Golf Vacation Destinations with Awesome Non-Golf Activities

If you’re planning a golf vacation, you obviously love golf. However, if you’re like most healthy, well-balanced individuals, you don’t eat, sleep and breathe the sport! So today we are looking at some awesome worldwide destinations with well-known activities other than golf for your vacation! We'll check out some top courses in each city to create a perfect golf vacation, but also the other local attractions.
Maui Golf Vacations
Head to Maui for your golf vacation, and you'll not only get access to some very picturesque courses and beautiful weather, you can learn to surf when you aren't teeing off. There are plenty of beginner surfing schools in Maui, and the break is quite gentle. Most surfing schools guarantee you'll stand up the first lesson you take!
Golf wise, you must check out Kapalua Plantation and Wailea - Old Blue Course on your golf trip to Maui.
Las Vegas Golf Vacations
The golf courses aren’t the main reason that most tourists come to Vegas ... so the alternative activities are pretty obvious! Aside from laying down all your money at the craps table, the roulette wheel or on a poker hand, Vegas also has hiking and climbing, skydiving, ballooning, zoos and auto racing to enjoy, among other things.
Check out courses like Desert Pines and Rever at Anthem/Concord to keep it a golf vacation.
Costa del Sol Golf Vacations
For some, there is no better golf vacation destination than Costa Del Sol in Spain. Beautiful weather and stunning clear oceans make scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing and water skiing popular. You can also go on Jeep safari tours when you aren't debating the pros and cons of iron over wood.
Hot courses in Costa del Sol include Los Naranjos, Rio Real, and Valderrama.
Ediburgh Golf Vacations
If music as well as golf is a passion of yours, then take your golf vacation at the time of the Ediburgh Festival, a week-long music event. There are also plenty of theaters, great shopping and heritage buildings and areas to take in.
Edinburgh's finest in terms of golf includes Blairgowrie, Dunbar and Gleneagles, all must-plays on a golf vacation.
