Golfing is another sport that is a high skill and high interest in people all around. Even those who don’t like have a wish to at least give it a go once or twice.
Golf is a very expensive, time and skill demanding sport but that all falls into the second category because this is a gentleman’s sport that has been with us for ages. Standing on the green, the first tee on the serene peaceful morning is just a part of one affection to the game. This is a game of passion and patience and it is played on the most beautiful backdrops you can imagine.
Since we mentioned this last it is a good time to remind you that we are here today to talk a bit about that beautiful backdrops. The article here will tell you exactly what to look for when you are picking your next golf destination. Since there are numerous places you can tour and play on some magnificent green fields, we are here to tell you about a few things you need to look for before you plan your next tour and your next game. A good place to start is thesaticoyclub.com, but you can also pick some of the other destinations you will find below.
Budget
Now, this is probably a no brainer action before planning your next golf destination, but it has to be mentioned. Most golfers, those passionate ones, that see the destination they haven’t visited yet tend to go all-in when it comes to the budget. What we mean is that there is no plan for spending they just want to hit that one that they wanted for so long. This is not a good approach because the course is probably not that expensive, the accommodation can be managed but the spending on the course, club or all-around has to be planned because you will easily get lost in all your expenses.
Plan in advance
When choosing your next golf destination you will have to plan, and on some fields and places, you have to plan almost an entire year. These are the places that are usually highly sought out for and places that have a lot of traffic. If you are not going alone, if you have your buddies with you then try and be considerate about their timings with jobs, family, kids and whatnot. The perfect period to plan the golf destination would be 3 to 6 months in advance, which is the time that is easily remembered and manageable to follow through.
Tournament or free play
This is another thing you need to consider when choosing your next golfing destination. You have to think about whether you wish to join a tournament, meaning is their money involved in the game or you are simply doing a free play in the destination you picked out. It goes without saying that if you have friends with you on that tour you should inform them about those things as well. It would be rather uncomfortable for everyone if you picked a place to play that has a tourney on and no one besides you knows about it.
The side things
Now when planning for your new golfing destination try and look at what else is there around or in the club you opt for. Numerous destinations around the world have things you may be interested in before or after your game. You can opt for inland courses and have great views all around, you can go to the seaside like Hawaii and tour their courses as well as the beaches, you can opt for courses that have a combo of the golf course and resort where you can have fancy wine and dine time.
The distances
Another important thing that has to be considered is the distances between your accommodation and the course, or the distance between the course and the amenities, or the distance between the courses if you are planning to circle all that the location offers. This is important to plan because you will need to know if you need to hire a car to get from point A to point B, will the club you are in, or the course provide some sort of transportation to the courses, and when it comes to the sleeping arrangements you need to find the most central oriented stay so you can easily and quickly get to the green, to the amenities if you want to spend as much time as possible on the course and not driving around.
The facilities
Now several times we mentioned the golf resorts or clubs you will be staying at, and this is the thing you have to check good because you want the best possible accommodation for the money you are going to pay. It isn’t too hard to search these places these days and to be acquainted with what they offer and to know if the response from people that used these facilities is satisfactory or not. Take some time and look up every course, club and resort to be informed about the quality, prices, what they offer besides the golf and so on.
Weather
This is a bit of a difficult thing to plan and predict, but when you plan your next golf destination try to do it when the weather is the best for that. We do understand that weather is something you cant impact and predict to the fullest but at least try to avoid heavy rain seasons/days or very windy days whenever you are planning to go. Look for what other golfer said about your desired place and if anyone left a comment about when it is better to go, or when you shouldn’t go at all, based on their previous experience. This is something that will help you greatly, especially if you are limited on time. This way you will make sure that you spend most of your day on the grass instead of in your room or restaurant.
