Getting 8, 12 or 16 golfers to the first tee on time is a logistical art form, and it’s one you shouldn’t have to master yourself. A group golf holiday in England with Golf Planet Holidays gives you one named specialist who handles every tee time, the full rooming list and all your transfers, so the only decision your group makes each morning is bacon or sausage. Trips start from £175 (≈ €195) (≈ $225) (≈ CA$325) (≈ AU$335) (≈ NZ$405) (≈ CHF 185) per person, tailor-made around your numbers, your dates and the courses you actually want to play.

We’ve been arranging golf travel since 1981, and group trips are where we’re at our best, whether that’s a stag-style weekend with the lads, an annual society outing, or a corporate away-day that mixes resort comfort with serious links golf. Base yourselves at a true golf resort, add a round or two on some of the finest courses in the North West, and let one person quietly make it all join up.

One specialist, your whole group sorted

The difference between a group trip that flows and one that fragments is who’s holding the threads. With Golf Planet Holidays, that’s one named specialist, start to finish. They block your tee times so every fourball goes out together, build the rooming list around who’s sharing, and line up the transfers between hotel and course so nobody’s working out who drives. You enquire once, you get one itinerary, and you turn up to play.

For a party of 8 to 16, that single point of contact is worth its weight in green fees. No group chat full of half-confirmed bookings, no organiser quietly losing their weekend to spreadsheets. And because every trip is built to your brief rather than pulled off a shelf, the from-£175 (≈ €195) (≈ $225) (≈ CA$325) (≈ AU$335) (≈ NZ$405) (≈ CHF 185)-per-person price reflects your group’s real choices, room split and round count, quoted in full and in GBP before you commit.

Resort bases built for groups

The right base makes a group trip. We put parties into three English resorts where golf, beds and the bar all share one address. Carden Park Hotel in Cheshire is a sprawling estate resort with its own golf, ideal as a hub for exploring the courses of the North West. Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club in East Sussex pairs two courses with comfortable rooms in the High Weald, an easy choice for groups heading down from London or in from the south coast. And Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort in Lincolnshire offers 27 holes plus a spa, so the non-golfers and the recovering golfers are both looked after.

Each of these is chosen because a group of 16 can eat, drink, sleep and play without scattering across town. That’s what keeps an England golf trip feeling like a trip together rather than a series of separate bookings that happen to overlap.

Where our specialists would stay in England

Add championship links on the Wirral and Lancashire coast

A resort base is only half the story. The real draw of grouping your trip around Cheshire and the Wirral is the calibre of links on the doorstep. Top of the list is Hoylake (Royal Liverpool), an Open Championship venue and one of the great tests in English golf. Round it out with Heswall and Caldy on the Wirral, the storied dunes of Wallasey, and West Lancashire just up the coast, and your group has a links itinerary most golfers only dream of.

Your specialist weaves these into a sensible running order: resort comfort by night, championship links by day, with transfers timed so the whole group rolls up to each first tee together. Tell us how many rounds you want and on which courses, and we’ll build the week around it.

Hosted tours, protected money, and travelling from abroad

If you’d rather not captain the trip yourselves, we also run hosted group tours, where a Golf Planet Holidays host travels with you to manage check-ins, tee-time logistics and the daily running order. It’s the natural fit for societies and corporate groups who want to focus on the golf and the evenings, not the admin.

Whoever’s organising, your money is safe. We’re ATOL Protected, and your group’s payments are held in trust with PTS and only released to us once you’ve actually travelled, so every deposit and balance is safeguarded. Groups travelling from the United States are very welcome too: the from-£175 (≈ €195) (≈ $225) (≈ CA$325) (≈ AU$335) (≈ NZ$405) (≈ CHF 185)-per-person price is for ground arrangements, with flights available as an ATOL-protected add-on, and pricing in GBP often works in your favour. Send us your numbers, dates and dream courses, and your specialist will come back with a tailor-made plan.

Frequently asked questions

How does Golf Planet Holidays organise tee times for a group of 8 to 16?

One named specialist owns your booking from first enquiry to your return home. They block-book the tee times so your fourballs go out together, build the rooming list around who’s sharing with whom, and arrange transfers between your hotel and each course. You deal with one person and one itinerary rather than a dozen separate confirmations, which is exactly what makes a 12 or 16-strong trip run smoothly.

Is my group's money protected when I book?

Yes. Golf Planet Holidays has been arranging tailor-made golf travel since 1981 and is ATOL Protected. Your money is held in trust with PTS (Protected Trust Services) and is not released to us until your group has actually travelled, so every deposit and balance your golfers pay is safeguarded from the moment you book.

Can a group from the United States book an England golf trip?

Absolutely. We regularly arrange group trips for US golfers who want to pair a resort base like Carden Park or Forest Pines with championship links at Hoylake, Wallasey and West Lancashire. Flights aren’t included in the from-£175pp (≈ €195) (≈ $225) (≈ CA$325) (≈ AU$335) (≈ NZ$405) (≈ CHF 185) ground price but can be added as an ATOL-protected option, and your specialist handles transfers from the airport so the group lands and gets straight to golf. Pricing is in GBP, which often works in your group’s favour.

Are hosted or escorted group tours available?

Yes. Alongside self-organised group breaks, we run hosted group tours where a Golf Planet Holidays host travels with you to manage check-ins, tee-time logistics and the running order each day. It’s a popular choice for societies and corporate groups who’d rather play golf and enjoy the evenings than captain the trip themselves. Ask your specialist whether a hosted tour suits your dates.
