Fairmont treats golf travelers with new golf packages & warm climates

Swing into Spring

With a spate of winter storms bringing frigid weather all across North America over the past several weeks, golf travelers in the US and Canada no doubt will be looking forward to sunny skies and warmer temperatures come springtime. Though still some weeks away, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has just unveiled a host of attractive golf vacation getaways designed to kick the winter doldrums to the curb by helping guests swing into spring.

For example, the AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Mayakoba, located near Cancun, Mexico in the breathtaking Riviera Maya, is offering guests the opportunity to indulge in two passions with its Golf & Spa package. The package includes luxury accommodations plus one round of golf at El Camaleon Golf Club, host site of the PGA TOUR’s OHL Classic, or a $100 credit to Fairmont Mayakoba’s acclaimed Willow Stream Spa. The lush beach resort also offers a host of unique amenities and services on property including complementary use of bicycles to explore the expansive properties, guided catamaran tours, bird-watching, tennis and paddle courts, and other enjoyable outdoor fun. Rates start at $480 USD per night based on double occupancy.

To nearly guarantee a fun-in-the-sun excursion, look no further than the celebrated Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. This AAA/CAA Five-Diamond recipient rests in the heart of Scottsdale’s exquisite Sonoran Desert with carefree access to host nightlife, shopping, dining and world-class golf options. The resort’s popular Championship Golf package gives guests the opportunity to test their skills against Scottsdale’s current and former PGA TOUR host sites – the newly remodeled TPC Scottsdale Stadium Course (host of the Waste Management Phoenix Open) and Grayhawk Golf Club (former host site of the Frys.com Open). The package includes accommodations, one round of golf per adult guest per paid night at any of the resort’s four preferred courses, complimentary use of the practice facility prior to golf, complimentary transportation to and from the golf club and complimentary assistance from the resort’s golf concierge. Rates are based on season and availability.

For a limited time, The Fairmont St Andrews, a 5-star cliff-top resort, in St Andrews, Scotland, the Home of Golf, is offering guests the chance to walk the fairways of St Andrews’ cherished Old Course BEFORE a champion is crowned at the 2015 Open Championship.

Until March 31st, 2015, guests of Fairmont St Andrews may select the resort’s Winter Golf Package which includes a guaranteed tee time on the Old Course; as well as two additional rounds of golf on the St Andrews Links Trust courses and two nights’ luxury accommodations at the resort and a full Scottish breakfast each morning in The Squire Restaurant with rates starting at just £249 per person. Guests also may arrange for an additional round of golf on either of the Fairmont St Andrews two courses, The Torrance (former host of Open Championship Qualifying) and the Kittocks, from just £40 per person.
