Golf Trips

The listing that names the hole gets the foursome

A golf trip is four guys, four tee times, and one house within a wedge of the first tee. The resort hotels price for it. The homes along the fairways are run by managers who put the hole number in the listing because that is the only fact the group cares about.

That is the rule for this club: the listing names the course. Three destinations to start. Pinehurst, where fall is peak. Scottsdale, October to April. Bandon, year-round.

Ten homes, four managers

Sandhills Vacation Rentals, Vacasa, SkyRun Scottsdale, Bandon Vistas. Four in Pinehurst, four in Scottsdale, two in Bandon.

Sandhills wrote the listings I want everyone to copy. Five on 5 says the third fairway of Pinehurst No. 5. 60 Firestone Lane says right on No. 3 with views of the ninth green and tenth tee. Albatross says watch players on No. 5 from behind the home. In Scottsdale, Vacasa's Troon Balancing Rock Home says next to the Monument Course between the third and fourth holes, and SkyRun's Grayhawk home says at the 18th. Bandon Vistas' Home on the Range says a wedge to the first tee at Bandon Crossings, driving range steps out the door, sleeps sixteen, and names all five Bandon Dunes courses.

Which ones are on the course, and which are near it

Six of the ten name a hole, a tee, or a fairway. Easy Living on the Greens says along Troon North with on-site golf and stops there. The other three name the course and give a distance, and the page carries the distance instead of fudging it. Irons & Woods is one mile from the Pinehurst Country Club clubhouse. Sonoran Sunsets is 5.3 miles from Troon North and 8.1 from TPC Scottsdale. Dunes House at Bandon is five miles from Crossings and fifteen minutes from Bandon Dunes, oceanfront, sleeps ten.

Bandon is two homes because that is what a manager with its own booking site and a listing that names the course produced. When there is a third, it goes on. Not a ranking.

Who should own this

A golf travel creator, or a course's stay-and-play desk. The desk already has the foursome on the phone and no page to send them to.

For the managers

Every link carries a tag. Check dates sends the guest's dates and party size to you and opens your page. Changes: hello@stayclubs.com, same day.

Put the hole in the listing. The group is only reading for that.
