After a Round of Golf

If you’re planning a golf vacation on the Gulf Shores Golf Association website, you know can book tee times and your whole day will be planned. What do you usually do after a few rounds of golf? Do you go for walk on the beach or take a dip in the pool? Does your day usually end there?

If you get jazzed up after a thrilling day of golf, just remember that the fun will just be beginning in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. You’ll need to refuel for the next day’s game, so dinner is always the perfect place to start. There are plenty of choices for dining in the area. You can go spend a relaxing evening at a place such as Cobalt the Restaurant in Orange Beach, which boasts a spectacular bay view from every table. With numerous boat slips onsite, you can even arrive by water.

Are you a night owl? If you know you will still be ready to let loose, Live Bait Food & Spirits and Tacky Jacks are two great choices for nightlife in the area. You can go dance the night away while you enjoy live music at either location.

Whatever your preferences may be, you can always make it the best golf day possible!

How Easy It Is to Plan a Gulf Coast Golf Getaway

“How difficult is it to plan a golf vacation in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach?” This is the question a coworker asked me recently. He wants what we all want: a golf vacation at the beach in the spring. Perfect. And if it’s perfect, it must be difficult to put together. Right?

Nope. Not at all if you plan this getaway through the Gulf Shores Golf Association website. There you can browse the area’s signature golf courses and variety of accommodations, check out sample rates, and even request an estimate. Really the most difficult part is figuring out which golf courses you want to play during your vacation, and which type of lodging you want—hotel, condo, beach house. Do you want an upscale Gulf-front condo, or will a simple chain hotel work better? Will you play a different golf course every day, or will you keep it simple with just one or two courses during your stay?

The real question is, how easy is it to plan a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach golf vacation? Pretty easy. The hard part is waiting for your vacation time to arrive. And believe me—it’s worth the wait.
