Planning a golf getaway with your crew? The Vancouver Island Golf Trail wants to make the group chat plans a reality so you can experience the best golf courses on Vancouver Island—think ocean views, lush fairways, and ready-made packages that take the stress out of planning. Here’s how to make your trip easy, fun, and unforgettable.
Get the Group Together
First things first: who’s in? Confirming the size of your crew always makes things easier. It gives you the advantage of deciding what golf package to purchase.
- What kind of vibe is everyone going for? Relaxed or competitive? Budget or higher-end?
- How long are you planning to go for—2 days? 3? Maybe extend it to a 4+ (we don’t blame you).
Pro-Tip: Ensure everyone is on board and ready to move forward with the trip. If the group grows, book accommodations early so there’s space for all, and if you cover the booking, make sure everyone reimburses their share.
Lock in those Dates
Check when everyone’s free and pick a date that works. Vancouver Island is great year-round thanks to:
- Beautiful courses with lush coastal conditions
- Mild weather
- Tons of cool stuff to do off the course
Pro Tip: Choose your season, whether you’re escaping winter, enjoying colourful fall scenery, welcoming the freshness of spring, or embracing the buzz of summer. Once the group has set the dates, add them to a shared calendar along with travel plans, accommodations, and any key reservations so everything is organized and accessible for everyone.
