Top 5 Reasons to Plan a Golf Getaway Right Now


Right about now you are itching to try that new putter you got during the holidays, but your local golf courses are closed for the season. Sure, you could go to a practice facility, but it's just not the same. Plus, all those guys and gals you spend summer weekends with are holed up just like you are and darn it, you miss 'em. Here are just a few reasons one of you needs to buck up and start planning a trip...

1.     Enjoy different types of layouts and topography from your home golf course(s).
2.     Get together with your golfing buddies or spend QT with your golf-loving spouse
3.     Enjoy specially priced golf packages at Let’sGolf® locales

Get Out of the Cold at a Golf Show


I grew up in the South. I learned to play golf at a local club when I was 10 and really took to the game. I only had time to play during summer break, but I could have played year 'round.  We, in the South, don’t really have to travel to play golf during the year, but we choose to, in order to experience a variety of layouts, topography and even weather. This is not so for our golfing brethren in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada. Their golf courses are closed anywhere from three to six months out of the year, so they either give up their favorite pastime during the colder months, or they trek south. And that’s where Let’s Golf® comes in. We represent many exciting golf destinations in most southeastern states. Our goal is to keep you informed about any golf package promotions, new course openings, up-and-coming hotspots and even provide advice on ways to ease the burden of travel. 

You can stay informed through this blog or any of our social media avenues, or if you are lucky enough to live in or near a city that will host a Consumer Golf Show in the next few months, come visit us in the Let’s Golf® Travel Network booth and we’ll personally answer your questions and give you recommendations.

Plus, if you are looking for a great deal on golf clubs, golf balls, and other accessories, it’s the place to find bargains on last year’s close-outs and be able to test this year’s hottest new products. And lots of local pros and even celebrities, such as David Leadbetter, are on hand to teach you how to play the game better. If nothing else, a golf show is a great time to get together with your summer playing buddies and be around your favorite sport. And this time of year, where else can you respectably drink a cold beer at 10am on a Saturday?
