Holiday Weekend Golf Specials
All watch and no play is no fun for golfers... so in addition to taking in the AT&T National at Aronimink you're no doubt making plans to whack the little white ball around this weekend. Here is a sampling of the deals we've found poking around the web:
Bella Vista (see photo) has July Early Bird specials...and tomorrow morning before 8am, you can play for $42 including cart. Seniors take $5 off that rate.
Friday night will be busy at Honeybrook Golf Club. First, a Couple's Night Scramble will kick off at 6pm. Cost is $55 non-member couple and $30 for member couple. Then, venture out after dark for a few holes of Glow Ball ( $20 pp non-member or $15 pp for members). You're asked to call the golf shop to register at 610-273-0207. There's aloso live music on the patio from 7pm to 9pm.
If you're at or near the shore...you can play Vineyard Golf at Renault on Monday the 4th for just $49 after noon. On July 5 - 7, rates are $69 any time. You need to mention the special email rate when you call the pro shop.
July 2nd through 4th at Ballamor you can play after noon for $70 including cart. The rate is $65 at its sister course, Scotland Run.
.
Special holiday rates at Back Creek: Sunday and Monday afternoon - $45 includes green fee, cart and an "all american lunch" with a cheeseburger, potato salad and cole slaw.
As far as golf gear goes, the online retailers have been in a frenzy for the past week figuring out various sale angles to get you to stop by their websites. There are many 15% to 25% off deals, which are not gotta-have-it-no-brainers but are well worth it if you're shopping for something anyway. You can check them all out at the Deal Tracker Golf link below.
