Best Rates Longest Drives

Coming to the desert in the summer for a little Scottsdale golf experience is well worth the buck. The rates for your Scottsdale golf experience during the summer months are at least half of what they would be during the winter. This is the time of year that we as locals are most likely to go out and play at some of the bigger name courses. A couple of the courses that I am speaking about are Troon, Boulders, and We-Ko-Pa. These courses all have challenging layouts and elevation changes to test your skills. Summer is not only the off-season for Scottsdale golf, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and Tucson also drops the rates into the basement. This is now the season of the monsoon here in the Valley of the Sun. With the monsoon season upon us the temperatures will now begin to drop in the evenings and early afternoons. Scottsdale golfing begins to be a challenge with your late afternoon finishing. You will notice the dust storms rolling through the valley and the winds picking up, soon after the half hour to hour of down pour to follow. This is a real treat for us locals. I even enjoy the challenge of these late afternoon windstorms when I am out on the course. It is always nice to get a change of pace once your round has begun and having the skies turn grey and the wind picking up 20 miles an hour usually makes it about time to parlay those skins when you’re down. Make your Scottsdale golf plans today for the rest of the season and get those savings through Sonoran Suites. Just log on to our website at www.sonoransuites.com

Head West It’s The Best

I have recently visited our property in San Diego, and it is great. You will be amazed at what you actually get by booking a San Diego golf vacation through Sonoran Suites. All of our suites are very clean and the maintenance up keep is stellar. Our property hosts a lagoon style pool and all the amenities are first rate. This is just the beginning. By booking a San Diego golf vacation through us you will have your tee times set up months before you even arrive and receive your preferred tee times. Our golf specialists will walk you through the entire process of booking, selecting your courses, setting up your rental car, and provide you with directions each day to get you out and dropping birdies before you know it. The best thing about booking a San Diego golf vacation right now is the temperature on the coast averaging about 75 degrees through the end of summer. The courses you will play on your San Diego golf vacation are in great shape right now because this is the peak season for southern California right now. The style of play will vary depending whether you are on the coast or inland a little bit. Playing on the coast you will have to defend yourself against the gusting winds off the Pacific and the out of bounds really being out of bounds. The cliffs and protected areas outside the ruff will cause you re-tee, or drop quite often depending on your accuracy for the day. Getting more inland is simply beautiful as you creep into the foothills and higher elevations, and more greenery. The elevation changes are quite dramatic, as you get more inland as well. Your San Diego golf vacation just wouldn’t be complete without starting each morning out with breakfast at Ki’s. This is a great little spot for breakfast through lunch. Located just south of Encinitas on the Pacific Coast Hwy, you will enjoy eggs and bacon while watching the locals tear it up in the surf just a pitching wedge away. We would like to get you started on your San Diego golf vacation today, just log onto sonoransuites.com to begin your So. Cal. experience today. Tee’em high and let’em fly!

It’s British Open Time

So you are probably wondering why you are reading about The British Open on a Southwest Golf Vacation website. Well, it is The British Open and it is a major, besides, I love the tournament and I love golf so follow along. The world’s finest will return to Carnoustie Golf Links next week, site of Jean Van De Velde’s historic collapse and Paul Lawrie’s anticlimactic win in a playoff. Who can forget the site of Van De Velde heading into the Barry Burn on 18 with his pants legs rolled up and shoes in his caddie’s hands as he was about to come apart for all the world to see. You won’t find too many scenes like this in Scottsdale, Tucson, Palm Springs, San Diego or Las Vegas, but you will find some golf inspired by the British Isles. If a Scottsdale Golf Vacation Package is in your plans why not tee it up at Troon North. The Pinnacle and Monument courses may not remind you of links golf with their stunning mountain views and perfectly groomed fairways but Troon Golf Management takes their name from Royal Troon, one of the oldest courses in Scotland, founded in 1878. If you are up for some links style golf while on your Scottsdale Golf Vacation then try Trilogy at Vistancia, We Ko Pa’s new Saguaro Course or Kokopelli. For some true old world British style stop by ASU’s Karsten course for a round and watch the golf service employees take care of your every need while decked out in their Plus 4’s. The British Open may not inspire thoughts of a Scottsdale Golf Vacation in every one, but now is the perfect time to start planning your next trip!
