For those golfers out there - any good recs for a nice 3-4 day vacation spot? Looking for a good mix of golf and other things to do for the ladies in our group. We typically have gone to Cabo and Hilton Head, but looking for any recs on other options that might fit this bill. Thanks in advance!

Relatively pricey though, just FYI.

Check out The Golf Connection LLC (link below). CEO used to work for PGA Tour and Travel & Leisure. He has ProAm trips all over the Caribbean/US/Europe. Best part? He makes sure the ladies and other family members have full itineraries too. He also can help you plan a trip elsewhere if you want to go somewhere specific. We used him for a friend reunion in the DR last year and it was amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tough right now with so many things closed.

Pinehurst is amazing, but not as many activities for those who are not golfing.

Golden Horseshoe in Williamsburg, Virginia is a good one. If you stay at the Inn it's literally in the middle of historic Williamsburg, which is really pretty to walk around and see colonial reenactors. there's also a winery about 10 minutes away, and a few brew companies and a distillery. If there are kids on the trip Busch gardens theme park is nearby for roller coasters etc. but I think that is still closed.

Scottsdale all day. Shopping bars restaurants and pools for the ladies. Golf for the boys.

Do the tracks in Milwaukee - Whistling Straits, Kohler Blackwolf & River, and don't forget Erin Hills. If you stay in Kohler there's an amazing Spa for the ladies. I've done every golf trip in the states and the only one I've repeatedly gone back to is Wisconsin. Plus there's no such thing as too many cheese curds.

There's also amazing lakeside VRBO rentals that can accommodate 4-5 couples if that's more your thing.

Talking Stick in Scottsdale has some good room prices with 3 or 4 courses, a Casino, and a pool all at the resort

Surprised nobody has mentioned Sand Valley and Big Cedar Lodge yet.

A cheaper option that’s the most fun you can have on a golf course- sweetens cove coupled with Sewanee course. Did it recently 3 nights 4 days spent less than $250 on lodging and tee times

Doral is a great course. Resort is awesome as well and you’ve got all the beach activities etc near by

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
