So, I've found myself with a free three-day weekend coming up in mid-May, and I'd like to do a golf trip. Unfortunately, the buddies I usually travel with are unavailable, so it looks like it's going to be a solo trip. That said, does anyone have any recommendations based on the following criteria:

1. I live in Philly, so I'm hoping to keep it within 4-5 hours of drive time.
2. Primary goal is to maximize golf (i.e. 5-6 rounds total for Fri-Sun).
3. Extracurriculars (i.e. lodging, entertainment, food) are secondary to golf.
4. Would love to play at least 3-4 different courses.

My original thought would be to head to Williamsburg for the weekend, though that's about as far as I'm willing to go driving-wise. Does anyone else know of good golf pockets in the Northeast that I might be missing? Ideally, I'd love to find some place off the beaten path where there are 3-4 really good courses that could entertain me for the weekend (without costing me $200/round). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

I'd suggest NJ or various towns in New York state for Golf magazine's courses ranked in the top 100. Or if you don't mind a longer drive, Hilton Head is wonderful for golf!

Ocean City, MD is a great place. The boardwalk is awesome and I just really enjoy the area up there. I've seen a couple of those courses but never been able to play them.

    • It isn't about maintaining focus 100% of the time when you are on the course. It is getting focus back for the shot at hand. Even PGA tour players will chat with their caddies or opponents about non-golf stuff, but then lock in. It is hard to try to constantly be 100% locked in for 4+ hours.  Totally normal thing to happen. You really only need a few moments of focus.  This is where a pre-shot routine helps. Maybe you need to add something that gets the focus back.  I just focus on every shot like a puzzle that needs solved. I like solving puzzle and problems. So, I try to be curious. Which then enhances focus. I think it lets me take each shot at hand. It lets me have the down time between shots. What I do is just get to the ball, and then start gathering information. Yardage, lie, wind, where is the pin at, etc.. Then I figure out what I want to do.  It's not like I can't shut off the thoughts and focus when I need to. I only need to focus for a few minutes before each shot.
