After this, you’ll feel like, “Yep, I’ve got this.”
Q: How do I even start planning a group golf trip?
A: Start simple: Know who’s in, pick your dates, and figure out the vibe (laid-back, luxe, active, or all about the spa). Once that’s sorted, your itinerary will come together naturally.
Tag in Golf Vancouver Island: We make planning a golf trip feel effortless. With 11 championship courses, a range of hand-picked accommodations (including new, spacious group options like Fairwinds Residences in Parksville), and connections with trusted local partners, we can handle the logistics for you. Just fill out a quote request, or better yet, call us, and we’ll take it from there.
Q: How many people is ideal?
A: While you can absolutely go with the number of people you already have planned, group trips work best with numbers that pair up evenly—think 4, 8, 10, or 12.
Golf Vancouver Island Can Help: We love assisting golfers to design unforgettable getaways. We’ll suggest accommodations with shared spaces, golf courses that suit a range of skills, and the best ways to keep everyone happy (including you, the planner 😁).
Q: Do we need to rent cars?
A: Transportation depends on your location and itinerary. While car rentals are one option, many planners prefer pre-arranged transport to make things seamless.
Golf Vancouver Island has Options: We partner with trusted providers like LA Limousine and Ambassador Transportation to help with group shuttles in select regions, which are especially convenient for getting from your hotel to the course. (Note: transportation availability varies by location, so chat with us about your itinerary.)
Q: What kind of accommodations work best for groups?
A: Look for places with suites, adjoining rooms, or shared gathering spaces. Patios, kitchens, and lounges turn downtime into bonding time.
With Golf Vancouver Island: Picking the right vibe for your group takes a bit of discovery. Take Parksville Qualicum Beach as an example. From the rustic-luxury vibe of Tigh-Na-Mara to the oceanfront comfort of The Beach Club Resort or the Bayside Oceanfront Resort, and now, larger group-friendly options like Fairwinds Residences, we have accommodations that feel just right. Bonus: many come with spas, restaurants, and ocean views.
Q: What else is there to do beyond golf?
A: Golf might be the anchor for your upcoming visit, but the trip is about connection and fun. Think spa days, wine tasting, beach strolls, or adventure activities.
Golf Vancouver Island Recommends:
- Spa Day Head to one of the many signature spas on the Island for a group treatment. (psst! Grotto Spa at Tigh-Na-Mara in Parksville and Immersion Spa + Wellness at Naturally Pacific Resort in Campbell River. You’re welcome!)
- Vineyard Vibes Plan a wine tasting in Cowichan Valley.
- Nature Reset? Go whale watching with Prince of Whales in the south and Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours in the north. Prefer to stay on land? You can explore the seaside at any of the Island’s beach access points, like Parksville’s famous, yet peaceful beach.
- A Little Adventure? Try the epic views from the Malahat SkyWalk, explore endless trails in West Coast forests, or take to the water and swap the golf clubs for a paddle as you SUP or kayak on the calm, protected waters of the Salish Sea.
Need help planning downtime? We’ll balance your itinerary with just the right mix of play and pampering.
Q: What kind of budget should we plan for?
A: For summer trips, a good ballpark is $500–$1500 per person. This varies depending on the length of stay, transportation needs, accommodation choices, additional activities, and other factors.
Golf Vancouver Island offers flexibility: Our customizable packages can match your budget and expectations. Whether you’re going full luxury or keeping things cozy, we’ll help you design the perfect mix.
Q: Will it be hard to book tee times for the whole group?
A: Calling around yourself can be tricky. Popular courses fill up quickly, especially in summer, and it can be hard to coordinate your itinerary with the appropriate tee times. Additionally, many golf courses limit public tee time bookings to only a few weeks in advance.
Golf Vancouver Island can help: This is where we shine. Because of our relationships with all 11 courses, we can often book you well ahead of time. If you were to call the courses directly, you’d likely be added to a waitlist. Contact us early, and we’ll get your group locked in.
