The Carolinas

The Carolinas - Charleston

North & South Carolina

Kiawah Island

Situated on the East Coast of the United States, the states of North and South Carolina are a mecca for golfers looking for exceptional courses amongst stunning scenery. North Carolina is home to over 430 golf courses with legendary designers including Tom Fazio, Rees Jones and Robert Trent Jones Junior all putting their names to courses in the region.

Located on the east coast just 20 miles south of Charleston is Kiawah Island - home of the infamous Ryder Cup battle ‘the war on the shore’ in 1991 and Rory's 2012 USPGA victory. Kiawah is rarely out of the tournament spotlight having hosted an enviable array of PGA events.

Arguably one of the most famous resorts in the USA, Pinehurst is ideally located in the heart of North Carolina; two hours’ drive from Charlotte Douglas airport and just over an hour from Raleigh Durham airport. South Carolina is a true golfing paradise. With over 360 championship calibre golf courses you’ll find exceptional destinations such as Kiawah Island and Hilton Head, as well as the famous Myrtle Beach. The breath-taking views and elevation changes, along with gorgeous layouts along the lakes, rivers and beaches across the state create a stunning landscape to enjoy some of the best golf in the USA.

On the famed Ocean Course, it's the Pete Dye design that is arguably one of the world’s great layouts. Joining an all-star cast are the four other courses at Kiawah – all boasting designers including Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Fazio. The Resort is perfectly positioned along the Atlantic coastline.

The Sanctuary is the height of luxury and one of the world’s great hotels, and the resort villas are a perfect self-catering option.

Daniel Grave, CEO Golfbreaks.com USA The villa prices tend to tail off either side of summer so spring and autumn are fantastic times to get a great price whilst the weather is excellent for golf.

The Sanctuary is renowned for its luxurious surroundings so consider a December break if you're happy with cooler conditions and an attractive price to match.

Golf is playable year-round in The Carolinas with mid-summer temperatures as you’d expect in a southern state hitting around 28°C with spring and autumn being perfect for golf when things are a little cooler.

Pinehurst Resort

Charleston

The largest golf resort in the USA, Pinehurst is laid out over 5,500 acres of land with the first golf course – No.1 - opening in 1897. Perhaps one of the unique features of Pinehurst is the collection of courses that have been over a century in the making. With eight courses of differing age and design, variety sits perfectly alongside quality.

Charleston is the oldest and second-largest city in South Carolina and is renowned for its rich history, architecture and southern charm.

Pinehurst’s best known course, Pinehurst No. 2 was completed in 1907 and in 2014 will host both the US Open and US Women’s Open Championships marking the first time in history that both tournaments have been played in the same year on the same course.

There are four accommodation options within the village – The Holly Inn, The Carolina, The Manor and more relaxed accommodation in the on-site condos.

The wonderful Holly Inn, with 82 guest rooms, is an upmarket hotel that houses Pinehurst's best four-diamond restaurant, the 1895 grille.

The Carolinas - Myrtle Beach

The Carolinas - Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach

Myrtlewood Villas & Golf Resort

With 60 miles of golf-packed coastline and more than 110 courses to enjoy, it’s little wonder that Myrtle Beach is such a popular golf holiday destination.

Variety is the real beauty of this region. The choice of golf courses is almost endless and you will find many of the great names amongst the designers in the region; Norman, Fazio, Love and Dye to name just a few.

You’ll find two courses onsite at Myrtlewood Golf Club - the Palmetto Course is highly popular and a favourite among locals with its wide, fairways that wind through stunning pine forests. Look out for a multitude of hazards hidden away – particularly the bunkers which will have you testing your sand play. Its sister course, Pine Hills, is the only course in Myrtle Beach to have been designed by award-winning architect Arthur Hills and is arguably tougher than its counterpart. It asks for skillfully planned and placed shots amongst its many water hazards and you’ll love the beautifully manicured finish. Ideal for groups looking for a self-catering option, Myrtlewood Villas & Golf Resort is located in the heart of Myrtle Beach and offers great one and two bedroom apartments. The villas are set within the rolling fairways of Myrtlewood Golf Club and are just one mile away from the world famous ‘Broadway at the Beach’ – the hub for bars, restaurants and evening entertainment.

There are a stunning selection of resorts to choose from including the Scottish inspired Legends Golf & Resort or Myrtlewood Villas & Golf Resort – ideal for groups and just one mile from central Myrtle Beach. The Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, another great choice, offers beautiful views out across the Intracoastal Waterway.

