Any notable trips you'd recommend?
Good suggestions. HSVA was our trip last year. Lot of fun and a whole lot of options. Looking to go bigger this year.AggieDruggist89 said:

If ur in Texas, travel time to Bandon is same as Scotland....just sayin...
Thanks for the great suggestions so far. Looks like we're a little late to the party for a stay-and-play resort this year - we'll have to look at a destination that has a great selection of public courses for '23 while going ahead and booking a big '24 trip.kwammer said:
probably help to know more about your group

We're 8 buddies - all class of '15 & '16. Most of the group lives in Texas. Last year was our first trip and we did Hot Springs Village purely because it was a simple way to ensure the inaugural trip actually happened. We'd be more focused on the golf over night life but wouldn't hate having more to do than a HSV retirement community.
We've discussed a few options for this year so far;
Traverse City, MI
Scottsdale, AZ
Just north of NYC
Milwaukee, WI
Any success with public courses in these areas?^ Any other recommendations given some of the group specifics?

I'm trying to plan a trip down to the Pinehurst area for a weekend this summer. I know I'll have to make two trips in order to play everything I want to play, but I'm torn on which to do first.ChoppinDs40 said:
Pinehurst. Most affordable trip for some of the best golf you'll ever play. Do a stay and play package for 2-3 nights and hit Tobacco Road on you're way out
mid pines and pine needles are very skippable. Southern Pines way better. I'd honestly try to hit a 2nd PH course over Mid Pines/Pine Needles. Or, run it back at Tobacco Road. It's a course that almost needs a 2nd play. Such a cool place.The Milkman said:I'm trying to plan a trip down to the Pinehurst area for a weekend this summer.

This trip would likely be just 2 of us, maybe 4. But probably a more serious golfer group. The other could be a less skilled group but likes to have fun.
Pinehurst (2, 4, 8, Cradle)
Tobacco Road
Pine Needles
Mid Pines
Southern Pines.
Thinking for the higher skilled group it should be Pinehurst and Tobacco Road right? Fortunately its only about a 5-6 hour drive from Maryland so maybe the agenda looks like:
Thursday AM drive
Tobacco Road Thursday PM
Friday AM - Pinehurst 4 or 8
Friday PM Cradle?
Saturday AM - Pinehurst #2
Sunday AM - Pinehurst #4 or 8
Sunday PM drive home
Is that realistic in terms of energy and pacing etc?
I think so. I'd probably do more of PH that way you can mark that off the list. And the stay & play drops the additional price. #2 is an extra ~$200 to play last I looked.The Milkman said:I'm trying to plan a trip down to the Pinehurst area for a weekend this summer.
