Fall Golf Travel in the Northeast USA 2008

Golf Resorts Offer End of the Season Deals

Sep 15, 2008 Dee Dee Smith

The end of golf season in the northeast is quickly approaching. Golf enthusiasts on the east coast should explore some of these great golf packages.

Golfing is a favorite activity on the north east coast; but because of changes in the weather, the golf season is pretty short. Golf courses/resorts in the area typically open in early April and close sometime in October. Nonetheless, the cool weather in late September early October leaves many resorts struggling for golfers. To try and boost business, many of the resorts offer great end of the season packages and deals.
