Finding Golf Resort Deals

The shoulder season is the bargain hunter’s best
friend. The period just before or after the peak season will generally result in lower prices,
fewer crowds and weather that is similar to the peak season. There is a slightly greater
chance of sub prime weather then during peak season but, the savings can be substantial. The shoulder season can mean
colder, warmer or wetter weather then peak season depending on the location. It can also simple mean
there is diminished demand (i.e. less travelers because school is back in session, etc.)
Florida and the desert
southwest’s shoulder season is during the summer. Rising mercury results in lower
prices. The
east coast’s is early spring and late fall.
Lower mercury equals lower prices. There are areas that don’t have
much of a shoulder season. The upper mid west and northeast generally have peak season or snow. Unless you’ve stocked up on
orange balls, you will probably end up paying peak rates.
Package deals generally end up being less than al a carte
pricing but, buyer beware.
The more famous and/or exclusive the venue the less likely there
will be bargains. There are venues that even 10 Karat Kenny must pay full price. Shadow Creek, Pebble Beach,
Bandon Dunes and Sea Island fall into this category. If you want to put these
notches in your belt, you are going to pay.
