5 Ways To Save On Your Golf Vacation
03/24/2009

Savings Tip #1 "Brown Bag It For A Day"

Part of the annual golf trip is forcing down that 40 oz. Porterhouse, but you can still save some green on your food by packing the cooler. Most golf resorts either have full kitchens or at least a grill, so instead of a night out, throw some steaks on the grill, crack a beer and enjoy the spring air. 

You’ll easy save $20 a guy by hanging out around the condo. And if you’re staying at Village at the Glens, you’ve got an onsite putting green to see if you can double down on your savings.

 

Savings Tip #2: Choose the Right Ammo

Did you know that Tiger’s ball costs more than $10/sleeve? Did you also know that he doesn’t typically lose two sleeves each round? For the average golfer, the elite Titleist Pro V1x is a bit over indulgent. There are countless balls out there that cost a fraction of the cost and perform just as well as their pricier cousins.  

Stick with a middle of the road ball and you can easily save $40 over the course of your trip.

 

Savings Tip #3: Play with a Group
Most courses along the Grand Strand are members of a group, such as the Glens Golf Group, and you can typically save big time when you stay within the group. When booking your package find out what courses have the best rates and save big. Typically you can save 10%, 20% or more by packaging your rounds right.
 
Savings Tip #4: Make it a Road Trip
Myrtle Beach is centrally located on the east coast, which means that you and a few buddies can rent a van, pack up the clubs and make a road trip out of the golf vacation. You’re likely to pack in way more good times and the airline won’t lose your clubs. Ask anyone who’s done the road trip golf vacation and they’ll tell you it’s the only way to travel. Plus, you’ll save hundreds!
 
Savings Tip #5: Do Your Homework
A last minute vacation is always a good idea, but it can cost you some money. Make sure that you plan your trip and find the best time for everyone and best prices. You can start by calling The Glens Golf Group for expert advice on your trip. Just dial 1-888-999-9520, ask for Jason and save.
