Golf Vacation Resorts As A Real Getaway

By Bella Holly

Nowadays, those who really love the sport of golf and want to be able to play it whenever they go on vacation have an intriguing opportunity in front of them. The attractiveness of golf vacation resorts to these people can't be overstated. Some of these destinations combine a world-class golf course with a beautiful resort experience. There's really very little downside, for the most part.

The beauty of a golf vacation resort is that there are many of them all over the world. The ancestral home of the game of golf, Scotland, offers a quality golfing experience on some of the most famous courses in the golfing world. True golf vacation resorts abound, though, in North America. Some of these resorts are cathedrals dedicated to golf and golfing activities.

Golfers who want to golf on courses that play host to some of the top tournaments in the U.S., including the Open, can head to the Monterey Peninsula and the Pebble Beach Links courses. They're rated the number one public courses in the country, at present. And the quality of accommodations is as good as the quality of the courses.

The quality of the hotels at many of these golf vacation resorts is also four-star. North Carolina's Pinehurst was the 2008 Travel and Leisure magazine Best Golf Resort award winner. Resorts like Pinehurst combine outstanding golf courses with equally outstanding luxury resort hotels that deliver on every promise. Both the courses and the hotels are truly four-star.

The attractiveness of golf vacation resorts as a way to not only get in a truly outstanding golfing experience and a luxury hotel stay in one all-in-one package can't be beat. For many avid golfers, the opportunity to play on world-class, PGA-certified courses is really a chance to play in the major leagues of golf, if only as a visitor.
