Golf Society Trips to England

You already know how it goes. You volunteer to organise the society trip, and from that moment it is yours: chasing deposits, juggling tee times, fielding texts about dietary requirements and who shares with whom. Everyone has an opinion, nobody has a spreadsheet, and the one person who never gets thanked is you. It is genuinely thankless work until a specialist takes it off your hands.

That is the whole point of letting Golf Planet Holidays organise your society trip to England. We have been arranging tailor-made golf travel for UK groups since 1981, we negotiate the group rates, we build the itinerary around your players, and at many venues the organiser plays free. From £175 per person for a group of 12 to 24, you get the golf you wanted and your weekends back.

A good society trip needs more than a tee sheet. It needs a base where 12 to 24 golfers can eat, drink, settle the side bets and roll out of bed onto the first tee the next morning. Three venues in our England portfolio do exactly that, each with its own character so we can match the trip to your group.

Carden Park Hotel, Cheshire is a resort built for groups, with two championship courses on the doorstep and the space to keep a larger society comfortable from arrival to last orders. Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club sits in the East Sussex countryside, an easy-on-the-eye base with two courses and the kind of clubhouse evenings societies remember. Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort in Lincolnshire gives you 27 holes across a wooded layout, a spa for anyone who overdoes day one, and rooms enough for the whole group under one roof.

Every itinerary is tailor-made and enquiry-based, so we shape rounds, room types and dining around what your society actually wants rather than a fixed package. From £175 per person, with group rates applied and the organiser often playing free.

The pull of an England society trip is the chance to put real courses on the card, the ones people talk about back at the club. We can weave a roster of genuine names into your itinerary.

Top of most lists is Hoylake, the Royal Liverpool links and an Open Championship venue, the kind of round that makes a trip feel like an occasion. Around the Wirral and the north-west coast we can pair it with Heswall Golf Club and Caldy Golf Club on the Wirral, Wallasey Golf Club, and West Lancashire Golf Club, a cluster of established courses that lets a society play a different test each day without long transfers between them. It is the makings of a proper golf week, links and parkland, championship and members’ favourites, all stitched into one itinerary by people who know the region.

Here is what changes when a specialist runs it. You stop being the bottleneck. We negotiate the group rate, hold the tee times, manage the rooming, handle the changes when someone drops out three weeks before, and present the trip back to your society as a clean, costed itinerary in GBP. The organiser, so often the forgotten man, frequently plays free.

If you would rather not run a single thing on the ground, we offer hosted and escorted group tours, where a representative travels with the society to keep tee times, transfers and the day-to-day running on track so you can simply play. And because we are ATOL Protected, with your money held in trust with PTS until you have travelled, the trust runs both ways: your members’ money is safe and your reputation as the organiser is secure.
