Karl Boje asked:


If someone is looking to play golf in the extreme midst of nature then, here is the answer, South Africa. Here, nature doesn’t only mean greenery and beautiful sceneries but nature which also includes animals and an amazing wild world. A golfing vacation here can provide you a very exclusive opportunity to play golf and watch these wonders of nature together. Not only this, a golfing vacation in South Africa can offer you beauty, serenity, raw challenges and in overall, thousands of memories to cherish for rest of your life.

South Africa is one of very few destinations in the world which can offer you not only great safari tours and breath-taking beaches but also some of the best locations to play golf and chill- out. Slowly, it has acquired the number one spot as the hottest golfing destination in the minds of most of the professional golfers of the world. The reason is quite simple. Anyone in this world would love to see the nature present here in South Africa and what’s better than this if it is accompanied by a lush green golf course and some excellent facilities in them. The other reason behind the rising popularity of golfing vacations here in South Africa is that in a year, it has 300+ sunny days. Very rarely conditions are seen tough to play golf, beautiful landscapes and golf courses that are designed to bewilder even the best of the industry. With all these good things, especially a safari tour, one will only find the experience of playing golf at a golf vacation in South Africa the most congenial one.

There are around 500 golf courses in entire South Africa which are made on various locations such as coastal plains and mountains and everything in between. While on a golf vacation to South Africa, you can witness some of world’s best golf courses. An extravagant golf course in Sun City is the proud home of the world’s richest golf tournament. Everything is designed so strategically here, that it makes your golfing tour the most challenging one. Most of the golf courses are full of Kikuyu grass which makes time tough for a golfer, slick kidney shaped green area which requires not only 1000% percent concentration but also bodily power and smart presence of mind. Water hazards are placed so cleverly and shrewdly that they become almost impossible to tackle. This is all what a golfer requires in his game. All the hurdles, so that he can improve his game more and more. This golfing vacation, when accompanied by a safari-trip of south Africa comes as a dream come true for all those who are on a south African golf vacation.

The point here is that the South Africa is full of wild life and raw nature and this fact has contributed the most in making tourism, the biggest contributor in South African economy. It also has increased the popularity of golf vacations in South Africa as people come here with the joint intention of watching this wild world and also playing golf in some most modernized and lavish golf courses of the world. Both these things compliment each other as South Africa has lots of things to offer in wild life and nature and also in golfing experience while on a golf vacation to this beautiful country.

So, be sure that you choose South Africa if you are opting to go for a golf vacation. I guarantee you it will give you many other surprises other than just everlasting memories of playing golf.

The other famous courses are the Costa del Sol, Paradisus Palma Real, Mijas Golf, Almeria, and Alcaidea Golf. As with Spain, everything comes with a beautiful breath taking scenery and so very beautiful cultural heritage to look forward to. The best resort within Spain which you need to explore is the Balu Porto Petro Beach. The other famous golf course is the Tenerifes Golf course.

Costa Del Sol hosted the Ryder Cup at Valderrama. It offers the best climate and has been known to lure golfing enthusiasts all the year round because of the weather. Valderrama also hosted the Volvo Masters, World Golf Championships as well as the Ryder Cup. It was designed by Robert Trent Jones.

Another course designed by Robert Trent Jones is the Los Naranjos which is nestled in the orange groves. It has two nine hole courses which are very challenging as they go through the hilly countryside.

Those who are looking for discount golf vacations in Spain there are three golf courses which are on offer and they are La Evia Golf, Playa Serena Golf, and Alboran Golf.

Pinehurst Golf Vacations Offer More than Just Golf

Saturday, April 19th, 2008
golf vacation
Mike Pedersen asked:


Pinehurst golf vacations can offer you a bit more than just playing golf. Although it is not designed to provide the same family entertainment that Myrtle Beach is capable of, Pinehurst offers a choice of golf schools and a choice of entertainment and sports for the younger family members.

Pinehurst is close to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, and is best known for its golf. With around 5000 inhabitants, Pinehurst has eight main championship golf courses with a total of over forty in the surrounding area. It also boasts several good golf schools and academies, and is an excellent choice for a golf vacation.

Pinehurst Offers a Number of Sporting Options

If your family does not share your love of golf, Pinehurst offers a number of different sporting options. It is an equestrian area, and many equestrian activities are available such as horse riding and lessons, horse jumping and so on. There are many lakes nearby and boating, canoeing and other water sports are offered. Fishing and hunting are popular, but perhaps not with the younger children. They may prefer tennis and there is also carting and bowling nearby.

Should the family want something offering more in the way of holiday fun, Myrtle Beach with its great beaches and funfairs is only a short trip away, and the nightlife at Myrtle Beach is superb.

There’s an Affinity between Pinehurst and Scotland

However, it is for the golf that people vacation in Pinehurst, and several packages are available to suit individuals, groups and family groups. The village is where Ben Hogan won his first pro tournament, and the first courses were designed by, or modified by, the great Scottish course designer, Donald Ross. There is great Scottish tradition in Pinehurst any many Scots feel an affinity with the town.

The golf schools in Pinehurst include The Pinehurst Golf Academy where you can make bookings for a golf school vacation from March to November, which is great way of getting some golf in while improving your game. You can use them to get some badly needed tuition in the fall so you are ready for the new season in the spring. It’s a great alternative to a summer golfing vacation.

If your whole family loves golf, Pinehurst would make a great vacation and the food is excellent with Japanese and other forms of international cuisine as well as the traditional American fare. You could try some Mexican for a change, though the kids might prefer a burger or hot dog.

Pinehurst Offers Golf Schools for the Beginners

You can get special family deals on the courses, and there are plenty of practice facilities available. The golf schools are good for the complete beginners in your group, but make sure you book places well in advance. The Nike Golf School is a form of camp and is great of the younger children. If you book your youngsters into the Nike camp to learn the game, and yourself and your partner into a Pinehurst resort, you get the best of both.

You both enjoy your golf, while your youngsters enjoy the camp while learning how to play. It won’t be long till they are joining you on the big courses on your next golfing vacation. Pinehurst golf vacations have a lot to offer if you think about what there is and use the resources to your best advantage.
