Whats cheap? Would rather golf in Muskoka or North New York State. Lots of packages for under $100 per day. www.golfmuskoka.com

I'm a novice golfer and just starting to really get into the game this year. With the winter months coming and no hockey to watch...I think I'll start to get the Canadian winter blues. I want to avoid this by planning a golf vacation. I didn't see the ad about golf in the Mississippi. Where are the nicest places to golf in the US during the winter months? I came across an ad for Golf in Phoenix or Scottsdale Arizona. $119 USD per night at the Marriot resort. It includes 2 complimentary 50 min spa massages, 2 rounds of golf at Wildfire Golf club, a $100 dining certificate or $100 shopping certificate. Is that a good deal?

Hey, thats a great deal. The Carolina's, Florida, Arizona are all great for winter golf. The cheapest months to go are Nov, Dec, Jan. We went to Santee, SC last Feb. Was alright golf. Would rather go to Myrtle Beach or Kiawah Islands or Arizona. If I have the time, I'm in...can't get away from work now though. I guess its just watching the lowly Raptors and the indoor ranges!

Yes there a lot of cities in the US trying to promote avid golfers from around the world to come to their towns. What does it for them especially is the price. Some courses have crazy deals for good courses...something to the tune of $100USD for 3 rounds of golf.....it's also sometimes good to get out of town and visit other places as well.....especially with our Canadian winters :mad:

Hey Focker, Thanks for the list of places. My parents own a timeshare resort and we can trade our week to visit any destination in the US. So Florida, Myrtle Beach, Kiawah Islands or Arizona are going to be on my list now. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I look for good deals over the winter months. :cool:

Hey Ems...there is a catch to it. In fine print is says that you have to listen to a 90 min timeshare presentation. But it is still a good deal as long as you don't get roped into buying another piece of timeshare. If you want to find out more on these deals you can check it out at www.intervalworld.com.
