The SEC BeachFest Is Only One Week Away!

Only one week to go until the 2013 SEC BeachFest! If you’ve planned your Gulf Shores & Orange Beach golf vacation around the BeachFest (August 15 – 18), plan on having a blast: signature golf courses and a weekend-long SEC football season kickoff party. Weekend passes are still available.

If you haven’t planned on being here for the event but are now thinking you’d like to attend, you have a couple choices for incorporating golf. First, there’s always the prospect of a golf vacation. It’s easy enough to plan—get a customized quote on a golf package, or use the Gulf Shores Golf Association’s interactive planner to help kick-start the planning process.

Then there’s the SEC BeachFest Golf Scramble, which starts Thursday, August 15^th. Entry in the golf scramble gets you three rounds of golf at Craft Farms (one round at Kiva Dunes if your foursome qualifies for finals), two days of complimentary breakfast and lunch, a gift bag, and of course free tickets to the SEC BeachFest—which gives you access to the FanZone and legendary SEC coaches and players.

Sounds pretty sweet, right? Just imagine if your golf group wins—now you’re looking at a trip for eight to the SEC Football Championship in Atlanta, which includes VIP passes to the game, a two-night hotel stay, and other perks.

Yes, you do have time to plan a trip to this awesome Gulf Shores event. Start planning now!

August Brings Golf and Concerts in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

What if you could play golf in the morning, walk the beach and swim in the Gulf in the afternoon, and attend a concert in the evening? Book an August golf vacation in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach and you’ll have plenty of chances to do just that. Several music events are scheduled for August, so it’s a good month to make a great vacation out of golf and music.

On August 6th, Kelly Clarkson and The Fray, with special guest Carolina Liar, are playing at The Wharf Amphitheater. Then on August 17th is Jason Mraz with special guest Christina Perri, also at The Wharf Amphitheater. Later in the month, on August 25th, you can catch Lynyrd Skynyrd with special guests Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Drake White. All three concerts are sure to be amazing ways to end an already great day of Gulf Coast golf!

And let’s not forget about the SEC BeachFest taking place August 23rd to 26th. Not only will there be live concerts at Gulf Shores Public Beach, but you’ll also get to see past and present SEC coaches and players, ESPN commentators, a fashion show, and a golf tournament. Or maybe you’re planning to play in the SEC BeachFest Alumni Golf Scramble—in which case you might want to visit the Gulf Shores Golf Association website for information on winning free entry to the event. Just click on “News & Events” under the “Explore” tab.

August is going to be a hot month in more ways than one on the Gulf—be there!
