Before you embark on your summer resort vacation, there are a few things to remember to grab. Check with your resort to see what amenities they offer and what kinds of additional items they have available for guest use before you leave. Make sure you know what kind of activities they have available and pack things that will ensure fun for you and your family.

If you are planning on spending time outdoors, don’t forget to pack some sunscreen. No one wants their vacation ruined by a nasty sunburn the first day, so take the necessary steps to prevent it. Make sure that you don’t forget your bathing suit. Most resorts have direct access to a lake and many have indoor and outdoor pools too, so forgetting your bathing suit might leave you out of a few really fun activities.

Check with your resort and see if they have any biking or walking trails. If they do have trails, make sure they have bikes available for rent or customer use. Rather than packing your family’s bikes up, it might be easier if you just rent bikes from your resort. Many resorts also have golf courses on their land or close by. For those members of your family that might enjoy a round of golf, bring along their clubs so they can enjoy teeing off at the resort. Read the rest of this entry »

Some of the Top Golf Resorts in the United States are out West in California and Arizona.

This provides a wonderful opportunity to get away from the crowds and enjoy the top Arizona Golf Courses.

Indeed, I hear the Trillium is quite spectacular, and of course those gold courses in Scottsdale Arizona and there must be 50 or so nearby are truly magnificent. The landscapes stunning with wildlife watching you play as you go. Road runners, rabbits, and hawks souring above; and I am not sure where they find all those picture perfect Socorro Cactus (the Arizona Official Tree, protected by law) but they sure make for a postcard’esque digital picture as you look to eagle your next hole.

And if you love the desert landscape then you’ll love the Palm Springs Golf Resorts and adjacent cities such as; La Quinta, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and Rancho Mirage.
