Popular beachfront destination unveils new Gulf Shores dining card; stay-and-play packages start at $77 per golfer, per night
(GULF SHORES, ALABAMA) – The Gulf Shores Golf Association – a partnership of nine courses on Alabama’s Gulf Coast – has introduced customized Spring Break Stay-and-Play Packages starting at $77 per golfer, per night and a new Dining Card, offering savings at local restaurants.
Packages can be booked at Golf.GulfShores.com, where quotes from the region’s numerous accommodations partners, as well as availability for golf, are just a click away.
“This is a popular time to visit Gulf Shores because of the prime weather and long list of non-golf activities available on our 32 miles of beach,” says Duncan Millar, executive director of Golf Gulf Shores (www.Golf.GulfShores.com). “Our user-friendly website can quickly produce customized quotes for groups of all sizes, and the new Dining Card will save visitors money each time they dine at one of our partner restaurants.”

The rates are valid through May 20, 2012, include all taxes and fees and are based on four nights and three rounds of golf at three different pre-determined courses. Golfers booking these custom packages can add an Unlimited Golf option at all nine partner courses year-round:
