I understand that we are in a recession. You think that you might get laid off or lose you job. But are those good enough reasons to lower yourself to take some shaggy discount golf vacations set up by some fly by night internet reseller? I’m asking you, “Do you want to go big or do you want to stay home?”
Ok, so you don’t want to stay home. It isn’t my money we are talking about so I will try and help you out. Let’s take a look at why you don’t want to play a round or two at:
- Pine Valley
- Cypress Point
- Muirfield
- St Andrews
- Pebble Beach
I’m sorry, why is it you don’t want to take the two weeks your boss gives you to play these monsters? Oh that’s right…your wife won’t let you. She needs to buy another pair of shoes and that is more important then any dumb golf package you might want to buy.
You have been told that “your not going big” you are going cheap. By cheap we mean you are about to embark on a world wind tour of the the best, least expensive, super discount golf vacation that your sorry WalMart budget restricts you to.
Here is a 10 Ten List of the best, least expensive public golf courses that you can play at and not break the bank:
- Old Works G C., Anaconda Montana $50
- Links of North Dakota, Ray ND $60
- Shepherd’s Hollow G.C. Clarkston, Michigan $60
- Lakewood Shores Resort (Gailes) Oscoda, Michigan $65
- Black Mesa G.C. La Mesilla, New Mexico $67
- Hawktree G.C. Bismarck North Dakota $67
- Quarry Oaks G.C. Ashland Nebraska $73
- RTJ Trail at Capital Hill (Judge) Prattville Alabama $74
- Black Lake G.C. Onaway Michigan $80
- TPC Deer Run Silvis Illinois $82
It seems that Michigan is full of discount golf vacation packages. You would think that the people up there would be busy building cars and not playing around on golf carts.
When you are looking at a discount golf vacation package you should not just look at the cost of a round. You will need to a place to stay, assuming you are not going to sleep in the back of your car. I suppose you can find a Budget Inn pretty close to any of the public courses. Nobody ever said that discount golf vacations will be any fun. If you want fun it is going to cost you some big bucks!
Cheap golf vacations might not give you a story that you can brag about, but you will have money left over to buy a 6 pack of your favorite brew. And really, isn’t that what it is all about?
So it seems you can play on a pretty decent course and have some dough left over if you plan your yearly discount golf vacations with care and a brown bag lunch.
