Ryder Cup Golf Packages

It is never too early to plan the family golf trip of a lifetime. As we mentioned in an earlier post, the Ryder Cup Matches return to the United States next year. They'll take place at Louisville, Kentucky's Valhalla Golf Club.

Suite Golf Travel has discovered a travel company, Premier Golf Classic Destinations, that has been the official travel company of the Ryder Cup. They offer tons of information and packages for a weekend or longer trip to the Ryder Cup next September.

Take a look at their website, get their brochure and give them a call to receive information about where to stay and what to do while in Louisville.

More as the matches get closer.

Go Ahead, Rent Golf Clubs When You Get There

When you’re on a family vacation, it’s not always prudent to pack your big ole golf bag. The kids have their stuff, the spouse has his/her stuff, and they’re the priority. Right? Right.

Not to worry. You can rent great clubs when you arrive at your destination. Just don’t look in the traditional places, the resort or golf club. If you do, you’ll be paying more than you should.

A Hilton Head Island vacation will provide plenty of opportunity for golf. Many of the courses provide rental clubs at upwards of $25 to $50 per round; however, if you look to some of the areas golf equipment retail stores or sporting goods stores, you can get a much better deal.

Golf Outfitters, a Hilton Head golf store, offers complete golf club set rental for $25 per day or $100 per week. With Golf Outfitters, you can choose from a variety of new, used and demo sets. Golf Headquarters rents generic club sets for $20 per day and $10 for each day thereafter. (Source: WorldGolf.com)

So, don’t let the golf courses you play hit you for more money than they already get. Spend the money you save on a new boogie board for the kids.
