Here at GolfStayAndPlays.com, we are always on the lookout for great deals and experiences for our readers. Â
To celebrate that, we’ve created a series that focuses on packages that we think excel in these two areas. Here is a list of some upcoming deals that we have recently found that we thought you should consider for any future golf getaways:
Rams Hill Golf Club – Borrego Springs, California
There are golf trips you plan, and then there are golf trips that feel like you’ve uncovered something special. Rams Hill falls squarely into the latter category. Tucked deep into the Anza-Borrego Desert about 90 minutes from Palm Springs and just over that from San Diego, this Tom Fazio design is the definition of a hidden gem. The drive itself sets the tone, winding through stark desert terrain before the course reveals itself like an oasis. And when it does, it delivers one of the most visually arresting golf experiences in California.
The stay and play packages here lean into that sense of escape. Groups can stay in one of the on-property homes, which is ideal for buddy trips, where golf is just steps away and the secluded setting sets the tone for a great golf getaway.
What makes Rams Hill special is both the design and the setting as Fazio’s routing through the desert landscape that is surrounded by the mountainous backdrop creates an incredible sense of place as you also enjoy a beautiful, challenging test of golf. You’ll feel like you’ve uncovered one of the game’s biggest hidden secrets here and the truth is, you have.
Golf Packages here provide an exceptional value and vary depending on the season. If you’re looking for the ultimate value, Rams Hill is now open through the summer season, which just started in 2025, and the rates during this window are amazing but honestly, any time of year is a great deal when it comes to Rams Hill.
Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort – Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas golf often gets associated with courses squeezed between either resorts or real estate. Paiute is the antidote. Located about 25 minutes northwest of the Strip, this is pure desert golf that features a wide open, dramatic, and peaceful setting away from the spoils of Sin City.
At the center of it all are three Pete Dye-designed championship courses with Snow Mountain, Sun Mountain, and The Wolf. Each has its own personality, but they all share the hallmarks of Dye’s designs with bold shaping, strategic bunkering, and visually intimidating tee shots.Â
The Wolf stretches out to over 7,600 yards and is considered by many to be the headline act, featuring one of the most memorable island greens in the region. Snow Mountain offers a more balanced test with water in play on multiple holes, and Sun Mountain is often considered the most scenic routing while also being the most playable.
When it comes to finding value in Vegas, Paiute excels as their daily golf rates are better than most especially given the quality of golf. For traveling golfers, they offer a great value package known as their GOLFaPalooza special that includes 2 rounds of golf per day, lunch, and 50% off golf club rentals that is available most of the year. It doesn’t require any kind of stay and package, so you can choose the best location for your trip and still take advantage of this great offer to enjoy some of the best golf in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort
Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa – Amelia Island, Florida
Set on more than 1,300 acres along Florida’s northeast coast, Omni Amelia Island combines oceanfront luxury with multiple golf courses to give you everything you need on a golf trip. The resort is beautiful, and the natural setting of the tree lined roads and paths that lead you to the resort set the vibe for the relaxing getaway you’ve been looking for. The golf experience continues to blow away golfers, and those routings include Beau Welling’s recently renovated Pete Dye design known as Oak Marsh. As you’ll see in our exclusive drone footage, they have completely elevated the experience here and the redesign was done to perfection.
In addition to Oak Marsh, the Omni also offers one of the game’s best short courses with Little Sandy. This fun little 9-holer is playable for new golfers as well as challenging for better players who want to take on the multiple hazards you’ll encounter throughout the round as you’ll see here.Â
The Omni Amelia Island always has great offers available as you’ll see here, but the current package here we love is the Three Tees Getaway that will get you on both Oak Marsh and Little Sandy as well as their most private golf club, Long Point. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the best of what the Omni Amelia island has to offer.
