Planning a golf trip for a big group is a different challenge than putting together a weekend for four. You need plenty of courses, easy logistics, and the right mix of fun off the course. The best destinations for large groups deliver variety, convenience, and a setting where everyone can enjoy themselves. Here are some of the top spots to consider for your next group trip.
Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach is built for group golf. With over 80 courses in the area, you’ll never run out of options. From high-end layouts like Caledonia and Tidewater to more budget-friendly tracks, there’s something for every skill level. The nightlife and oceanfront lodging make it an easy choice for big groups looking for both golf and good times.
Why It Works for Groups: Endless course options, affordable packages, strong nightlife.
Scottsdale
Scottsdale combines desert golf with plenty to do off the course. Courses like Troon North, Grayhawk, and We-Ko-Pa are group favorites. The city itself has no shortage of resorts, restaurants, and nightlife to keep everyone entertained. With good weather for most of the year, it’s a reliable choice for larger groups.
Why It Works for Groups: Desert golf variety, resort options, big city amenities.
Las Vegas
Vegas has become more than just casinos. Courses like Shadow Creek, Cascata, and Bear’s Best give groups a mix of luxury and fun. For larger groups, the appeal is obvious: world-class entertainment at night and top-quality golf during the day. The city’s infrastructure makes planning big trips easier.
Why It Works for Groups: Top-notch golf, endless entertainment, easy logistics.
Orlando
Orlando has long been a group golf hotspot. With courses like Bay Hill, Streamsong (a short drive away), and dozens of resort layouts, there’s plenty to keep a big group busy. Add in large vacation rentals, theme parks, and non-golf activities, and it’s a destination that works for everyone.
Why It Works for Groups: Wide range of courses, large rental homes, something for non-golfers too.
Northern Michigan
When the weather is right, Northern Michigan is hard to beat for a group trip. Resorts like Boyne Highlands and Forest Dunes offer multiple courses on-site, making logistics simple. Add in lake views, long summer days, and great value compared to bigger-name resorts, and you’ve got a destination that works well for large groups.
Why It Works for Groups: Multi-course resorts, summer conditions, strong value.
