Make It a Merry Christmas with Golf and the Gulf Coast

Who’s hoping for golf stuff this Christmas? A few rounds of golf or a gift certificate to a favorite golf course, new clubs, or even a new package of golf balls can really make a golfer’s holiday.

Here’s what else will make a golfer’s holiday season in a big way: celebrating and golfing in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. There’s a whole lot of Gulf Coast Christmas activity going on this month that will make the trip down worth it all on its own, including daily holiday ice skating at The Wharf, the 28^th Annual Christmas Lighted Boat Parade on December 14^th, and Christmas shows like the Coastal Chorale Christmas Show taking place all weekend (December 6^th – 8^th) in Foley and the Baldwin Pops Christmas Concert at the Foley Civic Center on December 9^th.

The shopping is also good in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach—the area has everything from unique boutiques and souvenir shops to art galleries to the Tanger Outlets in Foley. It’s the perfect time and place for finishing up some holiday shopping.

And amid all the hustle and bustle, you’ll still find great Gulf Coast golf; you won’t find frigid temperatures that make it impossible to play this time of year.

Treat yourself to an early Christmas present: make it a Coastal Christmas golf getaway.

A Couples Golf Vacation Makes a Nice Gift

Guys, this is your friendly reminder that Valentine’s Day is this Thursday—if you haven’t picked out that special gift yet, you better hurry up and get on that.

If you’re stumped on what exactly that special gift should be, I’d like to make a recommendation: plan a couple’s golf getaway to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. Just you, your better half, and several rounds of golf on the Gulf Coast. And of course the white-sand beach and a Gulf-front condo or hotel, if you want—it’s all part of the package.

That package is easy enough to book if you visit the Gulf Shores Golf Association website—just click on the “Plan” tab on the homepage to get started. Remember, the actual trip doesn’t have to take place this weekend. Booking a surprise golf vacation for any upcoming time of year would be enough of a pleasant Valentine’s surprise.

Spring is right around the corner…perhaps a spring golf getaway, just the two of you, is in order!
