Planning a golf trip with the guys can be a blast, but it can also be quite the challenge to get everything organized and find the best spots. Here are some ideas and tips that might help you create an unforgettable golfing experience!

Destination Ideas

When choosing a destination, consider the experience you want:

  • Palm Springs, CA - Known for its stunning courses and warm weather, this is a classic choice for a golf getaway. Check out places like PGA West or La Quinta.
  • Scotland - For the ultimate golf experience, nothing beats the home of golf. Destinations like St. Andrews are not only iconic but offer an incredible historical experience.
  • Florida - With numerous resorts, Florida offers a variety of challenging courses. Places like Orlando or Palm Beach are popular.
  • Las Vegas - A mix of entertainment and golfing, with design courses that can be both fun and challenging.

Suggested Trip Formats

  • Weekend Getaway - Perfect for a quick escape! Consider a Friday to Sunday format, playing one or two rounds each day.
  • Longer Retreat - A week-long trip allows for more relaxed rounds, possibly including a couple of tournaments among friends. Think about themed days like “Best Ball Tournament” or “Scramble Day.”
  • Golf & Adventure Combo - If your group enjoys extra activities, plan a day or two for other adventures like hiking, fishing, or exploring nearby attractions.

Tips for Planning

  • Budgeting - Make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the budget. This includes accommodation, food, and green fees.
  • Booking in Advance - Golf courses can fill up quickly, especially in peak seasons. Make sure you book tee times in advance to avoid missing out on popular courses.
  • Accommodation Choices - Consider staying at golf resorts that offer packages including both lodging and greens fees. This can save money and time when organizing.
  • Food and Entertainment - Don’t forget to plan for meals and some downtime activities. A nice dinner after a day on the course or some local nightlife options can enhance the trip.

Final Thoughts

Don’t forget that the trip is about enjoying time together as friends, so keep things flexible and fun! Share your experiences or additional ideas that might help in planning. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

That’s a solid point, ebaker! I’ve also found that booking a house or cabin can be cheaper than hotels, especially if you split it among a larger group.
