Stay & Play Alternatives
Stay & Play Alternatives pair off-site lodging with access to marquee resort courses and nearby standouts.
You get the golf you came for without being locked into sold-out resort rooms or inflated on-property rates.
The Stay & Play Alternative Setup
A Stay & Play Alternative is anchored near a marquee resort rather than inside it. Lodging is selected off property, while the golf plan keeps the flagship course in play alongside other strong options nearby.
The structure stays compact. Drive times are short, rounds are sequenced deliberately, and the trip delivers the same caliber of golf without depending on limited on-site availability.
The Value of a Stay & Play Alternative
It removes a single point of failure. When resort rooms are booked or priced aggressively, the trip still works without sacrificing access to the golf that matters.
This approach fits destinations where elite courses exist alongside quality nearby lodging. When paired correctly, it preserves the stay-and-play feel while adding flexibility the traditional model cannot offer.
Is This the Right Fit?
Stay & Play Alternatives make sense for groups set on playing marquee resort courses but flexible on where they sleep. This approach works well for travelers who want access to top-tier golf without hinging the entire trip on limited on-property availability.
If staying inside the resort bubble, walking from room to tee, or keeping everything under one roof is non-negotiable, a traditional stay & play setup will be a better fit.
How We Build These Trips
The process starts by identifying resort courses that allow outside play and pair well with nearby options. Lodging is then selected close enough to preserve a resort-style flow without depending on on-site rooms.
Once the balance is right, the trip delivers the same golf focus and daily rhythm as a true stay & play, with added flexibility built in.
If this sounds like the kind of trip your group wants, the next step is a conversation, not a commitment.
