The first thing to define is your destination.  Where are you going?  Are you traveling for a winter golf getaway or timing your trip for a shoulder season discount?  Are you searching for golf with ocean views, or desert dunes and mountains in the backdrop?  Does your group have people coming from all over or will you be traveling to and from as a group?  Does your destination offer the golf courses that fit your groups skill level and budget? Once you define your destination and how you're getting there, you can focus on some additional details.