Away from the fairways, the action is centered around the Broadway on the Beach – a pedestrianized zone providing a plethora of entertainment, restaurants and nightlife options. Myrtle Beach is known as a holiday town so you can expect great beaches and lively nightlife. With all of this available, it’s clear that South Carolina golf breaks don’t come much better than those on offer in the ‘Grand Strand’.

Marina Inn at Grande Dunes The spectacular 18-hole championship Resort Course at Grande Dunes has been gently sculpted out of naturally wooded landscape and set on high ground offering panoramic views over the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, the waterway and maritime forest.

Using many elevation changes, wide Bermuda grass fairways and 34 acres of lakes, this parkland course is a real pleasure to play and one of the best in the Myrtle Beach area. If staying onsite at the delightful Marina Inn, you also have the opportunity to play the Members Course at Grande Dunes – similar in style to the Resort Course with wide Bermuda grass fairways and contoured greens. The Marina Inn offers a luxurious 5* retreat within the Grande Dunes resort. The 200 rooms and villas are spacious and all offer views over the Intracoastal Waterway.

Legends Golf & Resort Legends Golf & Resort is a Scottish inspired venue and is home to five outstanding courses and a mixture of luxurious two and three bedroomed villas - perfect for golfers wanting a bit more flexibility. The resort facilities are second to none including the three onsite golf courses – The Moorland, Heathland and Parkland. There are two further courses just a short drive away, Oyster Bay and Heritage Golf Course.

The Moorland provides the greatest challenge and is considered one of ‘The’ courses to play along the east coast due to its sculptured terrain and deep sinking bunkers.

The Heathland has a distinct links feel with beautiful views across the coastline whereas the Parkland course – the newest addition – is more diverse with tree-lined fairways and multi-level greens.

John Bowles, Sales Consultant Worldwide If you are in search of a bit more luxury then the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes is a fantastic choice. With Grande Dunes Golf Club just across the waterway and plenty more golf in close vicinity why not enjoy a more indulgent break?

The Sea Pines Resort

Hilton Head Island sits in the southern-most tip of South Carolina and is accessed by crossing a bridge from the mainland. Famed for its beautiful sandy beaches and nature trails, it may only be 60 square miles in size, but it packs a punch in terms of golf with 24 golf courses including some of the world’s most iconic names. The best known is the magnificent Harbour Town Links that has been a PGA Tour regular since 1969 and is one of three superb layouts at the Sea Pines resort. Coupled with an endless array of attractions including

Its iconic par-4 18th overlooks the sweeping waterway known as the Calibogue Sound and you’re greeted by the famous hooped Harbour Town lighthouse as backdrop to the final green.

Golf at Hilton Head The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course, George Fazio Course and Arthur Hills Golf Course all at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, to name just a few, are renowned and recognised as being amongst the best in the South East.

Port Royal Golf Club, Oyster Reef and Palmetto Hall Plantation also provide stunning golf experiences against the beautiful backdrop of Port Royal Sound.

The Ocean Course is the oldest on Hilton Head and remains a favourite with visitors. A classic design – its strategically placed lagoons and bunkers make for a challenging round and you’ll embrace the true coastal experience – its 15th hole is one of only two oceanfront holes on the whole of the island. Heron Point is the newest addition to the Sea Pines Resort and a typical Pete Dye design. It has recently undergone a multi-million dollar transformation to offer a new and improved playing experience.

John Bowles, Sales Consultant Worldwide If you want to escape the crowds, a golf holiday in Hilton Head is the perfect choice. You'll love the tranquil surroundings provided by this oceanside retreat.

Florida - Jacksonville

Florida

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa

The Sunshine State has more golf courses than any other in America, making it the perfect option for a golf holiday.

The Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa is one of the finest ‘stay & play’ resorts in Florida offering luxurious accommodations, world-famous championship golf, excellent leisure and spa facilities as well as a dozen signature restaurants and lounges. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship since 1977, THE PLAYERS Stadium Course offers an unforgettable round.

The finishing holes, including #16 (pictured) are some of the most exciting in golf, the highlight being the iconic Par 3 17th, with its island green A worthy partner to the world-renowned Stadium Course, a round on Dye’s Valley Course is a must when staying at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa.

