One of the unexpected pleasures of RV travel is the ability to play golf in places you'd never otherwise visit — courses tucked into landscapes that make the game feel entirely new.
Golf as a Reason to Stop
When you're traveling by RV, you have the freedom to stop anywhere that catches your interest — and for golfers, that opens up a world of courses that would never make a dedicated golf trip itinerary. Small-town municipal courses, resort layouts in unexpected locations, Harvest Hosts stops at golf clubs where you can park overnight and play in the morning. Golf becomes less about the destination and more about the discovery.

Playing in New Places
There's something genuinely different about playing a course you've never seen before, in a part of the country you're just passing through. The local knowledge you'd normally bring to a home course is gone — you're reading every green fresh, navigating every fairway without memory. It slows you down in the best way. You pay more attention. You notice the landscape. And when you make a good shot on an unfamiliar hole, it feels earned in a way that a familiar course never quite delivers.
Harvest Hosts and Golf Clubs
Harvest Hosts — the membership program that lets RVers stay overnight at farms, wineries, and other unique locations — includes a number of golf clubs in its network. The arrangement is simple: you stay in the parking lot, you play the course, and you support a local business. It's one of the better deals in RV travel, and it's introduced us to courses we'd never have found otherwise. If you're a golfer and an RVer, the combination is hard to beat.
