1. The weather. Nothing beats the
weather this time of year, especially when you get a warmish day without the
humidity. It's just absolutely perfect to play golf.
2. Golf courses are less crowded. While
golf is supposed to be relaxing for and enjoyable for everyone, it can quickly
become tense and annoying on a crowded course when you're waiting on every shot
and pushing a six-hour round. Not a worry in the fall months.
3. Pace of play. Similar to
less-crowded courses, I guess, but pace of play is huge for a lot of people. In
the cooler months, people are more prone to finish quicker - it gets windy and there's less daylight.
4. New golf clubs. Chances are, you can
find a lot of deals on golf clubs as the year winds down. Rather than wait
until the spring when the prices go up, why not get a set now? Plus the manufacturers are introducing their new equipment this time of
year, so you can upgrade to the latest and greatest now.
5. The foliage. Absolutely breathtaking.
That's the only way to describe the foliage in the fall in so many destinations
6. Extra roll. As the weather gets
cooler, the golf courses firm up. The extra yardage on a well-struck tee shot is
nice, but it can present an extra challenge if the greens are firmer..
7. Less
expensive to play. Here are some fall specials to sample:
Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail has some amazing fall deals including unlimited golf.
The Resort at Glade Springs in Southern West Virginia (pictured below) also boasts an unlimited golf special in November. See their Late Season package.
Golf Santee® off I-95 in South Carolina offers a 3 night/3 day golf package for $221 per person this Fall.
