The Advantages of an Orlando Vacation Villa for your Golf Trip

If you are planning a golf trip to Florida an Orlando vacation villa can offer you several advantages over a hotel room. However, before discussing these, there are many reasons why Florida is attractive to golfers, and Orlando in particular - particular if you are married with children.

If you are keen on golf, and can think of no better way to spend your annual vacation than on a golf course, there is nothing to hold you back - except your partner and the children. It doesn't matter if you are male or female, statistics show that one partner frequently does not have the passion for the game of the other, and that the children can place a great strain on couples at vacation time.

What can you do when one half wants to get out on the golf course and the other half does not? Not only that, but if the kids want to do something else - you have absolutely no chance of swinging a golf club, unless you are to pay for it with silence for the next few months. That's where Orlando comes into the equation.

Be honest with your partner and family and you will feel a lot better. Argue between a golfing holiday or a family vacation and you will lose - or if you win, you don't really win, and you know it. So be honest. Do a deal. You will all go to Florida - to Orlando, and they can visit Disney World and go shopping while you go golfing. Not only that, but you won't stay in a sterile hotel, but in a beautiful Orlando vacation villa where the kids can each have their own bedroom.

Stress to them the option: a hotel where either the kids share your room, or they have their own room at great cost, and the two of you won't know what they are getting up to. You will worry about it, and your vacation will be the less enjoyable because of it. The menu will be limited to what is on the hotel menu, and won't be able to drink too much in the evening because of the prices.

Then offer the alternative. An Orlando vacation villa with a bedroom for each of the kids with their own bathroom. A private pool and Jacuzzi, wide screen TV and DVD player, and even a games console. Their very own kitchen, so that they can cook their own steaks, make their own burgers or just rustle up some supper at night before bed. Supermarket drinks at supermarket prices, so you can sit and relax by the pool at night. They visit Disney, and you go golfing.

You can explain that it's not wasted, because you need some work on your drive and your swing, and you can sign up for some lessons at the Brad Brewer Golf Academy. Even the kids can get lessons and start to learn the game, and you will look after them while your partner goes shopping. That's what you call compromise, when you both bend a little to the benefit of both of you and the children win all the way through.

That's one way of getting a golfing vacation in Orlando. The other is if you both enjoy golf, and that is the ideal situation. Even then, a holiday villa makes more sense than a hotel, partially because of the independence and privacy it gives you and partially for price. Independence in that you can eat at any time, and not only when the restaurant is open. Privacy because you are not sharing your space with strangers: you can do your own tidying up and cleaning, as many prefer to do, and you can relax by yourself.

Price can also be relevant, particularly if there are more than two of you. Three hotel rooms can cost significantly more than one Orlando vacation villa that can sleep up to six or more, and the villa offers you all the home entertainment that a hotel can, and then more. You don't share your pool with 200 others in your villa, and you don't pay bar prices for your drinks as you relax poolside watching the sun go down.

Without a doubt, Orlando is a great place for golfers that need somewhere to interest the other half of their family. If you choose an Orlando vacation villa as your accommodation, there is no need for anybody to lounge about a golf complex while their partner receives coaching or plays a round, but they can take advantage of everything that Orlando has to offer them and the children.

Not just Disney World, but also the Titanic Exhibition, Boggy Creek and World of Orchids, and they can even go ballooning. There is much more to Orlando than just Mickey Mouse!