There are more than 1000 courses to choose from, spread right across the state from Sawgrass in the north all the way down to Miami in the south, via Tampa and Orlando in the centre.

These courses often top the ‘must play’ and ‘top 100’ lists on both sides of the Atlantic due to their exceptional quality and tournament heritage. Perhaps one of the reasons why Florida is so well loved as a golf destination is the wonderful climate – Spring and Autumn are particularly popular travel periods due to the delightful mid-temperatures but it’s ideal for Winter golf and a haven for sunworshippers in the hotter summer months.

Adam Ward, Head of Product In north east Florida, temperatures are slightly cooler than in the south and package prices peak in March when the climate is perfect with an average temperature of 17˚C and the TPC Sawgrass is beginning to take shape for the THE PLAYERS Championship. A great time to travel is in early September, rates are lower as the temperature can be a little high in the middle of the day but averages out at 25˚C. And why not enjoy a tour of the players' locker room whilst you're there?

Northern Florida - Jacksonville The northern section of Florida is home to the World Golf Hall of Fame at the World Golf Village, which also features two incredible courses designed by four of the greatest players ever to grace a fairway (Nicklaus, Palmer, Sarazen, Snead).

A visit to Northern Florida wouldn’t be complete without a round on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course – host of the so called "5th Major", with the famous 17th hole featuring on many people's lists of holes they have to play.

- of the fantastic courses.

Any avid golfer should have the Jack Nicklaus designed Champion Course on their ‘must play’ list. This world-renowned course is home to the Honda Classic, and hosted the 1983 Ryder Cup. It features the infamous ‘Bear Trap’, three of the most demanding closing holes on the Tour. It is widely considered to be one of Florida’s most notable golf challenges. All five of the courses at PGA National are influenced by the greats of the game for a varied and enjoyable experience.

Adam Ward, Head of Product

February and March are popular periods to travel with very little rainfall and 20˚C average temperature however you can save by travelling between October and December when conditions are still perfect. September is an even better deal but a little warmer - averaging 25˚C. Doral is ideal for a shorter 5 night break due to its proximity to Miami airport and the excellent flight connections from the UK.

Turnberry Isle Miami The Biltmore Hotel

A stunning Mediterranean-style golf resort offering 392 bedrooms and suites, the resort offers pure luxury in every respect – and you won’t be disappointed! The two golf courses are equally immaculate; the Soffer Course is the highlight, but the Miller Course is similarly beautiful. Designed by Raymond Floyd, the Soffer Course is unlike any others to be found in the sunshine state.

The legendary Biltmore Hotel is a National Historic Landmark located in Coral Gables, Miami. The hotel has been a favourite of world leaders, celebrities, and sports stars since its opening in 1926 and offers much more than purely exceptional accommodation; with a championship golf course on site, a wide variety of dining options, and a luxury spa.

With gently contoured fairways, doglegs, spectacular water features and numerous elevation changes, this test of golf is unique in the area. The Miller Course is equally stunning and provides golfers with the same level of presentation as its bigger sister.

As well as immaculately kept fairways golfers will experience fast greens and a multitude of water features throughout. Turnberry Isle Miami is equally positioned between both downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale providing the ideal opportunity to experience the highlights of the region.

The Donald Ross designed layout course is lined with trees and features more than 60 bunkers protecting the undulating greens. Water hazards also come into play on six holes but the course isn't completely unforgiving - ample landing areas allow some room for error. A must play course for any golfer staying in Miami.

The Biltmore is only 15 minutes from Miami International so easy for a shorter yet luxury break in America. Its stunning location is perfect for exploring the area - just minutes from South Beach, downtown Miami, Coconut Grove and the Coral Gables business district.

Joe Dent, USA Sales Consultant Turnberry Isle Miami is home to the rich and famous - don't be surprised to see some big names walking the fairways or relaxing on the private beach!

Spring tends to be most popular due to the excellent climate but late autumn provides better value at this extremely high-end and venue.

Daniel Grave, CEO Golfbreaks.com USA This magnificent hotel has it all offering elegance, luxury and style. With a great championship golf course on your doorstep along with an amazing spa facility there is nowhere better to stay whilst visiting Miami.

Part of the Salamander Collection, Innisbrook offers 5* accommodation and endless activities for all to enjoy. For the more adventurous there are the water slides at the Loch Ness Monster pool or if relaxation is your thing then book into the Indaba Spa for an afternoon of indulgence.

