I completely agree that it's mostly the parent's fault. I'm a teacher and one time we had a career day for our class. One of the dads said he had three jobs so it was obvious he never spent any time with his son. Between being a semi-professional racecar driver, amateur tattoo artist and volunteer fireman, he must have been incredibly tired all the time because he said some crazy stuff and I had to get the janitors to throw him out of the building.

Long(er) post incoming, but looking for recommendations into a golf trip for 2-4 guys as graduation presents to ourselves. We're all not terrible, but not great either. Don't know handicaps but probably in the 15-20 range.

Location
Leaning towards driving somewhere in the 3-5 hour range from BR but wouldn't mind flying somewhere. I know everyone would love to play Pebble or The Ocean Course in their life, but we know they would be way too expensive and I don't want to blow the first trip out just so every other trip I take later can feel less exciting. So was wondering about RTJ, Biloxi, or maybe even Arizona since we don't mind the heat and could possibly be cheaper. Ideally would spend 3-4 days there with at least 3 rounds that wouldn't break the bank (like 80-120 dollars per round)

Lodging
Probably would just do an airbnb or see if there is a package that is too good to pass up. Most likely this would be the area we would spend less on because we care more about the golf than where we would sleep.

Activities other than golf
Like I said, this trip would be mostly about golf, but couldn't hurt if there was a beach or maybe some interesting hikes/views to see while not golfing, or a good nightlife scene.

TL/DR: Just a couple of college kids looking for a good cheap golf weekend trip. Not amazing golfers but just looking for fun, any must do places to see that we can afford while still young?

TIA, long time lurker but interested to see what y'all would think as you seem like a knowledgeable group

Oh and for your time
