5 Golf Trips You Need to Take in 2026

We have you covered for your next big golf trip with five can’t-miss destinations (from bucket-list to surprisingly affordable) including the exact stay/play/eat game plan to book it right. In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast, we’re breaking down five golf trips you need to take this year—with real “boots on the ground” advice from places we actually played. If you’ve been staring at a group text trying to figure out where to go next (and how to make it memorable without torching the budget), this episode is your blueprint. We cover a spectrum of trips: a next-level Scottsdale, Arizona stay with golf amenities that keep the competition going long after your round, a true golf-purist bucket list escape to Sand Valley (with tips on courses, food, lodging, and why caddies matter), and a wildly underrated “budget meets bucket list” play—staying on-property at Tobacco Road in the Stewart Cabin, complete with night golf potential. We also hit two sleeper destinations that deliver major value: Outer Banks, North Carolina for shoulder-season conditions and affordable golf cottages, plus the Jersey Shore/Atlantic City area for a golf-and-nightlife weekend with hidden gem courses and even a laid-back nine-hole vibe. Expect course picks, travel timing, pricing perspective, and food/experience recommendations to help you book the right trip.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.
