Golf & Ski Vacations

Many travelers want nothing more than to spend their vacation time on the greens or on the slopes, and plan trips around new challenges, award-winning spots, stunning views or off-season practice.

Some of the most coveted golf getaways in the U.S. are in warm-weather spots like Palm Springs, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Phoenix, Southern California -- and these locations can charge a premium for prime tee times, especially in spring and summer. Many famous courses or top-ranked ones are attached to luxurious resorts, which cater to the non-golfers in your group with high-end dining, shopping and spas. To save money, consider booking your trip in shoulder season (the times around peak season) or book your tee times for twilight hours.

From coast to coast, the states prove great ski options from Lake Tahoe, Aspen, Vail, Park City and Breckenridge in the West to Killington, Jay Peak, Loon Mountain, Stowe and Bretton Woods in the East. But options in North America don’t stop there, many U.S. snow enthusiasts like to look north for deals across Canada, where great rates can be found, even in peak season. Ways to save money include flying into smaller regional airports, minimizing bag fees by renting equipment at your destination and renting in advance.
