Three Trips for a Guys’ Weekend in Georgia

You hear a lot about girls’ getaways — places where the girls can escape together for a while — but what about the guys? Don’t they deserve some time away too? Here are three Georgia escapes perfect for a boys’ weekend away.

Golf, mountain biking, fishing or just hanging out, Hard Labor Creek State Park is perfect for a guys-only weekend. Camp in a tent, bring the RV or stay in one of the renovated cabins.

Guys can get their thrills 2,000 feet up in the air at Lookout Mountain Flight Park. For those who have never been before, try the tandem package. A flight instructor turns over the controls if you’d like, or marvel at the scenery while your guide does the work.

Get fitted for clubs, take lessons and more at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center.

Sea Island Golf

If the boys want first-class golfing, head to the Georgia coast. The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club is an English-style golf club at the end of a classic Southern Avenue of Oaks. For a less expensive golf vacation that is still high on style, The Inn at Sea Island’s golf package offers access to all three of Sea Island’s championship courses, including Seaside, the home of the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic. A stay here also includes access to Sea Island’s Golf Performance Center, where pros like Zach Johnson, Davis Love III, Brandt Snedeker and Lucas Glover train.
