Aviara is one of the Four Seasons properties offering luxury golf vacations for less.
How much pressure is the weak economy putting on the golf vacation and hospitality industries?
Well, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, which often touts the fact that it doesn’t engage in discounting its rooms, has announced a buy-two-nights, get-one-free “special” at nearly 35 of its properties worldwide (from now through April 1, 2009).
They can call it whatever they want. I call it a perfect opportunity for a little luxury golf vacation for less.
Here are the Four Seasons properties that are offering the discount special AND have golf on site or maintain special arrangements with courses nearby:
- San Diego — Aviara (golf on site)
- Dallas (golf on site)
- Las Vegas (golf nearby)
- Santa Barbara (golf nearby)
