Winter Golfing
I normally head to the warm California desert every year for anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks of glorious golfing but unfortunately this year I won't be going.
So I am going to be SADistic and find out where everyone else is going to be for the winter!
What are your plans for winter golf?
How long you going for?
What courses will you get to play?
Please be gentle if you are heading to paradise! LOL

Bermuda for a week - golfing mostly the Southampton Princess course(par 3) cause we get 50% off. Maybe the Port Royal a couple of times. All of the other courses too pricey!
Australia for a month - won't be golfing everyday but hoping to get out a few times. Anybody recommend any courses in the New South Wales area(Sydney/New Castle)?

Going to Cheraw State Park Golf Course in South Carolina for a week in March. Too far away to be dreaming just yet. Will be going with 6-8 guys so it should be fun. We stay in cabins on the site. It's a nice little town with great atmosphere.

How about heading north instead?
This is an idea I have been toying with for some years, but have yet to follow through! In addition, I heard that graphite shafts are not recommended! Apparently, the course is built on the St. Lawrence River.
Cheers,
Tim

Experience a unique golfing experience in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region on a 9-hole winter white course that’ll make your golf partners back home green with envy! Definitely one of the season’s most original activities, to be enjoyed by unconditional golfers and new-experience seekers alike...And after you’ve logged 1,920 total yards, come in for cocktails with the 280 or so participants expected for the occasion.

Didn't you hear about the golf marathon in Scandinavia? Well in summer they can play on the snow, and during 48 hours they play non stop. I heard about playning on the snow, and i don't recommend it at all.

Maybe not very far from where you are, is Coeur D'alene , Idaho. It has a floating green, it seems to be a really good course.

I agree with g8r on the King's greens. I was there in Feb and even at that time they were some of the quickest greens I've ever putted on. Great course. Can't remember if it was the 9th or 18th (we might have started on the back nine) but there was a hole with 40+ bunkers. All you see on the tee is sand. Great intimidating hole. Buddy found 3 bunkers, I somehow managed to avoid all of them.

I like sand. I just hate too much water, i wouldn't be able to play the 17th at Sawgrass, because i've never managed to hit the ball out of the water hazard...

You should play cabo del sol. If you're staying at the Melia hotel, it's not far.

My wife and I are leaving the turkey and the tourtiere behind for the relatives and in-laws to enjoy, while we'll be spending 8 days over Christmas and New Year golfing in Arizona (El Conquistador near Tuscon). I was surprised how relatively inexpensive it was ($550 airfare and greatly reduced green fees), considering we booked only a few weeks ago.
Been going to Golf-O-Max lately to ensure I remember my gap wedge from my putter... Happy Holidays everyone!

Pga west is top of the chart ( stadium course). Quinta is great, and it's the good season to go there.

My winter golf plans consist of indoor driving ranges (domes). I don't have any plans to travel to a warm destination, although it would be very nice to do so.
Maybe next year...[SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkOrange][B][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Orange]Visit[/COLOR] [/FONT][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=DarkOrange][B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][SIZE=2][URL="http://www.engolfed.com"]Engolfed[/URL][/SIZE][URL="http://www.engolfed.com"]

Your blog is great engolfed, didn't know websites like golfjobs were existing. I'd like to have a dome driving range here, to keep playing with a shirt, it isn't the same that playing with sweats .....

Maybe, but there's one in MB as well. Played there last Spring. Great course. Rumour has it that it may be sold in a couple of years to make way for condos. Too bad. It's a great track
