Golfers are an addicted lot. They always look for dream golf destinations as getaways from their dreary routines.

To satisfy golfers, tour operators offer some of the finest locations with the best possible golf packages.

Canada no doubt has thrilling destinations with exciting golf facilities. Examples are aplenty.

Mount-Tremblant in Quebec, one of Canada’s very popular mountain locations, offers signature experiences for skiers as well as golfers.

Then you have Ontario’s Muskoka region just two hours north of Toronto, a destination that has fascinated discerning golfers with its gorgeous lakes.

Golf links at Crowbush Cove are considered among the most demanding golf courses on Prince Edward Island, having a beautiful pastoral landscape.

For golfers remote is a luxury. Why else would anyone find Nova Scotia a compelling golf destination? This second smallest province in Canada has Cabot Links where the holes spread out between the village of Inverness and the sea.

A tourist was ecstatic when he described the setting. “Here every hole offers an ocean view”. ...

As one seasoned golf traveler said, “I love remote places, something different from say Toronto Golf Club. Non-familiarity breeds mystique. The more isolated a place is, the more I buy into it”.

Does this give an interesting insight into golfers’ minds?

Golf is a game of self-assurance and proficiency. Golfers do not like being intimidated by situations, places and yes, even by economic slowdowns. This explains why despite recessions caused by global economic slowdowns, golf tourism has been relatively resilient.

The demand for serene and off the beaten track golf courses has always been robust. And luckily, for golfers, many idyllic locations offer great golf destinations with top class public access and stay-and-play golf courses.

All golfers are different individuals with varying tastes. How do they assess golf resorts?

Golf Packages providers have noted that all of them have some commonalities in likings.

All golfers measure up the following:

• Attributes, upkeep, and history of golf courses

• Excellence, lavishness, and comfort of accommodation

• Quality of food and drink available

• Value and worth of other facilities nearby

Not surprisingly, most tour operators focus on the above features while designing golf packages.

Players naturally want something more than the same 18- holes course back at their homes. They yearn for a breakaway from their normal clubhouse and want to disappear among gorgeous greens, with exotic mountain views and ocean beaches.

The very act of choosing from a variety of golf packages is in itself thrilling. And fortunately, the internet has made this a simple and enjoyable task.

It is fun exploring great destinations in Canada, Mexico, in the United States, and in the Caribbean - and not to mention world class facilities in Europe and the Far East.

With feature photos, interactive maps, descriptions, and prices it is easy to choose a destination based on one’s budget. Many operators offer discount packages even with customers selecting their own destinations.

Yet, there is a caveat. The real conditions may not mimic the gloss displayed on the website. The best course is to pick up a phone and ask someone, preferably a shopkeeper out there, how things are going.

GolfNorth Properties, the leading Canadian operator of successful semi private and public golf courses offers attractive golf packages at exciting golf facilities, including at Toronto Golf Club.
