The best countries that offer discount golf vacations are Scotland, Ireland and Spain. There are others that have some good vacation packages by the three above are by far the best. Some of the other countries are Mexico, Australia, China and England. Portugal can be a good option too for your golf vacation packages but it should definitely come very low in the priority for vacationing.  

The discounted golf packages usually include say  4 days or 3 nights vacation with special golf courses for example in Scotland you will have some the best British open golf courses for teeing off in style. The prices can vary from $1200 to $2400 for a person. The packages offer variety of things like accommodations ranging from a 2 star hotel to a 5 star hotel. The other option is a self drive or an escorted tour. A self drive can be less expensive but when it comes to navigating the course and having help then the escorted ones are the best.

Scotland definitely stands as the best with its beautiful castles and splendid golf courses. Ireland comes close second its destination as “Emerald of the Isle”. It has some most awesome cathedrals and some very beautiful ecclesiastical abbeys. Not to forget it has some very challenging golf courses. England is a majestic country with long history of knighthood, monarch and chivalry. Spain definitely offers some cultural feast with its Moorish architecture and Roman ruins.

Enjoy some cultural and social changes along with enjoying golf on a discount golf vacation.

The items that you will be generally paying for while on a discount golf vacation are lodging or accommodations, meals during the stay, drinks (alcoholic as well as non alcoholic), green fees and golf equipment. If you pay for all the above items individually then the total cost would be much more than if you were to get an all inclusive package.

As with everything there are packages to suit all the ranges from budget to luxury which are all inclusive. An all inclusive package will usually have three meals a day, land and water based activities and gratuities. Some golf resorts will include the cost of tours, excursions and even scuba diving in the all inclusive price. You do not generally tip during your stay as that is again a part for the total price.

Most of the golf resorts now offer family staying facilities and activities in the given discount golf vacation price. They offer daytime activities, nigh time baby sitting and many more kids’ activities for the guests.

The best golf packages which are all inclusive are usually offered in the Caribbean islands. Jamaica and Aruba are the other favorites of the golfing enthusiasts.

Make sure to request a quote before you try booking your golf vacation package. Also, request a detailed explanation on all the items included in the package. Sometimes you may need to pay for a few things like green fees or transportation from the hotel to golf course or even equipment and that may ruin the vacation for you. If you are on a budget each and every such detail counts.
