst (8 Courses), Pine Needles and a whole slew of top notch courses in the area. This area can be done at pretty much any price point as well. Not sure when you are going, but some destinations are obviously better at certain times of the year.

edit: didn't notice someone resurrected an old thread... my input was too late. Alcorn... why are you resurrecting old threads when the OP says they have made a decision?

I apologize, but there is no need to call me out in public.
