Top 5 Golf Travel Considerations

Golf travel can be great fun, but vacation planning can be time-consuming and costly given the need to research and coordinate hotel rooms and tee times. One of the fastest and most cost-effective methods of planning a golf vacation is through a golf travel expert who can arrange golf packages that include the hotel, golf courses, and sometimes even golf carts and transportation.

Since a golf vacation offers the opportunity to play all year long in warm climates, many travel destinations have recognized their ability to yield excellent golf courses; have contracted with leading golf course designers; and are subsequently increasing in popularity. With 200 golf courses, Mexico is one of them; 16 are in the state of Quintana Roo and more are under way.

Offering some of the finest luxury hotels and championship golf courses in Mexico ― expanding soon to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America ― RedGolf® can help you plan a smart golf vacation.

Top 5 Points to Consider:

1.) Golf Resorts

Look for a variety of prescreened, luxury hotels that provide (or partner with) leading travel golf courses and include a quality spa, fitness center, beach club, kids’ club, and travel tours to accommodate family members and non golfers.

2.) Golf Courses

Select from some of the world’s finest championship golf courses. Designed by famous professional golfers and architects, many are built alongside the rainforest, lagoon, ocean, and white sand beaches of Cancun, Cozumel, and the Riviera Maya.

3.) Course Selection

The frequency that travelers want to play golf will influence the number of golf courses selected and the amount of play time invested. For casual golfers, one or two courses may be sufficient; for serious golfers, a different course each day may be preferred.

4.) Book Tee Times

Booking tee times ahead of schedule is common, at least one week and up to 60 days in advance, depending on the popularity of the golf course. We recommend booking discount tee times early at Riviera Maya and Cancun golf courses.

5.) Plan Flexibility

Golf travel can be expensive, so reduce costs (not quality) by combining golf courses with a luxury hotel of your choice. With lower hotel room rates and discount tee times, planning a golf vacation just became more convenient and affordable.