There are a variety of accommodation options and all are fully-equipped with kitchens plus balconies or patios offering views over the golf courses or gardens. At the centre of the resort is Reunion Grande, a building that includes a rooftop swimming pool and numerous restaurants & bars to take advantage of.

There could not be a better choice for a golfing holiday with 4 highly regarded courses all on-site. The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook is the most recognizable of the 4 courses as it plays host each year to the US PGA Tour’s Transition Tournament.

The wildlife is abundant, during 18 holes you are likely to encounter bald eagles, blue herons, fox squirrels and don’t be surprised to see the occasional alligator.

Marriott Marco Island Resort & Spa

Saddlebrook Resort

This breath-taking resort is located on three miles of pristine Southwest Florida beach.

After a recent $225 million renovation, the on-site facilities and amenities are second to none. All of the guest rooms have been modernised with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing you to enjoy the stunning views of Marco Island and the Gulf of Mexico.

Located just 30 minutes north of Tampa International Airport, Saddlebrook Resort is surrounded by two of Florida's most picturesque and playable Arnold Palmer designed golf courses and is home to BannLynch Golf at the Saddlebrook Golf Academy.

The Palmer Course plays a little longer than its yardage of 7,100 would suggest and with water hazards on 17 of the holes you will need to plot your way round in order to produce a good score. The Saddlebrook was originally designed in the mid-70s and in 1986 received a full make over by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Longer and tighter than the Palmer, the Saddlebrook course is tree lined throughout and with water featuring on all but one hole, it's a fun challenge. Away from the course there are seven award winning restaurants, a first class Spa and if you are a tennis enthusiast you will love the 45 courts available, offering each of the 4 Grand Slam surfaces.

The two championship golf courses associated with this resort offer a unique challenge and are located only 15 minutes’ drive away from the resort. Don't worry about getting there, the resort offers a complimentary shuttle throughout the day. The Rookery Course was recently re-designed by Robert Cupp Jr and features big greens, wide fairways and the occasional waste bunker. The Hammock Beach course was designed Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy and they have created a slightly easier challenge than The Rookery however the layout and landscape is just as picturesque.

Ross Bousfield, USA Sales Consultant

Daniel Grave, CEO Golfbreaks.com USA

Marco Island offers everything for the perfect golf break but off the course, why not enjoy all of the onsite facilities including tennis, basketball and volleyball courts as well as the ‘Chickee Huts’ – thatched roof cabanas located on the beach.

With two Arnold Palmer designed golf courses intertwined through the natural landscape of cypress, pines and palms - Saddlebrook is both a picturesque and relaxing place to play golf.

Golf at Pebble Beach The selection of four courses includes Pebble Beach Golf Links™; one of the most distinguished PGA Tour courses having hosted the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for 67 years as well as five US Open Championships, most recently in 2010.

The small greens and narrow fairways can be demanding when the Pacific wind kicks and the par-4, 8th, 9th and 10th holes running along the rugged cliff line are considered the most difficult. It’s the par-5 18th that is perhaps the most scenic and well known hole at Pebble Beach as it dog-legs along the cliff edge.

Spyglass Hill™ Golf Course has an equally enviable reputation as one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour circuit. Watch out for the 6th, 8th and 16th holes!

The course takes its theme from Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island, and you’ll find references to this throughout with hole names including ‘Black Dog’, ‘Billy Bones’ and ‘Long John Silver’.

Don’t forget to ask us about flights!

Main Airports – Los Angeles, San Diego & San Francisco

San Diego San Diego is located on the Southern California Pacific Ocean coast, close to the Mexican border. The city is known for its mild year-round climate and extensive beaches, with the temperature in summer months averaging a pleasant 24 degrees with very little rainfall. San Diego is home to golf in every conceivable setting from oceanfront to desert and even mountain layouts. One of the most illustrious courses on the PGA Tour roster, Torrey Pines, headlines the region.

Westin Mission Hills

The Links at Spanish Bay™ was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum and is a direct homage to the traditional links courses found across Great Britain and Ireland. Bunkers of every imaginable shape and size provide great defence for the undulating greens. To top it all off, a bagpiper closes the course in true Scottish tradition every evening.

Heading inland, Del Monte™ Golf Course is the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River, having opened in 1897. A beautifully meandering layout, this course has challenged golfers for over a century and features wide fairways lined with oak, pine and cypress trees.

