Golf Holidays for Groups

Golf Holidays for Groups

Some holidays are simply better shared. Our group golf & spa getaways are perfect for a lads' trip, a friends' escape, or just an excuse to get everyone together in the sunshine. Think long days on the course, plenty of banter, and evenings that roll into good food, great wine, and a few stories you probably shouldn't tell back home.

And because not every moment has to be high-energy, our resorts also offer indulgent spas, pools, and relaxed spaces to recharge. So whether your group is here for the golf, the downtime, or a mix of both, these destinations deliver the perfect balance of fun and luxury.

What Makes a Great Group Golf Resort

The best group golf resorts share a few qualities: courses that work for a range of handicaps without turning the trip into a grudge match, accommodation clustered enough that the group stays together naturally, restaurants with tables for eight or more that don't require booking a private room, and a social atmosphere that carries the evening through dinner and beyond. We look for resorts where large groups have been hosted before — the logistics are different at scale and properties that know what they're doing make the organiser's job significantly easier.

We handle the coordination on your behalf: tee times booked for the whole group, room allocations confirmed, dinner reservations made, transfers arranged for everyone. If you want a group competition with scorecards and a small presentation dinner, we can organise that too. The trip organiser's job is to get everyone to the airport — everything from there is handled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people counts as a group for a golf trip?
We'd typically consider anything from four upwards a group booking. The logistics — coordinating tee times, room allocations, dinner reservations and transfers for multiple people — benefit from specialist handling regardless of exact numbers. Groups of eight or more often qualify for group rates at the resort and discounted green fees. We handle all the coordination so the trip organiser doesn't spend the week chasing people rather than playing golf.
What's the best destination for a group golf trip in Europe?
Portugal's Algarve is the most popular choice for UK groups — excellent courses, reliable sunshine from April to October, strong direct flight connections from regional airports, and resorts that handle groups well. Morocco (particularly Marrakech) works very well for groups who want something more distinctive — the combination of the medina, hammam culture and high-quality golf is genuinely different from the standard European options. Spain's Costa del Sol is a natural fit for groups that want a broader social scene alongside the golf.
Can we get the group together on the course at the same time?
Yes — we coordinate tee times to keep the group together, whether that's a single four-ball, two consecutive groups or a shotgun start for larger parties. For groups of 12 or more, some resorts offer exclusive use of the course for a morning or an arranged competition format with scorecards and prizes. Let us know the group size and what kind of golf day you're looking for and we'll organise accordingly.
What happens if some people in the group don't play golf?
This is more common than people expect, and the resorts on this page handle it well. Non-golfers tend to self-organise around the spa, pool and dining options while the golfers are on the course, and the group reconvenes for lunch and dinner. We'd steer groups with a significant non-golf contingent towards resorts where the spa and leisure facilities are particularly strong — so nobody feels they're waiting around while the others play.
Do you organise group competitions and prizes?
Yes. We can set up a Stableford or strokeplay competition with handicaps managed across the group, coordinate scorecards, arrange a prize fund or trophies, and even source a local pro to run a nearest-the-pin or longest drive competition. Many groups build a small end-of-trip 'presentation dinner' into the itinerary — we can arrange a private dining room or terrace at the resort if the numbers suit it.
