DRIVE! your way across the USA

Golfing Route 66 will take you, the passionate golfer, on a road trip down memory lane,
which harkens back to the classic road trip vacation where the journey was far more
important than the destination.

Referred to as “The Mother Road” by John Steinbeck in his Pulitzer Prize winning novel
“The Grapes of Wrath” and famous for many things including the Bobby Darren song
“Get Your Kicks on Route 66” - Route 66 began as Buffalo Traces or Animal Paths that
the Indians followed. It then became the route for the expansion of the nation that was to
become the USA.

The Military and the Mountain Men followed the route, then the covered wagons pushed
civilisation westward. The steel horse then followed as they laid down the railway tracks
and finally came the motor vehicle.

It is commonly called the “Main Street of America” due to the fact that it was literally the
main street for the many hundreds of towns it passed through, traversing diverse country-
side from the plains & fields in Illinois, through the rolling hills of Missouri, High Plains of
Oklahoma and Texas, then down into the desert areas of New Mexico and Arizona and
finally to the low hot desert of the Mojave.

From sea level to heights greater than our Mount Kosciusko the driver can experience a
dry desert and a Ponderosa Forest in an Alpine setting - all within 5 minutes.

With six days of relaxing Golf at some of America’s most beautiful courses, plus six days
of open top driving on this famous highway, you will be escorted and guided on an amaz-
ing adventure unlike any other you’ve experienced before and certainly not commonly
available on the market today.

This truly is one of the most unique and once in a lifetime golfing holidays you will ever
have the chance to enjoy, and we look forward to ‘DRIVING’ (excuse the pun) with you on
Route 66.
