❝If you're looking for the perfect venue to host your group in the UK, look no further than The Celtic Manor. With 3 great Golf Courses, a plethora of dining options and bars, The Celtic Manor delivers at every corner you turn in resort.❞
Where I go myself
❝Doing what I do has allowed me to play some of the great golf courses in Europe but I think we overlook what is on our own shores. I've been fortunate enough to play some Open rostered courses including The Old Course, St Andrews, Carnoustie, Ailsa Course (Turnberry) and Royal St Georges. One thing we have at our disposal is the Resort experiences that allow for convenience and offers first-class golf facilities and excellent hotels all in one place. Resorts like Hanbury Manor, Old Thorns, Close House to name but a few allow seamless movement from course to Bars / Restaurants to your bedroom and back on to fairways without really having to think about it.❞

❝For any group travelling abroad for quality golf and nightlife; Vilamoura ticks the box. Its a real gateway to some of the best courses in Europe which are located within a short transfer from your hotel. The Vilamoura marina area offers a huge selection of culinary and drinking options to suit any taste. If you haven't travelled to this region before; its a must for any golfer.❞
Where I go myself
❝One of the regular golf holidays I take each year with my group is to Lisbon. The golf courses on offer at the likes of Oitavos Dunes, a must-play for low-handicappers, and Quinta da Marinha, great for a mixed handicap group, are great options. For an extended trip I've also had great times playing at Praia D'El Rey and West Cliffs, amazing courses to play when the sun is shining.❞
The main reason that golfers travel as a group is to enjoy great golf experiences with their friends. Whether that is standing on the 1st tee all wondering who is going to hit the best, or worst, shot, or who’s handicap deserves an immediate review after claiming the spoils that day, the memories that group golf trips provides live long in the memory and it is easy to see why so many take these holidays each year.
Whether organising a golf trip in the UK or abroad, you'll do well to consider some of the following facets that contribute to a great group golf break.
✅ | Multiple courses | ✅ | Free Places |
✅ | Drinks Discounts | ✅ | Leisure / Spa Facilities |
✅ | Snooker / Pool Tables | ✅ | Great 19th Hole / Sport Bar |
✅ | Private Dining | ✅ | 2-Tee starts for large groups |
If the benefits for you need to be more than just the memories with your friends then you’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty more. These include, but aren’t limited to :-
The most popular type of group holiday is found in the UK. These will typically involve a group of friends playing a two-course venue where they’ll arrive on the 1st day, play 18 holes, enjoy a great dinner that evening, stay overnight before a fantastic breakfast before tackling the 2nd course the following day. These 1 night, 2 round breaks are very popular for groups looking to play 2 different courses as part of their golf trip.
These types of golf trip are taken at a host of different golf venues in the UK with the likes of The Belfry with its onsite nightclub The Belair and 3 great golf courses a firm favourite. For those seeking some superb dining options, The Celtic Manor, home of The 2010 Ryder Cup, offers a range of restaurants which are perfect for the many different tastes of a group.
Alternatively for those wanting a bit of nightlife as part of their group trip, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Newcastle and Edinburgh are all perfect city golf trips to enjoy. With hotels located in central locations and superb golf courses within easy reach of the city-centre it is easy to see why this type of golf tour is so popular.
Alternatively, for those seeking a golf trip abroad for their society or club, popular choices include Vilamoura in The Algarve with it’s sensational choices of golf courses as well as excellent options for apres golf activities in the Marina with a host of top-rated bars and restaurants. Those heading to Spain will find plenty of possibilities in Malaga with more than 60 golf courses to combine as part of your holiday or Alicante with a chance to head North to Villaitana which provides easy access into Benidorm or South and into the many golf options available at Mar Menor and La Manga Club. The most popular group golf holidays in France tend to be found in Northern France at Le Touquet. Golfers heading here can enjoy a casino as well as Championship golf courses laid out by the likes of Harry Colt, all within easy reach of Calais and a very speedy trip under the Channel courtesy of The Eurotunnel.
Our recommended choices for those seeking great villa or apartment accommodations are Wyndham Grand Algarve which is just moments from Quinta do Lago in The Algarve, Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus with a Championship golf course that has in the 7th hole, one of Europe’s greatest par-3’s or Las Colinas near Alicante which has played host to The European Tour’s Tour School previously.
Another popular type of golf holiday for groups is taking on the lists that make up every golfer’s top lists. This can be playing the world’s Top 100 Golf Courses, Open Championship Courses, Bucket List Golf Courses or following in the footsteps of Ryder Cup, Major Championships and PGA Tour events.
Every year we organise incredible trips to Scotland and Ireland with golfers taking on the links golf courses that adorn the top of any golf rankings or create stunning itineraries for those wanting to celebrate a landmark birthday as a group to take in The Masters, Ryder Cup or playing a golf course like Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass or Sun City to complete the bucket lists we all have in our hearts.
There are two main drivers, pardon the pun, for group golf travel. They’re great off-the-course activities such as fantastic food and drink or playing world-class golf courses. Thankfully with a lot of destinations both of these drivers can be filled. Golfers wanting to play some heathland classics in the day at Ferndown, Parkstone and Broadstone and dine in top-rated restaurants and party until the early hours can find Bournemouth as the perfect group golf destination.
For those seeking amazing dining options as well as top-class links golf, the foodie capital of Ireland, Kinsale, can provide you with Old Head in the day, or Alistair MacKenzie designed Cork Golf Club in the day and a host of restaurants that’ll be the match of any destination in the world.

