Organising the society trip is a thankless job. You’re the one fielding the WhatsApp messages, chasing deposits, juggling who wants a single room and who’ll share, and praying the tee times line up. Hand it to Golf Planet Holidays and that all stops being your problem. We’ve been arranging tailor-made golf travel for UK societies since 1981, and the Lisbon Coast is one of the easiest groups of 12 to 24 we put together — a short flight, a single comfortable base, and five genuinely good courses within a short drive of each other.
From
One base, five courses worth the trip
The Lisbon Coast rewards a society that wants variety without long transfers. From a single hotel you can play Oitavos Dunes, the windswept Atlantic course ranked among Europe’s best; Quinta da Marinha in Cascais for a more forgiving resort round; the classic, tree-lined Estoril Golf Club; Penha Longa up in the cool hills of Sintra; and Belas Clube de Campo, carved through a wooded valley inland.
That spread matters for a group of 12 to 24. You can open with something kind to the higher handicaps, save Oitavos for the day everyone wants to remember, and never face more than a short coach ride between the hotel and the first tee. We sort the order, book the times in your society’s name, and make sure the buggies and trolleys are in place before you land.
Where your society stays
Three bases anchor most of our Lisbon Coast trips, and which one suits you comes down to your budget and how close you want to be to the evening.
Vila Gale Cascais puts you in the heart of Cascais — bars, restaurants and the seafront on your doorstep, ideal for a sociable group that wants to walk out for dinner. Quinta da Marinha sits in a quieter resort setting with its own course on site, handy when you want golf and hotel under one roof. And up the coast, the Praia D’El Rey Marriott near Óbidos is the full resort experience — a step up in comfort for a society that wants to travel in style. Tell us the standard you’re after and we’ll match the hotel, room split and board to it.
Where our specialists would stay in Lisbon Coast
We do the organising — including the bits you dread
This is the part that makes a specialist worth it. You give us your group size, rough dates and the kind of trip you want; we come back with a costed, itemised quote in GBP. We handle the rooming list, the tee-time schedule, transfers from the airport and between courses, and we can sort a group dinner and the running order for the day if you want one.
If you’d rather be a player than a planner, our hosted and escorted group tours mean someone from our side travels with you, deals with the resorts and keeps the days running so you can concentrate on your game and the 19th hole. Either way, the chasing stops being yours.
Booked the right way — ATOL protected, money in trust
A society trip is other people’s money, so it has to be safe. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your group’s payments are held in trust with PTS until you’ve travelled — the money isn’t released to suppliers until the trip is done, which is exactly the reassurance you want when you’re collecting from 20-odd members.
We’re a ground-based specialist, so flights are arranged as an add-on to suit where your group is flying from — useful when players are scattered across different UK airports. Tell us your numbers and dates and we’ll put a proper quote in front of you, with everything itemised and nothing hidden.

Frequently asked questions
How many players do you need for a golf society trip to the Lisbon Coast?
Our Lisbon Coast group trips are built for societies of 12 to 24 players, which is the sweet spot for group rates on rooms, tee times and transfers. If you’re slightly under or over that, get in touch anyway — because every trip is tailor-made, we can usually still make the numbers work.
Does the organiser really play for free?
On most group bookings the organiser often plays free. The group rates we secure across the package typically generate enough saving to cover the organiser’s place, and we confirm exactly how that applies to your specific numbers in your written quote — no vague promises.
Are flights included in the price?

Can someone come with us to run the trip?
Yes. Alongside self-led trips we offer hosted and escorted group tours, where someone travels with your society to handle the resorts, schedules and the running order on the ground, so the organiser can finally just play. Mention it when you enquire and we’ll quote it in.
Come and play with us
Wherever you're travelling from, you're welcome on a Golf Planet hosted tour — a small group, a host with you from the first tee to the last, and every round, transfer and dinner taken care of. You just bring the clubs.
