Top Golf Destinations Perfect for Guys’ Weekends

A golf trip with your crew is more than just fairways and scorecards. It’s about laughs at the tee box, friendly bets, and those “remember when” stories that stick well after the last putt drops. The best destinations offer not only great golf but also affordable rates, cold brews nearby, and plenty of fun off the course. With Plymouth Rock Travel Partners (PRTP) memberships, you’ll find special deals that make legendary guys’ weekends totally doable on a budget.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Legends and Links for Less

Myrtle Beach is a true favorite for groups, and for good reason. The area packs over 80 public courses, so there’s a perfect match for every skill level and budget. It’s famous for value-packed packages, offering green fee bundles, replay rates, and access to classic courses like The Dunes Golf and Beach Club or Barefoot Resort. In the evening, the lively boardwalk and oceanside bars invite the group to swap golf stories over local craft beers. PRTP members can often score exclusive deals, sweetening the pot on already low prices.

Scottsdale, Arizona: Sun, Scenery, and Serious Savings

If predictable weather is key, head straight for the sun in Scottsdale. The desert backdrop frames championship courses including TPC Scottsdale and Troon North, but there are also plenty of wallet-friendly options nearby. While luxury layouts beckon, smart groups look for twilight rates and group discounts often available for PRTP members. Scottsdale’s downtown scene delivers a range of breweries, taco joints, and laid-back lounges for post-round relaxation.

Orlando, Florida: Hidden Gems With Extra Perks

Orlando is more than just mouse ears and roller coasters. For guys’ golf weekends, it offers stunning yet affordable courses from the famous Shingle Creek Golf Club to Rosen’s Orange County National. Many resorts offer stay-and-play deals, plus hassle-free transportation to nightlife and breweries. Off the course, challenge your crew to mini-golf at CityWalk for a serious laugh. For even more activity ideas, the list of unique things to do in Orlando besides theme parks has you covered.

Pinehurst, North Carolina: Legendary Fairways on a Budget

Pinehurst is golf’s equivalent of a classic rock playlist—timeless and never disappointing. While the famous No. 2 course is a bucket-list stop, Pinehurst’s area offers dozens of other stellar (and more affordable) tracks. Look out for shoulder season pricing and last-minute weekend specials tacked on for PRTP members. Plus, the genuine Southern hospitality and craft beer scene are almost as good as the golf.

Sip and Savor: Brewery Tours and Local Brews

Every guys’ weekend needs a proper round of brews and good cheer. Sharing a pint after golf or discovering what’s on tap at a local brewpub adds a signature flavor to your trip. Whether your group likes bold IPAs, smooth lagers, or experimental sours, there’s no shortage of breweries ready to welcome you in for tastings, behind-the-scenes tours, and laid-back hangouts.

Affordable Brewery Tours for Every Budget

You don’t have to spend big to sample great beers or enjoy a unique experience with your group. Many brewery tours are either free or offered at a low cost, with glassware or small bites included. Some spots even provide a “flight” for sharing so your crew can sample several styles at once.

When planning with a group, look for:

  • Early afternoon tours, which usually cost less and offer more space
  • Breweries with partnerships or deals tied to PRTP memberships that may include extra pours or discounts
  • Locations near public transport or close to your main activities for easy logistics

Top Destinations with Standout Local Breweries

Some cities are famous for their brewery scenes, each bringing its own personality and vibe. Here are a few worth adding to your list:

  • Myrtle Beach, SC: Options like Grand Strand Brewing and New South Brewing have chill taprooms with outdoor patios, plus rotating food trucks.
  • Scottsdale, AZ: Try Fate Brewing or Goldwater Brewing for creative desert-inspired ales. Many offer trivia nights or live music—perfect for evening downtime.
  • Orlando, FL: With nearly three dozen breweries, from Ivanhoe Park to Crooked Can, Orlando’s scene is a playground for craft lovers.
  • Pinehurst, NC: Try Railhouse Brewery for local pours, or hit southern-inspired taprooms filling up fast after a day on the greens.

Breweries with Games, Food, and More

Many modern breweries are more than taprooms. They’re group hangouts with board games, shuffleboard, patios, and food trucks. Look for those extras that stretch your dollar further and let everyone stay entertained well into the night.

Some brewery favorites often include:

  • Outdoor seating and yard games
  • Rotating menus from local food trucks or in-house kitchens
  • Themed events and live music on weekends

If you want to start building your own brewery crawl, check out city guides like Travel + Leisure’s picks for top U.S. brewery towns or browse local festival calendars for group-friendly beer events.

