The Golfing Trip of a Lifetime
With the weather closing in, Winter is
the perfect time to book your next trip
abroad. Whilst thousands of golfers will
head to well-trodden pastures in Spain
and Portugal, why not head further afield
in 2020? Annual flight sales around Black
Friday and Boxing Day also make Winter
one of the most economical times to
book your next trip abroad … so what are
you waiting for?
Golfbreaks have selected some of
their favourite golfing locations for those
looking for something different in 2020,
and so whether it’s Mauritius, the USA,
South Africa, the UAE, or even seeing one
of the game’s biggest events at the Ryder
Cup, you can be sure that there’s a break
for every group!
USA
A country with more golf courses than
anywhere else on planet Earth, the USA is
truly a must-visit for any avid golfer. From
the desert golf in Arizona, through to
some of the best golf resorts in the world
in Florida and the Carolinas – there’s really
nothing like golf in the USA.
Payne Stewart’s footsteps with a trip to
Pinehurst Golf Resort. The resort currently
operates nine golf courses, offering a
selection of accommodation options and
a myriad of off-course options, including
their own onsite brewery!
For those looking to take in some
professional golf, why not head to
Phoenix, Arizona and experience the thrill
of the Waste Management Phoenix Open
in late-January 2020? Join the 20,000 fans
surrounding the loudest hole in golf for
an experience you’ll never forget, whilst
also taking in rounds of golf at the nearby
Grayhawk and Ocotillo courses. It’s the
perfect getaway to kick off the new year!
GOLFBREAKS TOP TIP:
With so much choice on offer, you won’t
be able to take in everything in one trip!
Find the type of break that best suits
your group and make sure you tick off
those courses you’ve seen on TV! With
more flights to the USA than any other
worldwide destination, make sure you
take advantage of flights sales around
Black Friday and Christmas to maximise
the value of your break!
