Beginners and champions alike will find challenges on rambling ridge line fairways and more than one pro has lost a ball in the tiny ornamental ponds that lure them into a little too much relaxation. Cart rentals and caddys are available for those who need them and area leagues are glad to welcome visitors into their tournaments.
Greens fees for shooting 9-holes are a very reasonable $20-$25 during the off season, but climb to a still very reasonable $25-$35 during peak times which happen from March through October. Playing a full 18 holes saves you a couple of bucks if you want to spend a full day chasing the ball. Private clubs are plentiful and offer both temporary and permanent membership for anywhere between $50 and $800. Discounts are available for seniors and students.
Inside the towns of the region you will find driving ranges, golf shops, accessories, and plenty of golf pros that are willing to help you shave a few points from your game. One of the best keys to improving your golf game is to relax and let your swing carry itself, you won't have any problems with that as you luxuriate in one of the top relaxation spots in the continental USA. After a day on the course you can continue the fun by visiting one of the many pubs, restaurants, or night spots for which the region is equally well known.
Most of the exclusive clubs and courses offer golfing packages in collaboration with resorts that can include spa time, lessons, and other activities. It's always worth while to check on specials before booking because you might find yourself on a better course for less money if you do things right.
