Four hard-to-beat deals: For those on a budget, there's a $99 bargain for three nights and three rounds (www.mbgolf.com, 800-422-1587); or you can stay three nights and play three rounds on Myrtle Beach's best, including Barefoot Resort and the TPC, for $285 per person (800-449-4005, www.beach-vacation.com. And there's the Legends Resort (six courses including the Moorland, Parkland and Heathland), with a budget daily fee of $75 for two players, including cart. The Legends also runs a $99-a-day deal, including lodging, breakfast, golf and cart fee, plus a drink in the resort's Ailsa Pub (800-299-6187, www.legendsgolf.com).

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT: The Phoenician luxury resort in Scottsdale offers complimentary pre-golf mini-massages Saturday and Sunday mornings (800-888-8234). . . .