How PRTP Memberships Help You Sip and Save

PRTP memberships can help turn an ordinary brewery tour into a budget-friendly adventure. Members often enjoy:

  • Discounted tour tickets or two-for-one tastings
  • Complimentary group flights or brewery swag
  • Exclusive access to private event rooms

Consider mapping out your brewery stops in advance. Pair your tasting stops with nearby golf courses or outdoor activities so the group is always just steps away from the next round or bite.

Making brewery tours part of your guys’ weekend blends great beer, good food, and relaxed moments together—without putting stress on your wallet. It’s not just about the pints. It’s about sharing stories and coming home with new favorites to hunt down next round.

Outdoor Adventures That Won’t Drain Your Wallet

Every guys’ weekend deserves a taste of fresh air and friendly competition outside the brewery and beyond the golf green. Outdoor adventures don’t have to mean big price tags or complicated gear rentals. With a little planning and the right membership perks, you can grab your crew and make memories that are high on fun and low on cost.

Group Hikes, Waterways, and Trail Action

One of the easiest ways to add adventure to any trip is by hitting a local trailhead with your crew. National, state, and county parks often have miles of hiking trails that are free or just a few dollars for parking. Toss in some snacks and explore a wooded path or waterfall route, swapping stories and building up an appetite for the evening.

If hiking isn’t your thing, look for budget-friendly activities like:

  • Bike rentals on rail trails or greenways for a relaxed cruise
  • Disc golf courses, which are often free and keep the competitive spirit alive
  • Public lakes or rivers for swimming, fishing, or bringing your own kayaks for a paddle

Some parks and recreation areas offer rental gear at prices much lower than commercial outfitters. With PRTP memberships, some destinations unlock discounts on group activities, guided eco-tours, or equipment rentals.

Stretch Your Trip Budget: PRTP Membership Savings Tips

When you’re planning a guys’ weekend, nothing beats the feeling of stretching every dollar so the whole crew can do more. PRTP memberships turn good trips into great ones, unlocking hidden savings on everything from tee times and brewery flights to hotel rates and group adventures. Think of your membership as your backstage pass to exclusive offers that let your budget go further, while your fun keeps rolling.

Find the Best Group Deals

Traveling with friends means group rates should always be part of your strategy. PRTP membership opens access to bundled packages and special pricing at popular destinations. Whether you want to book an entire condo on the green or reserve blocks of brewery tour tickets, using these deals can save you a chunk of change.

Keep an eye out for:

  • Discounted green fees for groups at championship courses
  • Multi-room suites or vacation rentals with built-in amenities
  • Brewery tour packages that include tastings and take-home swag

Those little savings add up quickly, letting you splurge on the experiences that matter most.

Unlock Exclusive Perks and Value-Adds

Plymouth Rock Travel members often get more than just standard discounts. Many preferred properties and experiences tack on extra perks for members—think welcome gifts, priority tee times, or late checkout.

Here’s how these upgrades can benefit your crew:

  • Early booking access: Secure the best tee times before they fill up
  • Food and beverage credits: Enjoy dinner, drinks, or snacks included with stays
  • Complimentary gear rentals: Save on golf clubs, bikes, or outdoor equipment for impromptu adventures

Maximizing these value-adds means less time budgeting and more time relaxing.

Compare and Stack Savings

A smart weekend planner checks for ways to stack savings. If your group is all-in on golf, use PRTP’s preferred tee time rates, then look for twilight or weekday booking discounts for even better prices. Booking off-peak can make luxury affordable when you share costs among the group.

A sample comparison for stretching your trip budget:

Plan for Hidden Savings

The more you plan together, the more hidden savings you’ll uncover. Some PRTP memberships unlock personal travel advisors or digital platforms highlighting member-only flash deals. Early birds and last-minute bookers alike can often find nightly rate drops or exclusive activity discounts unavailable elsewhere.

Stay flexible and keep an eye on your member dashboard before locking in activities. Some deals even offer risk-free booking or free cancellation, which is perfect for groups where plans change fast.

Making the most of PRTP savings turns budget-friendly weekends into unforgettable getaways. When you use your membership perks wisely, everybody goes home with cash in their pocket and stories for the next round.

Conclusion

Great memories are built on great golf courses, fresh local beer, and time outdoors—all without blowing your budget. With the right planning and a Plymouth Rock travel membership, those classic guys’ weekend dreams become reality.

Whether you want to tee off somewhere new, explore a top brewery town, or head into the great outdoors with budget-friendly hikes and activities via AllTrails, you’ll find more value and fewer restrictions when you plan smart.
