Carmel by the Sea Celebrity Lifestyle Golf Vacations

Do you like to golf? Would you like to learn how to golf? Is it time to take a vacation? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions why not consider discount golf vacations. Spending a vacation with family and/or friends is always an exciting break from the hectic routines of every day life. This is especially true in an era where we've become so busy with our work that we find it difficult to spend the amount of time necessary for building quality relationships with the important people in our lives. A golf expedition that is not only affordable, but is experienced with those closest to you, is the ultimate getaway.
You can plan your own vacation or choose between the many discount golf vacations deals that are available. There are thousands of websites, travel agents, and vacation planners that specialize in themed vacations. If you have access to a computer and the Internet, you can be online in no time and connect to the resources you'll need to plan a trip to any of the best golfing available and for an affordable price.
Many seasoned travelers have long realized the savings that can be gained by scheduling their trips during the "slow" season, a time when they are not directly competing with the tourist crowds for accommodations, airfare and golf courses. The trade off here is that the weather may not be at its best but keep in mind that there is no weather guarantee in "peak" seasons either.
Choosing to take discount golf vacations does not mean that you have to sacrifice quality in order to save money. With some perseverance you can put together a vacation or find a package that offers accommodations and green fees for up to 50% off of the regular price for large groups.
Here are some basic items you should look for whether scouting out a package or putting the itinerary together yourself:
1) Hotel accommodations or Vacation Rental
2) Air Fare
3) Vehicle rental or shuttle service
4) Group tours
5) Golf course
6) Green fees (does this include golf cart, caddies, etc)
Again it doesn't matter whether you are planning the details of your trip, or decide to take a package deal, the above list is a good starting point. In addition, make sure that you research your accommodations and the golf course for background information and traveler reviews.
Keep in mind that any time you take a trip you should invest the time to do some homework on each of the components that make up your discount golf vacations.
Not only will you get the best price available, but also it will virtually ensure that you enjoy every minute of your hiatus.

Scenery and celebration, glamour and golf were the promise for those who could earn their way inside the gates of the enchanted forest by the sea.

Pinehurst, NC. The premier course is expensive but the others are reasonable.
If you need to tour the vineyards, try upstate NY. Good golf, too.

I don't golf, but I know that one of the most famous and historic golf courses in the world is St Andrews in Scotland. August would probably be a good time to go, weather wise.

Myrtle Beach or Florida would be the choices to look at, but most intensive golf schools where you go for four or five days don't allow for much beach time. You usually take instruction in the morning and then play 18 holes in the afternoon. Then hit balls at the range after your round, have dinner and get up and do it again the next day.

Get Lessons from Brian Manzella. His website is brianmanzella.com and he does lessons all over, but mostly in New Orleans, LA and Louisville, KY.
Go to his website, sign up (for free), and read his forums, look at his lessons in the forum archives, watch his free videos he has posted on youtube (his screen name on youtube is brianmanzella), and possibly buy some of his videos.
This guy is unreal as a teacher in his videos, I can only imagine how well he does in person. It is unbelievable to me how good he is and how few people have heard of him.

if i understand your question correctly – youre asking for destinations that are not currently hot spots, right?
If thats the case, i say costa rica. thats a growing tourist destination, very US tourist freindly and south america has a growing presence in professional golf.
coasta rica also has the beaches, mountains etc and is really reasonable budget wise.

There are several great courses around the Phoenix / Scottsdale area that will be very different from the layouts you are used to. A couple to consider would be:
Wie-Ko-Pah in Fountain Hills (east of Scottsdale)
The Raven at Verrado in Goodyear (west valley)
Sun Ridge Canyon in Fountain Hills
Great Eagle in Fountain Hills
TPC Desert Course in Scottsdale
Kierland Links in Scottsdale
Sanctuary in Scottsdale
Vistal in South Phoenix
There are many more, but these are some of my favorites. Each (with the exception of Kierland) are desert courses with some great views, etc. Rates for those courses in September would range from around $50 (Vistal) to somewhere near $110 (Wie-Ko-Pah). There are always internet specials and the Thursday edition of the Arizona Republic always carries golf coupons in the sports section.
The top four listed are my favorites in the area and are playable at a reasonable rates. The Raven is a bit of a drive from Scottsdale (50 miles) but worth the drive and they take care of their visitors.
Good luck

0 dollars, golf is an elitist, racist game mostly played by inept white men.
