Free, unlimited golf at Sea Island Golf Club now through March 7.
Last week, we told you how you can score a free round of golf at the Links at Spanish Bay while on a Pebble Beach golf vacation (see our Jan. 15 post). Today, we’re going to tell you how to play free golf during your entire stay at the Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club, the much acclaimed resort off the coast of Georgia.
The very comfortable Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club is offering “Lodge Winter Golf Packages” starting at $375 per night ($450 for double occupancy) that include free, unlimited golf on its premier Seaside Course (a Colt/Alison design, Tom Fazio redesign) and Plantation Course (Walter Travis design, Rees Jones redesign).

The Partridge Inn may be your best bet on an Augusta, Georgia golf vacation.
If this year’s Masters tournament inspires you to plan an Augusta, Georgia golf vacation in the future, keep in mind that all of the area’s accommodations are not created equal.
Practically every discount hotel chain in America is represented on Washington Road, the surprisingly garish and tacky strip that runs right past the gates of Augusta National Golf Club, which is buffered from the honky-tonk with trees, shrubs and thick clumps of bamboo.
If saving money is your main concern, one of these McMotels might work for you. But if you want to stay in one of the most comfortable and hospitable places on your Augusta, Georgia golf vacation, book at room at The Partridge Inn, a 19th century hotel on a hill in Summerville, Augusta’s intriguing historic district.

Jones Creek has some narrow driving lanes, just like another nearby course you'd know.
Few of us will ever have the chance to play “at” Augusta, like those competing in The Masters this week, but anyone can play “in” Augusta while attending the tournament or taking a Georgia golf vacation.
There are a few good public courses just over the border in South Carolina, but if you want to play quality golf on authentic, Augusta, Ga., turf, Jones Creek Golf Club, located only a few miles from Augusta National, should be on the top of your list. Read more →
Brokers have plenty of Masters badges for "rent."
The Masters is coming up, but all the talk about how hard it is to attend the tournament is enough to discourage most golfers from even trying. That would be a mistake. While it’s not as simple as calling a ticket office like you can with other tournaments, the Web has made it almost as effortless.
First of all, when most people refer to Masters tickets, they really mean “Tournament” or “Series” badges, which grant access to the official competitive rounds from Thursday through Sunday. Tickets to the practice rounds are a lot easier to come by, but if we were going to the trouble of organizing a golf vacation to see golf’s masters, we’d want to see them play, not practice.
