Have a Golf Getaway Weekend for Your Bachelor Party

Planning for a bachelor party is always tough. Everybody has ideas about what you should do and where you should go. And many times, you listen to someone else's idea and wind up doing something you didn't want to do in the first place. It doesn't have to be that way. You can plan on doing something that is fun for you and for your guests as well. If you’re a fan of golf, have a golf getaway weekend! Even if some of your groomsmen aren’t that into golf, most golf courses offer other activities for your group to participate in. Besides, who would turn down a day spent in the gorgeous outdoors with friends?

Why a Golf Getaway Is a Great Choice for a Bachelor Party

If you love to play golf, this one's a no-brainer. The golf course at Pursell Farms, FarmLinks, offers 18 holes of wide-open fairways, making it the best bachelor party golf trip. It's challenging enough for the expert while still giving less experienced golfers a great chance of shooting their career low, making it one of the most attractive and player-friendly golf courses in the Southeast. It's the perfect place for your golf vacation. Because golf trips should be fun, all the holes at FarmLinks at Pursell Farms have a singular personality and story behind them. Their inventive names give golfers a clue as to why the holes have the names that they do. Big Gulp has a body of water standing between you and the hole and it likes to be fed golf balls. Sawmill gets its name because a railroad stopped there to pick up lumber. And you'll just have to find out for yourself why one of the holes is called Baby Rattler. A fun feature that's unique to Pursell Farms golf course are the historical markers at each hole. Each marker has a bit of the American history that helped shape the Sylacauga, Alabama area. Learn about Hernando de Soto's journey through Sylacauaga, illegal Prohibition-era operations, and Civil War tales that you'll be sharing over dinner. Maybe Pursell Farms is too big of a journey for your bachelor trip - that’s okay! Check out our guide to the best stay and play packages in the Southeast. If you’re planning on going somewhere else in the country, a golf getaway is still a great way to relax and have a great time.
