The Season Begins!

Wow, what an extremely busy off-season it has been at GolfWisconsin.com and our family of websites. First of all, we have acquired ChicagoGolf.com and GolfMissouri.com, which we believe are great additions to GolfTrips.com network.

Also, we rejuvenated the Milwaukee Golf Circle Map and renamed it The Brew City Golf Trail Map. Hopefully, you picked up a map at the Milwaukee Golf Show and stopped by and said hello. For more information on this companion project, visit BrewCityGolfTrail.com.

We have also done a lot to change the look and feel of our home page, including adding larger pictures and more interactive features including detailed maps. Our extremely popular Coupon Section will be back for 2009, although we will be renaming it shortly to the Promotions Section.

We are pleased to announce that for the first time in the history of GolfWisconsin.com we had over 1 million visitors in 2008! Thank you for making GolfWisconsin.com your link to all things golf in the Badger State!

Red Rock Golf Trail in Utah an Underrated Gem

In a world built on convenience products like cell phones, microwaves, and laptops, I'm convinced the number one way to save time and money when planning a golf trip is to head to one of the nation's golf trails. The premise is simple - combine multiple courses in a concentrated area, then partner with local lodging options to sweeten the Stay and Play experience. But every once in awhile a golf trail goes above and beyond this tried and true formula and exceeds all expectations. Such is the case with the pride of southwestern Utah, the Red Rock Golf Trail in St. George, an underrated year-round must play extravaganza.

Founded in 2004, The Red Rock Golf Trail features nine courses within a 25 mile radius, including rookie of the year candidate Sand Hollow Resort, a 27 hole John Fought design. If you thought the original eight courses were jaw-droppers, wait until you play this rock-laden masterpiece.

The key to the Red Rock Golf Trail's rousing success is three-fold. First, St. George, Utah is only an hour and a half northeast of Las Vegas and roughly the same time by plane from Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. Secondly, it appears a high pressure front has permanently stalled over the area as St. George is known for beautiful sun and little wind over 300 days a year. And last, but never least, the Red Rock Golf Trail is the ultimate combination of affordability and playability. Starting at $465 for a 5 night/5 round package, you'll be hard pressed to find another trail that offers 5 days of fun for less than $100 per day.
