WWP REVIEW

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) Wounded Warrior Project (WWP)

"For the last 3 years, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) has collaborated with the staff at the PGA Tour Golf Academy at WGV, providing a unique golf coaching experience for wounded warriors recovering from a wide array of physical and mental injuries. What sets the Academy apart is the ability to have multiple golf coaches deliver high-level instruction while adding their own flair and personality to each session."

"First let me say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The weekend far exceeded my expectations. All was just perfect, from beginning to end. I thought this would be a one time event for me, but I am already thinking of doing it all again in a few years."

Andy

Andy P. Buddy Trip

"Thank you again for helping organize an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience - it was the best golf experience I have ever had. Learning about the history of Sawgrass and then experiencing it like a pro was truly special. I will watch the Players Championship on TV this year with a different perspective."

Jason M. Buddy Trip

"Just wanted to say thank you to the team that helped us put together our trip! The staff and resort were amazing and we enjoyed every minute we were there! It was a beautiful property, and every meal was fantastic and service was great. The two courses I played were both in great shape and were fun to play as well!"

Lori R

Lori R. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“Anne Cain is an amazing teacher. Her instruction was easy to understand and was visually supported with her video evaluation. She gave me take home drills which helped to reinforce a better turn and arm position in my swing. I won’t go to another instructor! She’s rated as a Top 100 Pro for a very good reason!”

Keith M

Keith M. Stay & Play Vacation

“Everything about our TPC Sawgrass experience was excellent, and I checked playing at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course off my bucket list. All of the staff were amazing, especially the caddies. Thanks for all of your help in putting this together for us, and we will definitely keep you in mind on our inevitable future trips to TPC courses!”

Thanks for all your help!! You are ACES!”

Renne & Bob

Parent

Parent of a Junior Camper Junior Golf Camp

“Great camp! My son really learned a lot and had fun. The camp introduced him to golf correctly and without the pressure of playing with adults. This builds confidence in a child’s own ability.”

“My son was so excited every morning to go to camp. He loved the coaches and really enjoyed the kids in his group. He came home every day and practiced in our backyard. Thank you for a successful program. Also, thank you for the assortment of goodies on the first day of camp.”

Headshot-10

“My son just finished the half-day camp at TPC Scottsdale. I took him golfing this morning for the first time since and I was absolutely amazed at his improvement since we last played. Absolutely amazing!!! The coaches at TPC Scottsdale do an excellent job and my son will be back for future camps. Thank you.”

“You guys have one of the best training curriculum and “building block” approach in the market. I played with my friends in the south of Spain on three different courses and I performed better and our group always won! Once again, thanks for your patience and sharing your passion with me.”

Larry A. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“My instructor did a superb job introducing me to all phases of the game, as I am relatively new to the game. He was knowledgeable, communicated well, and was patient with me. Before departing, my instructor ensured I had the Tour Academy Home Edition, and I’m now using the 8-week course to enhance the training I received during my visit.”

Tony Group Experience

“Thank you so much for your help planning our group Golf trip to TPC Sawgrass. From the room to the golf everything was great! Everyone in the group put our trip to TPC Sawgrass as the top guy’s golf trip they have been on in recent years. I can not thank you enough for all your help!”

Nathan Group Experience

“I can’t express enough my gratitude for your assistance in rescheduling our client golf outing from Sea Island to TPC Sawgrass on a two day notice - I know it’s not easy to find tee times and hotel rooms for 16 guys with such little notice. Everyone enjoyed the golf and facilities. We will be back for sure!”

Headshot

Joe Group Experience

“Sunriver lived up to its billing! The greens were some of, if not the best I have ever played and I’ve played a number of top 50 like Saucon Valley. It was a great recommendation and good value. My best friend and I are thinking about going back with our wives next year.”

15 of the Best Golf Resorts in the U.S. With Championship Courses and Luxe Accommodations

These are the best places to tee off across the country.

golf travel trips

Golf can either be a fun thing to do on vacation or the whole point of your trip. Either way, narrowing down the best courses to visit can be challenging — especially in places that have many options, like Naples, Florida, and Hilton Head, South Carolina. We've assessed the quality of the golfing, the luxuriousness of the accommodations, and more to round up the best golf resorts in the U.S.

First, ask yourself: Is the goal to take the family to a place with lots of activities and dining as well as championship courses? Would you rather play at the same courses as the pros or explore the work of favorite course designers? Do you prefer the ocean, desert, or mountains? What time of year do you want to go? With almost too many golf in the U.S. to choose from, we've rounded up some suggestions for resorts across the country that offer superior amenities and world-class courses.

The 11 best golf trips that offer the most bang for your buck

Much like weddings or school reunions, buddies trips offer golfers a chance to reconnect with friends away from the stress of day-to-day routines. Play some golf. Have a few drinks. Needle your opponent when the match gets tight. These getaways take on different shapes and sizes, but whether you take them with buddies from college, your weekend foursome or family members, the camaraderie always makes for memorable stories told long after the return home.

Of course, much like weddings, golf trips can be expensive. The most popular golf-trip destinations, though they might include some fantastic courses, can set you back thousands of dollars. If you’re looking to plan your next golf getaway but don’t want to break the bank, we’ve got you covered.

