Okay Snowbirds... the end is near! That means it's about time to send the clubs to the basement - or NOT!With the prices for travel - including golf travel - at the lowest point in many years, why not plan a November Golf Trip? Those of you that know me understand that my taste exceeds my budget! EG: "Champagne taste; Beer budget"! Well, not exactly a beer budget, but I do qualify as an expert on getting the most bang for my buck!
So, here are a few thoughts on Autumn Bargains:
Las Vegas - Hotels & Courses have lowered their rates making this typically pricy destination cost-efficient. There are additional ways to hold your costs down a little if you know the ropes. For example, one of my favorite area tracks is the TPC Canyons where the weekday fee is currently $225. But, just a quarter of a mile away is The Badlands Golf Club which costs 'just' $150. So, how nice is The Badlands? It's a Troon Golf facility. Need I say any more? Another overpriced course, in my humble opinion, is Bear's Best. It is one of the finest tracks around but you are paying a lot for the novelty. I can refer you to a half dozen area courses that are its equal at greens fees that are $50 to $75 lower.
Mesquite: Just up I-15 about 75 miles from Las Vegas, the greens fees for top-ranked courses are half that of Las Vegas. If you're looking for world-class nightlife, stay with Vegas. But if you want World-Class golf with nice accommodations and decent dining & nightlife, check this out!
The Doral: The absolute best value anywhere is the November Special where you can "stay & play" for about the price of the golf alone! No Tricks; No kidding!
