Can you suggest me best site for Golf Vacation Packages in USA & Europe?
although Ive never been Ive been told the myrtle beach area is spendid for a golfing vacation, the san diego area generally has good golfing weather(and other attractions) year round and a number of great golf courses ( I take two weeks off every year to play there since moving away), also Ive read in the major golf magazines and periodicals (golf today ,golf, golf digest , etc.)where there are great deals to go to europe and play a number of courses in a one week stay…
Are there any golf packages or deals in myrtle beach without having to stay in a resort?
It depends on what you mean by a resort- I have stayed at Holiday Inn express, Comfort Inn, and privately owned on-course condos and it was set up as a package. They weren’t what I would call resorts, but I guess that’s a matter of semantics.
If you have housing already sey up, you can try to call around when you are ready to play and see if there are any openings, but that is pretty hit and miss. Try Last Minute Golfer and clikitgolf websites for coupons and deals.
99% of the courses are tied into the package companies, but because of the economy are takng a more pragmatic viewpoint- “a tee time unused is revenue lost forever”.

Going to Myrtle beach, SC. In the end of March, and its not for spring break. Just a little side trip from our Columbia, SC vacation. Anything intresting besides golf to do? Been there before but its been so long.
Broadway on the beach is a fun little shopping area. There’s also a Ripley’s Aquarium there. Definitely check out the boardwalk area. That’s always fun. Then there are your standard movies, mini-golf, shows, shopping, and lots of good eats. Have fun.
what’s the best option for a golf vacation for 8-12 guys in Myrtle Beach and when is the best time of year?
There are bunches of on-line packages, but it’s also pretty easy to find a decent deal on a block of rooms and then make your own golf tee times. I’ve done both – the packages will save you a few bucks, but making your own reservations lets you choose exactly what courses you play.
And FWIW, here are a bunch of random thoughts based on my experience:
Late Winter and Spring are the busiest times in the Grand Strand, but you can play golf there all year long. Mid-summer is generally not busy on the courses, but it can be brutally hot!
Cheapest golf rates are typically Dec-Jan and Jul-Aug. Highest golf rates are Mar-May and Sep-Nov. Room rates tend to follow the beach season more than the golf season.
If you want to play 36 a day, you probably need to make all tee times in advance and at nearby courses . . . unless you go in the summer — otherwise, you will run out of daylight. Myrtle Beach National, Legends, Wild Wing, and others have groupings of excellent courses that would permit playing 36 even on short days. But beware of frost delays in the winter — a very common occurrence especially in clear weather.
If you don’t have afternoon tee times, you can stop in at one the big golf stores in the morning and ask who has after-12 specials going on, because the courses often call the stores to promote those specials and it’s much easier than calling around to find them. I have used this often to select an afternoon 18 and save big bucks.
I’ve never been really disappointed at any of the courses there, but some of my favorites are The Witch, Mooreland, Man O’ War, and Tidewater . . . my least favorites include Wicked Stick and Azalea Sands, but even those were good courses (just not as good as some of the others IMHO).
And lastly, I can also heartily recommend Kiawah Island just south of Charleston. More $$$ than Mrytle, but absolutely wonderful golf courses, accommodations, and packages. The Ocean Course is one place everyone should play at least once.
Where can I find a golf academy on a tropical island?
I normally take a vacation once a year over the Christmas and New Year Holiday. This year I have gotten serious about golf and would like to incorporate golf with my vacation, so I am looking for a tropical destination (beautiful beaches: Hawaii, Cost Rica, Caribbean destination, etc.) that has a golf academy.
Google or Yahoo! it.
