It’s Almost Fall—Time to Plan a Fall Golf Vacation

Well it may not officially be fall yet, but we are back into the swing of fall activities at home: school is underway, fall shopping has been done, extracurricular activities are starting up, and I am already exhausted. It’s now time to think about a fall getaway with my better half—and I think it’s going to have to be a golf vacation in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.

Fall on the Gulf is such an ideal time for golf, and it’s so easy to plan a golf getaway thanks to Gulf Shores Plantation’s golf vacation packages. Gulf-front accommodations and a choice of nine signature golf courses—what’s not to love? And of these nine courses, one of my all-time favorites (Kiva Dunes) is located right next door to Gulf Shores Plantation. Step out of the condo (maybe spend a little time on the resort’s putting green) and you’re basically there. It’s the type of convenience I love.

And here’s why fall is such a perfect time for a Gulf golf vacation: the weather is comfortably cooler but still warm enough to enjoy Plantation amenities like the six outdoor pools (and one indoor pool, in case of rain or unusually cool weather). It’s also ideal for enjoying some Gulf Shores nature attractions—a round of golf in the morning followed by a bike ride on a Gulf Coast nature trail can be quite an invigorating experience!
