When planning for your Pebble Beach golf vacation, especially with the 2019 U.S. Open being held on Pebble Beach Golf Links, we highly recommend planning at least 6 months in advance for peak season travel dates. For travel dates during lower periods, ie., winter months, 4 months in advance can normally do the trick.

For several reasons, our #1 lodging choice for groups heading to Scottsdale, AZ on golf vacations is Hyatt House Scottsdale/Old Town. With pretty much all amenities that you could ask and hope for while on your customized golf trip, it really can't be beat. Here's what we love about it. No doubt, you and your group will feel the same about it as well.

Back in my heavy traveling days, I was the guy that would walk by long lines at all of the car rental counters, and would just chuckle to myself. Chuckling because I would get on the escalator or the elevator and make way directly to my pre-booked car rental. It was perfect!

Simply put, yes. There are many different ways and/or reasons for saying yes to this question, but the bottom line is that using Ship Sticks is littered with value propositions and quite frankly, why they are as successful as they are.

The long and short of it, YES, The Cradle Course is a must play for all golfers venturing to Pinehurst Resort. In fact, it's also a great spot for golfers heading to the area yet not staying at the resort itself - tee times can be booked 24-hours in advance for non-guests. Although I have not personally played it, the pictures tell me everything I need to know, and quite honestly, I can't think of a better way of finishing off a day of golf with your buddies than having some fun on the short course.

I often get this question . . . "We're planning a buddies golf vacation and never been to Scottsdale - Why should we go there over other places?" A great question, and one that I enjoy answering and talking about. I enjoy it simply because I absolutely love playing golf in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area. The region is littered with great golf courses. The downfall, you simple cannot fit them all into one golf vacation!

We are asked all the time what the perfect buddies golf vacation would be for larger groups, and as a result, we have created several - this one in particular being at Pinehurst Resort. Simply put, our Pinehurst Ultimate Buddies golf vacation is a must and will be the talk of your group for years to come.

After having the pleasure of playing Pinehurst No. 2 a couple of weeks ago, albeit a less than stellar round of golf on my part, I have a few simple tips that will make the experience that much better for golfers of any skill level.

Having the pleasure recently of playing several golf courses in the Williamsburg, VA area I would highly recommend a round or two on the Tradition Golf Club at Royal New Kent. It will definitely test every part of your game, as well as bring a whole new level of appreciation for great golf course designs.

It's that time of year again. The freshly-cut grass smell is back, golf greens are being aerated, and your clubs are ready to hit some golf balls. Not only is it that time of year at your local golf course, but it's also that time of year in Scotland.

I was first introduced to North Berwick a few years back on our Scotland golf vacation, and to this day remains one of the most fun I've ever had playing golf. The West Links at North Berwick, and Royal Dornoch Golf Club top my personal favorites list.

Golf courses and resorts in Williamsburg, VA are, although it does not always come to the mind first for golfers, are some of the best golf experiences in the USA. As such, we have created several great Williamsburg golf vacation packages. Here, we will outline and detail three different golf packages, with three considerably different price points.
