I’m trying to narrow down a few golf trip ideas for a small group and keep it realistic. Say it’s 4 guys, 3 nights, 3 rounds, and around $1,000-$1,500 each for golf and lodging. Ideally one really good course, two solid value rounds, and not too much driving. What golf destination would you pick for a 3-4 day golf trip, and what makes it worth the money?
Our annual trip is coming up and we usually run a Ryder Cup-style competition with best-ball and singles matches across the front and back nines of each course over four days. I’m curious if there are any other formats to consider. We’re open to trying something new if there are any good suggestions that have been fun. Do most groups run individual and/or team competitions for their trips? If it matters, we’re a group of twelve, mid-teens handicaps, competitive but not too serious, mostly having fun.
