What are some good “Stay and Play” packages and courses to golf for the weekend?

We are looking to stay overnight on a weekend in May and play 2 or 3 rounds of golf in 2 days. We are interested in Vermont, New Hampshire, Eastern Pennsylvania, New York. I would prefer high quality courses. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

In New York you can go to Turning Stone.

There are three courses (one is PGA) and just an awesome experience. I hope you decide to take the trip. Enjoy the write up.

Home to The Turning Stone Resort Championship on the PGA TOUR, the Oneida Indian Nation’s resort has evolved into the premier golf destination in the Northeast.

Three preeminent golf course architects — Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Rick Smith — have each crafted masterpieces at Turning Stone. In addition to the three 18-hole layouts, the resort’s ensemble includes two nine-hole courses and an indoor training facility.

The Atunyote Golf Club, designed by Fazio, will host the 2007 Turning Stone Resort Championship Sept. 17-23. PGA TOUR players will vie for $6 million in prize money. The course is located in a secluded setting several miles from the resort. In typical Tom Fazio style, the course features numerous water features, spacious bunkers and quick putting surfaces.

The Kaluhyat Golf Club, created by Jones, is a classic shot-maker’s course marked by tight fairways and well-protected greens.

The Shenendoah Golf Club, the Smith compilation, is the dean of the resort’s championship offerings. The site is abounding with preserved wetlands and ornamental native grasses.

Smith employed the same meticulous attention to detail in designing Sandstone Hollow, Turning Stone’s par three course. It’s the ideal venue for novices or accomplished players looking to fine-tune their short game.

Pleasant Knolls, a regulation-length nine-hole course, is a player-friendly layout with open fairways and gently rolling terrain.

Turning Stone’s indoor training facility houses 40 hitting stations, two putting surfaces and a bunker. It’s also equipped with the Model Golf instructional system.

The Golf Academy at Turning Stone is staffed by PGA teaching professionals offering individualized or group lessons.
