I've reached out to some of the golfers already, and I've got a line on a package deal for a small group. Maybe eight golfers to make up a couple of foursomes.
The Pinehurst Summer Tee seems to be best deal for what I've got in mind. I've tried to do a hyper link, but it won't work for some reason. Anyway, here is the address and an outline of the package.
http://www.pinehurst.com/golf-vacation-packages.php
* Three nights accommodations
* Dinner, beginning on day of arrival
*Breakfast, through day of departure
*1 round of golf per day - four rounds (upgrade to No. 2 for an additional $175)
* Cart, club storage and sleeve of Titleist golf balls
* Afternoon tea, biking, outdoor pools & Beach Club, and fitness center
* Children 12 and under stay and eat free with paying adult. Children 17 and under play golf for free with paying adult, except Pinehurst No. 2-$215 junior fee applies.
Pricing: The Manor is the least expensive at $860 per person based on double occupancy.If you delete dinner from this package, the price drops to $750.
Prices go up from there:
Now, here's the hard part. Just about all the golfers have shown an interest in doing this. But as always, schedules are the issue.
So, here is a list of date ranges. The Summer Tee package ends Sept. 7. From what people have said, No. 2 is a must, so these dates include an option to play No. 2.
July 24-27
Aug. 2-5
Aug. 5-8
Aug. 26-29
These dates can be tweaked so if anyone has any ideas or other options, please let me know.
My vision is to have some type of Ryder Cup-type format with prizes and a trophy. I'll be a little more organized than I was at the golf outing in Florida.
Hope this works, and let me know if anyone has any questions.
