Winter Golf in Arizona, California and Nevada

Well, now that our November Special at The Doral is over it's time to think about your winter golf getaway.

Prices for this winter are very reasonable given the soft economy, so if you're going this year now is the time to contact your travel agency... or hopefully, my golf travel agency.

Some of the "best buys" this year are in and around Las Vegas (including Mesquite, NV) and the San Diego area. And, although Phoenix area golf is still a bit pricy, we do have some "sleepers" - great tracks that are a little lesser known thus better bargains.

And for the umteenth year, our Gold Canyon, Arizona package is a fabulous bargain... especially if you want to sneak away right after the Holidays.

My blog readers get Free Advice! I, with my 24 handicap, have screwed up rounds of golf on dozens of these great courses. Whether you ever book a trip with my agency, I'm okay with sharing my knowledge of what courses and resorts are overpriced and what ones are true bargains. Just send your questions to dick@golf-vacation.com. (just copy & paste)

Cheers,

Dick

Winter Golf?

Well gang, another Minnesota Golf season is complete. For me to report that I had only 6 rounds in triple digits this year is misleading because I only managed to play 11 rounds this year. This damned economy has kept me in the shop way too much since we have cut our staff by 40%. This is getting irritating!!!!!

My magnificent rounds in the mid-ninties (pretty good, eh?) have deteriorated to high-ninties - on the "good" days!

Oh well. I still love the game and am looking forward to a golf trip to Fort Myers in December, St. Thomas in January and Las Vegas and Mesquite in March. (Two of the three are "business" trips in association with my golf travel company.) Wanna Come along?

Cheers,

Dick