The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Accommodation

On arrival at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, you receive a truly special greeting as guests are welcomed by doormen attired in kilted Scottish Dress. Pure luxury at its finest, each room is superbly furnished, with first-class facilities. The South Course at Torrey Pines will be familiar for golfers as a US Open venue and regular host of PGA tournaments including the Buick International and the Farmers Insurance Open.

There are three accommodation options at Pebble Beach Resorts. Since 1919, The Lodge at Pebble Beach™ has delivered luxurious accommodation and excellent amenities. There are 161 rooms, all with a patio or balcony and stunning views of the gardens, oceanside fairways or spectacular sunsets over Stillwater Cove.

Alternatively, Casa Palmero™ presents a Mediterranean style offering 24 private rooms at the height of luxury. All guests can enjoy the luxurious living room, library, billiard room, heated outdoor pool and complimentary refreshments at the spacious bar and lounge in the main house. The hotel is set in a great location – overlooking the 1st and 2nd holes of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Don’t let the stunning ocean views distract you – the narrow fairways are lined with thick rough ready to punish any off-line shots. The North Course boasts a similarly breath-taking vista and is laid along a rugged and dramatic coastline utilising the deep ravines to create an unforgettable course layout.

There are great conditions for golf all year round and prices do not fluctuate much across the 12 months because of this. Spring and late autumn will generally be the best price before temperatures get too high. A US Open venue where Tiger Woods won in 2008 – what more can you say? A must-play when in San Diego.

California - Greater Palm Springs

California - Greater Palm Springs Greater Palm Springs

La Quinta Resort & Club and PGA West

One of the most popular stops on the PGA Tour, Greater Palm Springs is a truly idyllic place to stay and play golf. One hundred miles inland from Los Angeles the area is made up of 9 cities along the Coachella Valley, flanked by the breath-taking San Bernardino mountains to the north and Santa Rosa mountains of the south.

Both Mountain and Dunes Courses at La Quinta are the creations of master designer Pete Dye. Nestled amongst the stunning backdrop, The Mountain Course is renowned for its playability, pot bunkers and rock formations whilst the Dunes Course is a more traditional links format with a signature 17th hole to entice the longer hitters. The TPC Stadium Course at PGA West is perhaps the biggest pull as one of the Top 100 courses in the world.

It’s easy to see why this destination is favoured by the Hollywood stars, with its wonderful climate and plethora of activities to enjoy. For golfers it’s hard to beat as there are over 100 golf courses with La Quinta and PGA West boasting designs from the likes of Dye, Norman and Nicklaus. There is a wide choice of styles, ranging from your classic desert tracks to the more traditional parkland courses.

Off the course, La Quinta Resort and Club has been welcoming guests since 1926.

This desert retreat offers 5* accommodation in luxurious Spanish style casitas as well as outstanding facilities including a rejuvenating spa and world class chefs.

This desert oasis has a glorious climate with amazing weather all year round but the winter months offer ideal golfing conditions with the temperatures averaging 23-30°C. With luxury resorts and some great-value packages, a golf holiday in Greater Palm Springs is an experience to savour.

Pete Dye Mountain Course, La Quinta

The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa offers two fantastic golf courses: The Gary Player Signature course is integrated sympathetically into the desert landscape and has been praised for being well designed, difficult but a joy to play.

The Pete Dye Resort Course is beautiful but tough with rolling fairways and water hazards. There are four different tee boxes to choose from to suit all abilities.

Joe Dent, USA Sales Consultant Premium rates are generally between January and April but looking at early May or mid October through to December will allow you to pick up some great weather and good prices. Savings are even greater in the summer when temperatures are soaring but watch out because the weather is more poolside than greenside...

PGA West at La Quinta

JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort is set in a stunning location south-east of Palm Springs with views of the desert landscape and the breathtaking Santa Rosa Mountains.

All of the rooms at Desert Springs offer views of the pools or gardens. There is a huge selection of restaurants to choose from offering cuisine from around the world. Tennis, swimming and spa are available and make sure you enjoy a gondola tour of the waterways.

The resort boasts two 18-hole courses, the Palm and the Valley, both designed by Ted Robinson. At 6,761 yards the Palm is the longer of the two traversing around the hotel.

There is definitely a premium on accuracy over length and club selection will be key to scoring well. The signature hole has to be the par-3 17th; it requires a carry from the tee to an island green with stunning palm trees and waterfalls guarding the target.

