Borth & Ynyslas is one of the fine courses you can play on a discount golf vacation in Wales.
The weak US Dollar has sent the price of U.K and Ireland golf vacations soaring to as much as $400-$500 per round at top courses. But value or even “discount” golf vacations in the U.K. are still possible, and my colleagues at Golf Odyssey recently uncovered a great option: Mid-Wales, where green fees at some of the best golf courses cost less than $70.
Golf vacations in Wales aren’t nearly as popular as neighboring U.K. and Ireland destinations, but you can bet interest is going to greatly intensify during the lead-up to, and following, its hosting of the Ryder Cup in 2010. To be sure, if golf vacation destinations were stocks, the smart money would be buying Wales. Consider this your chance to get in on the ground floor.
It’s true that the best golf courses in Wales are located in its North and South regions, but those seeking the ultimate discount golf vacations in Wales should head for its Mid section, where tee times are readily available at its 27 courses and the green fees are by far the lowest. Those seeking family golf vacations may find Mid-Wales particularly appealing, as its golf courses are consistently shorter than average and thus more manageable for women, kids, and seniors.
