5 Things To Look For In a Golf Packager

1. Golf Knowledge-You need more information than courses have 18 holes and green grass. Aeration schedules, course difficulty, weather and other events going on during your trip can all have a major effect on your fun.

2. Full Range of Services-With one phone call you should be able to take care of all your accommodation, transportation and golf needs. More time and effort on the phone means less time thinking about birdies and bragging rights.

3. Local Information-You are not calling the local chamber of commerce. Expect real time reviews of the best in local accommodation, steaks, martinis and local attractions.

4. Local Presence-Go with someone who can assist with onsite needs during your trips. That 800 travel number won’t help much on a Sunday morning when the unexpected problem arises.

5. Trip Options and Flexibility-It’s your trip so talk to someone who can set up your trip based on what you and your group wants, versus something prepackaged. With maximum flexibility, you can pick the best local options based on your budget.

The Pinehurst name is most often linked to the magic of the Donald Ross #2 course. The other seven Pinehurst Resort courses with designers such as Ross, Fazio, Ellis Maples and Rees Jones, offer plenty of quality golf as well. What many golfer don’t realize is the tremendous number of other hidden gems located in the area.

Little River Farm

This Dan Maples design is located five miles from the Pinehurst traffic circle. Purchased by European golf resort owner Oceanico in late 2007, Troon Golf now runs the golf operation with typical superb course conditioning. The golf course plays out in an open, prairie like feel and comes back in a more forested environment with significant elevation change. Club Professional Marvin Waters runs a customer focused operation including food and beverage service.
