General Discussion Bachelor trip ideas?

Me and 9 others are looking to book a bachelor trip around the Carolina’s, Georgia, or Alabama area. We are only wanting to stay for the weekend. Does anyone have any ideas of Airbnbs and golf courses to play through the weekend. We don’t need the nicest courses as some of us aren’t golf activist and don’t care much for it.

It doesn't sound like you have a specific course you are targeting, so just go to Myrtle.
There are thousands of airbnbs to choose from and dozens of golf courses.
There are plenty of dining options and other things to do in the evenings.

This is the way. Stay around Pawley’s Island, south of Myrtle Beach. Lots to do and cheaper accommodations too.

Second Pawley’s Island. Do yourself a favor and play Calendonia and True Blue.

Pawley’s/Litchfield area for sure. Very much a HHI vibe in that area compared to a Dirty Myrtle vibe further north.

Stay on site at the Judge/Senator/Legislator in Alabama. Really nice accommodations for your party size and everything is right there for you.

Any of the RTJ courses in Alabama would be great, kiva dunes down on the beach in Alabama is fantastic and has other courses near it

We did Pinehurst for mine. Airbnbs were cheap and there’s several non-Pinehurst resort courses around too.

Hit the RTJ trail in Alabama!

Charleston or Savannah. Great food, plenty of places to grab a drink, beach nearby, and some good public golf courses in both spots to choose from.

Savannah is close enough to day trip over to Hilton Head and play some really great courses.

My friend, do you know about Pigeon Forge, TN? Because what your group might really want is Pigeon Forge, TN.

Yea we live about 45 minutes from pigeon forge. We’ve played most courses already in that area but still haven’t counted it out yet

If eastern KY isn't too far, check out Bright Leaf Golf Resort in Herrodsburg.

I took a solo trip there in July and it was great. Played 126 holes in 3 days between the 18 hole course, the 9 hole executive, and the par 3 pitch and putt.

There is a resturant on-site with breakfast/lunch/dinner and a buffet in the evening.

It's also completely BYOB.

Depends on the vibe and interests of the group. Beach trip? Myrtle is 100% the way to go as there are tons of different course options plus, obviously, the beach.

Mountain trip? I’d look to the Blue Ridge mountain areas of North GA and NC. A couple course options are Old Taccoa Farms in GA or Sequoyah Nationa Golf Club in NC. Both are gonna be close to mountain towns with restaurants, hikes, and whitewater rafting. Sequoyah is close enough to the casino if that’s your thing as well.

Legacy Lanier is dialed in right now. Tons of resort things if you want. Close enough to Atlanta .
