If you’ve ever tried organising a golf trip, you know it can get complicated fast. One minute you’re excitedly picturing the first tee shot, the next you’re juggling tee times, chasing payments, and trying to keep everyone happy.
That’s why Golf Sherpa exists, to take all the admin off your plate and give you a trip that’s as smooth as a perfectly rolled green. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic links break in Scotland or a weekend escape to one of wider UK premier courses, here’s why your next golf getaway needs a sherpa.
1. They’ll Help You Choose the Perfect Destination
Not sure where to go? Golf Sherpa makes it simple, tell them your group size, how far you want to travel, experience level and what kind of experience you’re after.
They’ll return with a carefully chosen shortlist of courses, stays and experiences that match your group’s style. From the Tour level fairways of Dundonald Links to the Hidden gem private courses such as Meldrum House or traditional natural courses like Machrihanish Dunes they’ll find the right fit, saving you hours searching on Google.
Accommodation is equally well-matched to your group, from five-star lodges with private putting greens to boutique Loch view rooms with character, all selected to fit your budget and preferences.
2. A Custom App That Keeps Everyone Organised
Every Golf Sherpa booking comes with free access to their event management app bringing every aspect of your tailored trip into one place.
The custom event app adds that tour-like buzz to your trip. Track every round, see live leaderboards, manage formats, check your itinerary, and reminders/updates sent straight to everyone’s phone. It’s like running a mini tour event, without you having to lift a finger. Everyone knows where they’re going, when they’re swinging, and who’s currently sitting top of the leaderboard.
3. Planning Beyond the Fairways
Golf Sherpa doesn’t stop at the golf. Their “off-course” planning is next level as well: distillery tours/whisky tasting, clay pigeon shooting, spa sessions, dinner reservations, even nightlife recommendations. Perfect for group getaways, couple retreats or corporate escapes where golf is only half the story.
4. Trips Tailored and Planned to a Tee
Every golf group has its own needs and Golf Sherpa’s three-tiered service makes sure your trip is planned to match it perfectly. Whether you’re looking for that little bit of guidance to take the hassle out of the trip or are seeking a once-in-a-lifetime event, there’s a package that fits.
The Yardage Book: Happy to “pay and play”? This package delivers everything you need to turn up and enjoy. Teams selected and paired for you, recommended formats selected for the courses you’re playing. You get all the organisation, without losing the laid-back feel.
The Caddie: Want to go bigger? With The Caddie package, Golf Sherpa designs your trip around custom competitions, team draft and curated pairings, and course insights sent directly to your app. Think of it as having a professional caddie in your pocket, shaping every detail to keep the competition fun and good times going.
The Sherpa: For groups who want something completely unique. This is a fully bespoke golf adventure, designed from the ground up. Multi-course tours, premium venues, exclusive off-course experiences, and special touches you won’t find in any other package. It’s not just a golf trip; it’s your group’s personal Masters.
No matter which you choose, the result is the same: a golf trip that runs flawlessly, feels unforgettable, and gives you more time to focus on the important things.
5. They’re Three Friends Who Know What It Takes to Plan a Trip
Golf Sherpa is not a faceless booking engine. They’re three friends who’ve spent years organising golf trips for their own groups and we know exactly how quickly the excitement can turn into admin overload. It’s why they started Golf Sherpa, to save other organisers from the pain and ensure a group never leaves a trip feeling disappointed.
With Golf Sherpa, there’s no chasing payments (a split payment system means everyone pays directly, on time). No more ‘what’s the plan texts’ (you get a clear, shared itinerary in your app, complete with tee times, pairings, formats, and live scoring). And if you need advice or a tweak to your trip? You’ll speak directly to one of the team, real golfers who know the pitfalls to avoid and how to get the most out of a trip
The Takeaway
Golf Sherpa was created by three friends who looked at existing package golf trips and thought, “Wouldn’t this be better if…”. They genuinely care about making your trip great and that’s why they take care of all the on-course and off-course planning, letting you focus on what’s important to you.
Whether you’re seeking competitive competition, hoping to unearth hidden gem courses, or just looking for the best place to relax and make memories with friends, Golf Sherpa has you covered.