❝The Masters is the one trip that leaves you with the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. To see it in person blows any expectations you might have out of the water. The scale of the place and the atmosphere make it for me, the best sporting experience on the planet❞
Where I go myself
❝I have seen some astonishing golf in the US, such as Kiawah Island, Harbour Town, Pinehurst and Sawgrass. If I could go on any golf trip each year it would be to the US. Pebble Beach is certainly on my bucket list. Most recently I went to Dubai where the golf is also top class.❞
Medal - 2 rounds of Medal with no gimmies?
Well, surprisingly enough this isn’t a popular choice when travelling as a group on a golf break. The most popular picks are pairs matchplay or better ball where you select the best score on each hole to give your pair a stableford score that can be compared to against the rest of your group. Typically anything around 45 points and more for this format is considered well into the realms of bandit territory.
Another good option if you have even teams of 4 is 4-ball better ball, this involves taking the best 2 stableford scores on each hole, par for the team would be 72 points but in this format scores tend to be around 80 with any teams getting more than 90 expected to be called bandits for the rest of the golf trip.
Game formats we suggest for groups
Stableford
4-Ball Better Ball
Greensomes
Texas Scramble
6 Point Game
With varying levels of golfers coming as part of your trip, it is very important to consider the playing standard of your friends. Play something too hard and your higher handicaps won’t enjoy it, play something easier and the lower handicaps won’t feel challenged enough.
Below is a brief summary of some recommended courses for high, mixed and low handicap golfers.
The most popular golf courses for societies to take a golf break on are those with two golf courses to play as part of it. Here’s a selection of two golf course venues in the UK as well as some in Europe.
Hill Valley
The Emerald and Sapphire Courses are undulating and fair with a premium placed on accuracy off the tee rather than simply length.
Vilamoura
A hugely popular choice, golfers heading here can enjoy the tranquil golf courses at Millennium, Pinhal and Laguna, all 3 of these are very playable and provide a great place for higher handicaps to enjoy their golf trip.
There’s plenty of water in play so anyone walking away without a lost ball is likely to be faring well here.
Mar Menor
The resort course at Mar Menor is very enjoyable with plenty of teeing options to ensure that it works well for golfers of all handicaps. With wide fairways and large greens, this is a course that, for anyone avoiding the bunkers and water hazards in play, is going to have a good chance of beating their handicap.
With numerous other golf courses in Murcia available to play as part of your trip, this area is a great option.
Shropshire

Murcia

With more than 3,500 golf hotels, golf courses and golf resorts to choose from, distilling this into a list is tricky to do but these are perfect choices for anyone looking to travel as a golf society or Captain’s away day from a golf club.
Forest of Arden
This former European Tour venue is one that provides a superb challenge with it’s two golf courses. The Arden has seen the likes of Darren Clarke claim a win there whilst the Aylesford is one that tricks up anyone underestimating the scorecard’s length.
With excellent leisure facilities, this award-winning resort is one that many will head to each year.
Celtic Manor
The home of The 2010 Ryder Cup, The Celtic Manor is one of the UK’s most impressive golf resorts. With 3 excellent golf courses and a range of accommodation including the 5 star Resort Hotel, 4 star Manor Hotel, 4 Star Coldra Court and luxury Hunter Lodges which line the 16th hole on the Twenty Course, it is easy to see why The Celtic Manor is one that golf societies put on their list each year.
Whilst many eyes will be drawn to the Twenty Ten course when playing The Celtic Manor, The Montgomerie and The Roman Road are superb tests of golf. Those finding fairways here are the ones likely to take the spoils.
Villaitana
With 2 Jack Nicklaus designed golf courses, Villaitana provides a great option for a golf society wanting to combine top-rated golf with access to nightlife in Benidorm.
Whilst the Levante is the Championship offering here, the Poniente is a shorter, more intricate option that provides a real challenge to low handicap golfers whilst the higher handicaps tend to shine. A great 2 course option located within easy reach of Alicante airport.

For low handicap golfers the courses that have hosted professional tournaments tend to be the biggest lure. Whether this is a Ryder Cup, an Open Championship or a European Tour event, courses that have formed part of this history are the ones that are top picks for the lower handicaps.
Bournemouth
The heathland classics of Ferndown, Parkstone and Broadstone are perfectly matched against the modern beauty of Remedy Oak or the breath taking views provided by The Isle of Purbeck.
These courses regularly feature within Top 100 golf course lists and provide a memorable option for golfers heading down to this popular golf tour destination.
The Lothians
Taking your golf clubs on tour just East of Edinburgh provides access into a wealth of golf courses that few areas anywhere in the world can compete with.
Muirfield and it’s Open Championship history plus the historic layouts of Gullane and North Berwick that are now matched by modern classics at Archerfield and The Renaissance Club make East Lothian a top choice for low handicap golfers.
Valderrama
A regular winner of the title of Best Golf Course in Europe, Valderrama is a course synonymous with tournament golf. Whether it was Seve Ballesteros’ captaincy in claiming The 1997 Ryder Cup or the numerous household names who have taken the title at The Valderrama Masters over the years, this is an amazing cork-tree-lined golf course that provides a challenge perfect for low handicap golfers.
With an array of amazing golf courses in the area to enjoy including Finca Cortesin, La Reserve, San Roque and Real Clube de Sotogrande, this is an absolute must visit for anyone wanting an amazing golf holiday.
