My wife has offered to send me off for a golf getaway for my birthday this year.
I live in Sarasota so it's coming into prime golf season and there are plenty of options down this way, but my gut tells me to get away and play somewhere I wouldn't normally have the chance to play.
I'd be looking for a place with on site lodging, multiple courses, and within a couple hours drive from an airport.
My problem is that the places I'd really want to go, it's either out of season or just too difficult to travel to (Bandon, Monterey are the two ideal locales) within a 3-4 day window.
I've looked around for places in Texas, gulf coast area, some others, just haven't found one that sticks for one reason or another.
Lately I've been thinking about Streamsong more, even though it's close so I "could" play it whenever I wanted, even though I haven't. They have pretty appealing "holiday" rates from mid November through December, so it would definitely be cheaper, not counting that it's a 45 minute or hour drive so no flight necessary. For those who have been, is Streamsong a place I would definitely consider if it weren't so accessible already? I feel like I'd be cheating myself out of a chance to play somewhere else when I could just come back to Streamsong and play for cheap in the summer.
Any other places I should consider? Weather is not a primary concern, as long as the place is open, I don't care about cold/rain etc.
Thanks in advance!
