Planning a group golf break in England
We've organised group golf trips for over 24 years. Here's how an England golf break works with us:
Small deposits secure your tee times and rooms early, which matters for weekends in summer.
Individual payments mean each golfer pays their own balance. No chasing your mates for money.
One booking covers your hotel and tee times, and dinner too on most of our packages.
Travel is booked separately. Most groups drive, so you can bring your own clubs.
Golf societies are welcome. See our GroupiaGolf Society page.

Coach: for bigger societies, see our golf coach trips.
Beyond the golf
Combine your golf break with a night out in Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds or Birmingham, a race meeting, or a pint by the sea in Cornwall. Many of our resorts have a spa for the morning after, and the cities are never far away.
