What Are Stay and Play Packages and Deals on Midwest Golf?

Updated

On Midwest Golf, "stay and play packages" and "deals" are golf-travel listings organized by Midwestern state. The site presents them as part of a broader set of travel resources — alongside golf courses and general travel ideas — that you browse by picking a state first. A stay and play package generally means a trip that bundles accommodations with golf, while deals generally point to discounted or promotional golf-travel offers. The exact contents of any package or deal are not described on the site's landing page, so you have to open the specific state page to see what is actually included.

What "stay and play" typically means

A stay and play package is a combined trip product: you get lodging plus access to golf, usually priced or booked as one unit rather than as two separate reservations. That is the standard meaning of the term in golf travel, and it matches how Midwest Golf groups the category with "deals" and "travel ideas."

What a package includes can vary widely — number of nights, number of rounds, whether meals or cart fees are part of it, and whether it covers one course or several. Midwest Golf's landing page does not specify any of this, so treat the term as a category label, not a guarantee of specific inclusions.

What "deals" typically means

Deals are the promotional side of the same travel section. In practice this usually means reduced rates, limited-time offers, or special pricing on golf trips and related bookings. As with packages, the site does not define the scope of a deal on its main page, so the details live on the individual state pages.

How the content is organized

Midwest Golf sorts all of this by state. The states listed are:

Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas
Michigan Minnesota Missouri Nebraska
North Dakota Ohio South Dakota Wisconsin

Each state is an entry point to that state's golf courses, stay and play packages, deals, and travel ideas. There is also a "Search Golf Trips" option for finding trips directly rather than browsing state by state.

How to actually use it

  1. Choose a Midwest state from the list.
  2. Open that state's page to see its courses, packages, deals, and travel ideas.
  3. Check the specific package or deal listing for what is included — nights, rounds, and any conditions.
  4. Alternatively, use "Search Golf Trips" if you already know roughly what kind of trip you want.

The key caveat: because the landing page only names the categories, the real content — and any pricing, availability, or booking terms — appears at the state or listing level. Confirm details there before planning around a package or deal.
