Why Thailand Is Perfect for Small Golf Groups: The Ultimate Golf Holiday in 2026
It’s time to sit down and start thinking about where your golf group should go next.
Do you keep returning to Portugal or Spain?
You could – they’re great destinations after all – but they’re getting busier, tee times are harder to secure, and, well… you’ve all been before. Look a little further afield and you’ll discover options that offer far more for your time and money.
If you look towards Thailand, you may find exactly what you’ve been missing.
Why Golf Groups Keep Repeating Destinations
Most golf groups have specific criteria to meet, and finding that perfect balance can take some doing. That’s why so many people keep going back to the same places – it’s easy and familiar.
But does “easy” really mean “best”?
Let’s look at why we believe Thailand should be your Ultimate Golf Holiday for 2026 – and why you might regret not going sooner. We certainly did.
The Flight Time Myth (And the Reality)
The biggest reason people hesitate over Thailand is the flight time. And yes, distance is distance – we can’t change that. But we can look at the reality:
- Flying to and from Thailand is long enough to sleep properly.
- If you’re short on days off, flights effectively become your “hotel nights in the sky.”
- You arrive refreshed, not drained.
More importantly, most golf groups now prefer 7 nights or longer, and this is where Thailand becomes unbeatable in value.
Once you compare the full trip – hotels, golf, weather, food, service – Thailand quickly becomes more cost-effective than popular European destinations.
The Courses: All Hits, No Fillers
Thailand delivers one thing better than anywhere else: consistently premium golf.
You can play a variety of top-quality courses throughout your trip – no repeats, and no dropping down in standard just to fill the schedule. Thailand now boasts over 150 international-standard golf courses, with many ranked among the best in Asia.
We can tailor your perfect group itinerary to include some of the finest fairways your FootJoys will ever step on:
- Thai Country Club – a former Tiger Woods victory track
- Siam Country Club – world-class layouts in Pattaya
- Black Mountain – one of Asia’s iconic championship courses
- Robinswood – host venue of the Legends Golf Tour
Unlike Europe, where group tee times are becoming almost impossible to secure (and where groups are often split up or forced into two-tee starts), our partners in Thailand allow us to secure prime tee times exclusively for your group.
Hotels for Every Style of Golf Group
Thailand is blessed with an incredible range of accommodation options ideal for golfers:
- Beachfront hotels
- Luxury city hotels
- Fairway-side resorts
- Private pool villas with butlers (perfect for groups)
Wherever you want to stay, we can match you to the right property in the right location.
The Weather: Goodbye Winter Golf Blues
We’ve all experienced those winter golf “getaways” in Europe: you head off chasing sunshine and instead find grey skies and chilly mornings.
In Thailand?
You’d struggle to find chilly weather ever.
Expect:
- 30°C
- Blue skies
- Dry fairways
- Perfect golf conditions
Every. Single. Day.
Service, Caddies & Buggies: A Golf Experience Like No Other
Thailand leads the world in golfer service.
You’re treated like golf royalty from the moment you arrive.
Clubhouses often resemble luxury hotels with:
- Spacious locker rooms
- Beautiful showers
- Hot tubs and jacuzzi
- Exceptional restaurants and bars
Every round includes your own caddie and buggy. That means:
- Clubs cleaned
- Putts lined up
- Distances guided
- Club selection assisted
- Stress removed
You simply swing, enjoy, and score low.
Après Golf: Ice-Cold Beers and Incredible Food
When the final putt drops, Thailand shines even brighter.
- Ice-cold beers at 1990’s prices
- Amazing food (from street eats to fine dining)
- Fun nightlife
- Relaxed social atmosphere
Your group camaraderie will be on fire long after you leave the course.