The Valley Course is fairly compact and although slightly shorter than its sister course, it will test your game with some particularly tight holes. The par-4 16th is one of the best looking - it is a gentle dog-leg around a large lake that leads to a well-protected green with numerous pot bunkers.

The Players Course is a touch longer. A traditional American layout with well sculpted bunkering and generous fairways, the signature hole has to be the par-4 6th hole which dog-legs tightly round a lake, making club selection vital.

Main Airport – Las Vegas McCarran

Golf in Scottsdale TPC Scottsdale is a 36-hole venue with a formidable reputation. Few of America’s wonderful array of TPC courses are home to such drama and excitement as is played out on the Stadium course due to its fantastic 16th hole made famous as a 'fans favourite' of the Phoenix Open. It's a must play when golfing in Scottsdale.

On the Strip Las Vegas has no shortage of world famous hotels – The Bellagio, The Luxor and The MGM are renowned for luxury on a grand scale.

The new Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale has been designed to fit seamlessly into the natural desert terrain. Although lacking the reputation of the Stadium Course, this course still provides a formidable challenge to test your golfing skills.

With the Strip on your doorstep, you are right at the heart of the action here but don’t be distracted – there is a wealth of great golf to be had. The TPC Las Vegas is a gem of a golf course designed by acclaimed architects Bobby Weed and Raymond Floyd.

Troon North Golf Club is arguably the other big name in Scottsdale. It has two Weiskopf designed courses; both are visually stunning and will test your skills to the max. Some argue that the Monument Course is slightly more forgiving than its Sister course – The Pinnacle – but accuracy from the tee are consistent features across both with the desert scrub often coming into play.

It is a true test of shot-making skill and will challenge even the most seasoned of golfers. Bali Hai is a charming club with a tropical and desert style as well as quirky features including a par-3 island green and features amongst the Golf Digest Top 50 Resort Courses.

Accommodation The Boulders is a radiant oasis with luxury accommodation set in the breath-taking landscape of desert foothills with stunning views of Black Mountain. The North Course features 18 scenic holes surrounded by boulder formations, Sonoran Desert sunsets, and natural desert terrain. The Hotel Indigo is a new boutique hotel in downtown Scottsdale and offers a modern type of accommodation.

Alabama – Robert Trent Jones Trail

The Masters 2014

The Robert Trent Jones Trail

The Masters - 6th-14th April 2014

In the late 1980's Dr David Bonner had the idea of creating an enormous network of world class golf courses that would drive golf tourism to his beautifully landscaped home state of Alabama. Robert Trent Jones Snr, one of the premier architects of all time, jumped at the opportunity and together they set about completing what is now considered one of the most successful golf projects ever attempted.

Be part of the greatest tournament in golf – The Masters at Augusta National.

Travel to Georgia with Golfbreaks.com for an amazing experience amongst the dramatic dogwoods and stunning Azaleas of this truly special place.

The collection of 468 holes set on 11 different sites stretches across Alabama and is famously named after its designer - The Robert Trent Jones Trail. Each trail course takes advantage of the natural landscape ensuring a very different experience at each venue. The rolling hills of the North and the rivers and valleys of the South all play their part. Trent Jones had all golfers in mind during the design process and with as many as 12 different teeing areas at some of the courses you can match your tee box to your ability.

The Masters is a golf tournament like no other. Played out every April on Alister MacKenzie’s defining course design, the players lucky enough to be invited to take part compete not for money or ranking points, but for the glory of a Major win, membership of a very special club and the right to wear the coveted Green Jacket. Just the merest mention of Augusta National Golf Club is enough to send most golfers into a daze. From the brilliant white sand bunkers and emerald fairways to the banks of glorious azaleas behind iconic holes like 12 and 13, this former plant nursery is an explosion of colour.

Ross Bridge Golf Club

The proximity of the golf courses to the main route-ways is a huge benefit to the travelling golfer. There are different routes you can take during a week in the area - travel straight down the I-65 interstate and you will pick up 6 of the Trail courses. Others choose to loop from Atlanta to Anniston, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Auburn. Each way is within a 90 minute drive from Atlanta.

Many of the RTJ Trail sites are close to some fantastic resorts allowing you to stay and play your way through the state and giving you the option of taking a tour of the region or choosing a base to stay and play in one area.
