Planning a golf trip as a couple should be an incredible experience.
It is a chance to escape the daily grind, discover fantastic destinations abroad, and share your passion for the game. However, we know that the “planning” part often feels like a full-time job. From securing tee times at top international courses to finding a luxury hotel that suits you both, the logistics can quickly become a burden.
At Fairways Mixed Golf, we believe you should spend your energy on the fairway, not on a spreadsheet. We have spent years perfecting the art of the mixed couples’ golf holiday abroad, and we have learned exactly what it takes to transform a standard trip into a fantastic, stress-free international escape.
Here are our 5 steps to planning a couples golf holiday abroad that allows you to actually relax.
1. Select Top-Tier Courses That Inspire
The foundation of any great golf holiday abroad is the quality of the courses. When you are traveling as a couple, you want to play layouts that are not only challenging but also visually spectacular and welcoming. We always prioritise venues with first-class conditioning, great service, and memorable surroundings.
Take, for example, Costa Navarino in Greece. It gives couples an incredible Mediterranean setting, championship-level presentation, and a real sense that every round is part of a luxury escape. We also love destinations such as Pebble Beach where world-class conditioning, standout service, and a luxury resort atmosphere make every round feel special.
By selecting 10/10 overseas venues, we make sure every round feels like a highlight of the trip.
Quick Tips for Course Selection:
- Check the Rankings: Look for courses listed in the “Top 100” to ensure high standards.
- Variety is Key: Combine a stern championship test with a more “forgiving” layout to keep morale high.
- Proximity: Ensure the courses are within a short distance of each other to minimize travel time.
2. Delegate the Logistics to Professionals
If you want to actually relax, you must stop being the travel agent. The most stressful part of any international trip is managing the “in-between” moments: flights, transfers, club handling, check-in times, and coordinating tee times for a group.
When you join one of our curated holidays abroad, we handle every single detail. We organize luxury hotel stays in standout destinations such as Vietnam, Gran Canaria, and Pebble Beach, California, where couples can enjoy superb accommodation, great service, and easy access to fantastic golf, and ensure your tee times are booked and confirmed well in advance.
Our professional organization means that when you arrive, your only job is to head to the first tee. No more juggling overseas arrangements or worrying if every booking has lined up properly. We have seen firsthand how much more couples enjoy themselves when they are free to simply arrive and play.
3. Prioritise the Social Scene
A couples’ golf holiday abroad is about more than just the 18th green; it is about the camaraderie that happens afterward. One of our core USPs is the group environment we create. We do not just send you off to play; we bring everyone together for fantastic dinners and relaxed evenings.
At our world-class resorts, social dining becomes a big part of the experience. These are the moments when we share a bottle of wine, talk through the day’s best shots, and enjoy being away with like-minded couples in a beautiful setting.
Why Socializing Matters:
- Meeting Like-Minded People: You are surrounded by couples who share your interests and love of golf travel.
- Relaxed Evenings: No need to spend hours searching for the right restaurant; we have already chosen great venues.
- Celebratory Atmosphere: We love celebrating achievements and sharing those standout moments together across our international destinations.
4. Adopt a Fun, Mixed Format
For a truly relaxing holiday abroad, the competition should be engaging but never overwhelming. We use mixed-pairs formats that allow couples to work together. This removes the individual pressure and replaces it with a fun, shared goal.
These formats create the fantastic mix of friendly competition and shared achievement that makes our overseas tours so enjoyable. It keeps everyone involved without the pressure of a professional tournament.
5. Find Your Community
The final step to a relaxing holiday abroad is knowing you are in good company. Traveling with a group of like-minded mixed couples adds a layer of comfort, confidence, and enjoyment. You are not just another tourist; you are part of a welcoming overseas golf tour.
Our guests often tell us that the best part of our holidays is the friendships they form. Whether it is the golf, the sunshine, or the social atmosphere across our international destinations, the sense of recognition and shared achievement is what brings people back year after year.