This collection includes our 11 favorite budget golf-trip destinations. We've identified some of the top quality, cheaper golf options that are worth seeking out in each region. Many of these courses have stay-and-play packages available to maximize value even further. 

Click around to learn more about each course and read reviews from our course-ranking panelists. And if you’re looking for more inspiration, check out our new, searchable course database,  Places to Play,  to plan your next trip.

Northern Michigan

Michigan is one of the most underrated public golf destinations in North America—with a ton of great courses in close proximity—it's perfect for planning a trip around. For your next buddies’ trip, consider heading up north for startling elevation changes, stunning scenery and tremendous value.

Though Forest Dunes and Arcadia Bluffs would be at the top of our lists if money was no obstacle, the below options are perfect for the group on a budget.

Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail—complete with nearly 500 holes at 11 facilities spread across the state—provides some of the best value in the country. We’ve selected the best courses on the Trail between Birmingham and Montgomery for you to plan your next trip around.

Birmingham, al, united states.

Towering pines and two large lakes frame many holes on this expansive layout just south of Birmingham. Significant elevation changes dictate a layout that plays up and down the banks that surround the two lakes, which are connected by a stunning waterfall that separates the ninth and 18th greens. With wide landing areas and large greens, there is ample room for wayward shots. The course tips out over 8,000 yards, but there are five sets of tees to accommodate all players.  Note: The course is temporarily closed due to green damage caused by misapplied herbicide.

From Golf Digest Architecture Editor emeritus Ron Whitten: At the same time in 1989 when Tom Doak was constructing the Heathland Course at Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, Pete Dye's younger son, P.B. Dye, was on site concocting another 18, the Moorland Course. (I'm pretty sure Doak routed Moorland at the same time he prepared his plans for Heathland, because early press releases stated Doak was do three 18s at the resort. He ended up building just one of the three.) Moorland, like Heathland, opened in 1990, and I played both soon thereafter. For our architecture editor's complete review, click here .

Colonial Williamsburg

Oftentimes, a buddies’ trip is all about the golf. A 27- or 36-hole day is commonplace for many groups looking to maximize time on the course. Colonial Williamsburg is great for that -- as many resorts offer multiple courses that are all worth playing. But on at least one of the days, make sure you head to the historic center of town, where life looks similar to as it did in the 18 th  century.

For another getaway to the Sunshine State, consider heading down to the Tampa area, where you’ll find some great public options. Tampa offers the perfect combination of quality nightlife with very good golf. Though Innisbrook Resort or nearby Streamsong might top many traditional lists, we’ve identified some hidden gems for this buddies-trip-on-a-budget list that for solid value.

Also keep in mind that World Woods -- which will be Cabot Citrus Farms when it re-opens (projected to be the end of 2023) -- will become our new favorite option in the area.

West point, mississippi.

One of the more underrated destinations in this collection, West Point, Miss. boasts a couple of exceptional layouts—both ranked on our 100 Greatest Public list—that won’t break the bank.

Mossy Oak Golf Club

Mossy Oak Golf Club

West point, ms.

From Golf Digest Architecture Editor emeritus Ron Whitten: Back in mid-1980s, George Bryan, who ran Bryan Foods, now part of Sara Lee Corp., created Old Waverly Golf Club in tiny West Point, Miss., a Bob Cupp/Jerry Pate design and former U.S. Women’s Open host that to me is a bit underrated. In the early 2000s, Bryan bought an old dairy farm (Knob Hill Dairy) across the highway and hired Gil Hanse to give him an Old School public golf course. George named it Mossy Oak, after a West Point company of the same name that supplies outdoor camouflage gear. (The company has a 10-percent interest in the course.) He was going to call it Howlin' Wolf after a legendary blues singer born in West Point, but his heirs wanted too much money. Hanse got the job before he was awarded the Rio Olympics design in 2012, and it was the first project he tackled after completing his work in Brazil. For the full review from our architecture editor, click here .

Old Waverly Golf Club

Old Waverly Golf Club

From Golf Digest Architecture Editor emeritus Ron Whitten: I've always admired Jerry Pate's work in golf architecture. He was one of the few PGA Tour pros who really got down and dirty in golf design, and I especially liked the few courses he did with architect Bob Cupp. Their second collaboration was Old Waverly in tiny West Point, Miss., a dream project of West Point native George Bryan. Cupp was just two years removed from his employment as Jack Nicklaus’ chief designer, and Pate was still active on the PGA Tour when they started the project in August 1986. Both spent a lot of time on the site. I remember Pate was as proud of the massive drainage system he successfully persuaded Old Waverly to adopt as he was of the many strategies he helped impart in its holes. The course opened in August 1988 to immediate acclaim, finishing No. 3 among Golf Digest's Best New Private Courses in 1989. For the complete review from our architecture editor, click here .

San Antonio

In terms of affordable public golf, the San Antonio area is tough to beat. Of all the destinations in this collection, these Texas Hill Country courses may provide the most bang for your buck. Of course, Austin is also very doable when headed to the Hill Country, but there's a little more value on and off the course in San Antonio.
