Group Golf Holidays in Italy

The hardest part of any group golf trip isn’t the golf. It’s the coordination, the rooming requests, the friend who wants a single, the four-ball pairings, the transfer that has to wait for the late flight. When you book a group golf holiday in Italy with us, none of that lands on you.

Your named Golf Planet Holidays specialist becomes the group’s single point of contact. We hold your tee-time blocks at the right time of day, build the rooming list exactly how you want it, arrange private transfers between airport, hotel and courses, and keep the running order straight across every day of play. If twelve becomes fourteen, or two players want to switch courses, you message one person and it’s handled.

We work on enquiry rather than instant checkout for exactly this reason: a group of 8-16 deserves an itinerary built around its real needs, not a fixed package. You tell us the standard, the budget and the mood of the trip, and we shape it. And because we’re ATOL Protected with your money held in trust through PTS until you’ve travelled, the organiser carries none of the financial worry that usually comes with collecting deposits from a dozen friends.

Italy gives a group genuine variety, and we build trips around resorts and courses we know personally.

Sicily is where many groups start. Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is the headline act, a sweeping coastal estate where the Verdura course runs holes right along the Mediterranean. Inland and higher up, Picciolo Etna Golf Resort & Spa sits in the foothills of the volcano, and Il Picciolo Etna is a memorable, characterful round with Etna as your backdrop. A group can base in one and play the other for real contrast in a single trip.

Tuscany suits groups who want golf wrapped in food, wine and scenery. La Bagnaia Golf & Spa Resort near Siena gives you a handsome resort base, rolling Tuscan golf, and a spa for the non-golfers or the recovery days.

Further afield we can build in San Domenico in Puglia, the parkland and links-edged Acaya Golf Club in Salento, and Is Molas in Sardinia, a longstanding championship course on the island’s south coast. Whether your group wants one base and easy days, or a multi-region tour, we route it so the travel is sensible and the golf is the star.

Some groups want a turn-key experience with someone on the ground. For those, we can arrange hosted and escorted group tours, where a host travels with you to manage tee-time check-ins, transfers and the day-to-day running order so even your organiser gets to switch off and just play. Other groups prefer to be self-sufficient once they land, and only want the trip built and booked. Both are entirely normal, and we’ll set yours up whichever way suits.

Either way you’re choosing the format, the courses and the standard. We just make sure the logistics are invisible.

For UK groups, Italy is an easy reach. Sicily, Tuscany, Puglia and Sardinia are all served by direct or one-stop flights from the major UK airports, and we’ll line up group transfers to match your arrival so nobody’s standing around with their clubs.

For US groups, Italy is one of the best-value golf escapes in Europe right now, particularly with a strong dollar against the euro and the green fees here sitting well below comparable resort golf in the States. We bill in GBP and arrange the ground experience, the courses, resorts, rooming and transfers as a complete package; flights are an add-on we can advise on, and we’ll help you build the trip around your transatlantic connections into Catania, Palermo, Florence, Bari or Cagliari. From £350 per person for the golf and ground arrangements, it’s a genuinely compelling trip to put in front of a group.
