Most Requested Golf Destinations

Trying to pick the right golf trip? These are the destinations golfers ask about most often, with estimated costs and the real reason each one makes sense.

Golf trips are not all the same. Some are built around famous courses. Some are about the resort. Some are about beaches, nightlife, annual traditions, or finally getting the group together.

Compare Popular Golf Trip Destinations

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — Typical Cost: $900-$1,800 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

Golf: $350-$800 per person

Food, drinks, and local costs: $250-$500 per person

Flights: often $200-$600 extra depending on where you are coming from

Myrtle Beach is usually the first name that comes up when someone says, “We have a group, we want a lot of golf, and nobody wants to spend a fortune.”

This is not a one-course destination. It is a full golf playground with tons of courses, oceanfront hotels, rental houses, restaurants, bars, and package options. It works because it gives groups choices.

Best fit: annual outings, buddy trips, bachelor groups, and golfers who want the most golf for the money.

Scottsdale, Arizona — Typical Cost: $2,000-$4,000 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

4 nights / 4 rounds: $2,000-$4,000 per golfer

Golf: $800-$1,700 per person

Food, drinks, resort, and local costs: $500-$900 per person

Flights: usually extra, with peak spring dates often higher

Scottsdale is the golf trip that feels a little more polished. Desert courses, mountain views, great resorts, pool time, steak dinners, and warm weather all work together.

Courses like Troon North, We-Ko-Pa, Grayhawk, TPC Scottsdale, and Quintero are the type of places golfers talk about before they even pack their clubs.

Best fit: upscale golf trips, couples golf vacations, and groups that want golf plus resort life.

Pinehurst, North Carolina — Typical Cost: $1,800-$3,500 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

Lodging: $600-$1,300 per person

Golf: $900-$1,700 per person

Meals, drinks, and local costs: $300-$500 per person

Important note: packages with Pinehurst No. 2 can push the price higher

Pinehurst is not the trip you pick because someone found a random deal. You go because your group cares about golf.

The village, the history, the courses, and the atmosphere make it feel like golf’s version of Cooperstown. Pinehurst No. 2 gets the attention, but the whole destination feels built around the game.

Best fit: serious golfers, milestone trips, and groups that want a golf-first experience.

Bandon Dunes, Oregon — Typical Cost: $2,500-$5,000 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

4 nights / 4 rounds: $2,500-$5,000 per golfer

Lodging: $800-$1,700 per person

Golf: $1,200-$2,500 per person

Food, caddies, tips, and local costs: $500-$800 per person

Flights and transfers: can add a lot because getting there is part of the challenge

Bandon Dunes is the trip where nobody asks, “What else are we doing?” The answer is golf.

Ocean views, walking golf, changing weather, and courses that feel like they were dropped into the landscape instead of built on top of it. This is a golf pilgrimage, not a casual weekend away.

Best fit: hardcore golfers, bucket-list groups, and players who want the course to be the entire point of the trip.

Hilton Head, South Carolina — Typical Cost: $1,200-$2,800 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

3-4 nights / 3-4 rounds: $1,200-$2,800 per golfer

Lodging: $500-$1,200 per person

Golf: $500-$1,100 per person

Food, beach time, bike rentals, and local costs: $300-$600 per person

Flights: usually extra; Savannah is often part of the travel discussion

Hilton Head is what happens when golf and relaxation decide to get along.

You can play in the morning, hit the beach in the afternoon, and go out for dinner without feeling like you are stuck in a tourist circus. It is quieter than Myrtle Beach and less flashy than Scottsdale, but that is exactly why some groups love it.

Best fit: couples trips, relaxed golf groups, coastal vacations, and travelers who want golf without chaos.

Orlando, Florida — Typical Cost: $1,000-$2,500 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

3-4 nights / 3-4 rounds: $1,000-$2,500 per golfer

Lodging: $350-$900 per person

Golf: $400-$1,000 per person

Food, rental car, rideshare, and local costs: $250-$600 per person

Flights: often easier to find because Orlando has so many options

Orlando might be the easiest golf trip in America to organize.

Flights are everywhere. Hotels are everywhere. Golf courses are everywhere. And if some people in the group are not golfing every day, there is still plenty for them to do.

Best fit: mixed groups, family golf vacations, easy long weekends, and golfers who want options beyond the course.

Las Vegas, Nevada — Typical Cost: $1,500-$3,500 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

3 nights / 3 rounds: $1,500-$3,500 per golfer

Lodging: $500-$1,300 per person

Golf: $500-$1,300 per person

Food, nightlife, shows, rideshare, and extras: $500-$900+ per person

Flights: usually extra; hotel prices swing hard by event weekend

Nobody picks Las Vegas strictly for the golf. That is not an insult. That is the point.

You play golf during the day, then the trip keeps going at night with restaurants, shows, casinos, sports books, and stories that get better every year.

Best fit: buddy trips, birthday weekends, groups that want nightlife, and golfers who want the trip to feel bigger than the rounds.

Pebble Beach, California — Typical Cost: $3,500-$7,000+ per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

3 nights / 3 rounds: $3,500-$7,000+ per golfer

Lodging: $1,500-$3,500+ per person

Golf: $1,500-$2,500+ per person

Dining, caddies, tips, transportation, and extras: $500-$1,000+ per person

Important note: this is one of the easiest trips to underestimate

Every golfer has that course they have watched on TV for years and said, “Someday.”

For a lot of golfers, that place is Pebble Beach. The ocean views are ridiculous, the setting feels special before you ever hit a shot, and the photos are exactly as good as you hope they are.

Best fit: once-in-a-lifetime golf trips, milestone birthdays, premium groups, and golfers who want the name-brand experience.

Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic — Typical Cost: $2,500-$5,500+ per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

4 nights / 3 rounds: $2,500-$5,500+ per golfer

Resort stay: $1,200-$2,800+ per person

Golf: $900-$1,800+ per person, especially with Teeth of the Dog included

Food, drinks, transfers, activities, and extras: $400-$900+ per person

Flights: usually extra; international travel and group transfers matter here

If you have spent any time around golfers, you have probably heard someone mention Teeth of the Dog.

Teeth of the Dog is the headline, with oceanfront holes that make golfers stop and pull out their phones. But Casa de Campo is more than one famous course. Dye Fore brings dramatic views over the Chavón River, and The Links gives golfers another completely different round.

The resort also feels like a full vacation. Golf carts, beaches, pools, marina restaurants, Altos de Chavón, tennis, pickleball, fishing, and plenty of space to relax.

Best fit: Caribbean golf vacations, couples, groups that want luxury, and golfers who want the trip to feel like more than just tee times.

Streamsong, Florida — Typical Cost: $1,800-$3,800 per golfer

Estimated Cost Breakdown

3 nights / 4 rounds: $1,800-$3,800 per golfer

Lodging: $600-$1,400 per person

Golf: $900-$1,800 per person

Food, drinks, caddies, tips, and local costs: $300-$600 per person

Flights and transfers: usually extra; this is a golf-focused resort, not a city trip

Streamsong feels like someone built a golf resort and forgot to build a city around it.

That is actually the appeal. You are not going for nightlife, beaches, or theme parks. You are going because the courses are the star of the trip.

Best fit: serious golf groups, short Florida golf getaways, and players who want multiple strong rounds in one place.

Which Golf Destination Is Right For Your Group?

The best golf destination is not always the most famous one. It is the one that fits your group, budget, travel dates, number of rounds, and what everyone wants to do when they are not on the course.

If your group is trying to decide between several golf destinations, I can help you compare the options before you start booking rooms and tee times.
