'Tis the Season for Cool Golf Deals in Southampton

SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - Oct 2, 2013) - The weather may be cooling down, but the specials at Meon Valley, A Marriott Hotel & Country Club are heating up. From 1 October 2013 to 31 March 2014, the hotel is offering a variety of promotions that will have golfers everywhere readying their swings.

Unique among golf clubs in Hampshire, Meon Valley's 18-hole championship course bisects an ancient oak forest located on the property's 225 acres. As a result, players are treated to features like tree-lined fairways and natural water hazards that take on an otherworldly beauty in a wintertime frost. And the course's connection to one of the finest luxury hotels in Southampton only enhances its versatility: Business groups, corporate retreats and VIP getaways are all as comfortable on the course as they are in the hotel.

This winter, Meon Valley's specials make it easier than ever to get on the course. Players can choose between three packages that combine dining and golfing in irresistible ways. For just £25 per person, for example, golfers can start the day with coffee and a bacon roll before hitting the greens. Or they can opt for a full English breakfast and 18 holes for £30. Those who prefer to play later in the day, meanwhile, can fit in a game around coffee and a three-course lunch or dinner for only £35. Groups, meanwhile, enjoy the added advantage of one in 12 players going free.

Considering the caliber of this hotel's Southampton restaurants, these winter golf specials are doubly appealing. Zest Restaurant, Bar and Lounge, for example, serves inspired fare in a menu that combines old favourites with new dishes. Plus the friendly service and stylish aesthetic make Zest the perfect place to warm up before or after a game at Meon Valley, one of the most gracious hotels in Southampton.

Golfers eager to take advantage of these winter golf specials may call 44-1329-836-829 or email claire.cox@marriotthotels.com. A two-ball minimum is required, and availability is limited.
