The Best Golf Courses At U.S. Ski Resorts For A Perfect Summer Escape

The Best Golf Courses At U.S. Ski Resorts For A Perfect Summer Escape argues that golfers can find strong value and scenery at ski resorts even in summer, when daylight peaks. The article says summer began at 4:24 EDT and that golf at ski resorts often serves as an ancillary business, helping subsidize year-round staff and overhead, which can make it a relative bargain compared with standalone courses during summer’s high season. It emphasizes that resorts typically offer restaurants and additional activities such as hiking, mountain biking, tennis, and scenic gondola and chairlift rides, and notes some destinations with dedicated golf schools. It also cites golf travel expert Jason Scott Deegan, who has played more than 1,200 courses in 28 countries and highlights Colorado, northern Michigan, and the Lake Tahoe region. The piece cautions that some “golf resorts with skiing” remain summer-centric and therefore may not deliver the same value. It also warns that many famous U.S. ski resorts are held back by low-quality “afterthought” courses that were added later after ski real-estate trends shifted.
