Ah … summer. It’s finally here! And it’s time to get outside and play—just so long as we tread lightly on Ma Earth. If you’re into golf—and eco-travel—this package from Chicago-area Hotel Arista will help you get your game on and be kind to the planet, too.
Guests can choose an inclusive package that offers a game at one golf course (of three) with one night’s accommodation, or stay two nights and play at all three courses. Features include a stay for two guests in a deluxe room and breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, SugarToad.
