Bucket List Golf Trip VS. Buddies Golf Trip

Buddies Golf Trips

We take a break from our regularly scheduled blog posts featuring trip guides and our tongue-in-cheek golf course reviews to provide some handy information on the type of golf trip you are going to take, or plan. Specifically, the difference between a Bucket List Golf Trip VS. Buddies Golf Trip. To some this might seem like we are splitting hairs, however, having a solid idea of the goal of your trip will help you plan, set expectations, and guarantee the best outcome possible. We will also provide tips for both types of trips. Some tips overlap both types of trips, and in some cases, the trips themselves can be on the spectrum from one type of trip to the other. It’s important to have a strong understanding of your groups goals up front.
