How to Run a Golf Trip

A golf trip is one of the highlights of the golfing calendar. Whether you're heading away for a weekend or planning a week abroad, a little organisation helps everyone enjoy the experience.

Plan Early

Book your accommodation, tee times and travel as early as possible.

Invite Your Golfers

Confirm who's attending well in advance so everyone can plan accordingly.

Create Multiple Competitions

Most golf trips include more than one format.

For example:

Day 1 – Stableford

Day 2 – Texas Scramble

Day 3 – Match Play

This keeps every day fresh and gives everyone a chance to compete.
