What are 18Away golf trip city guides?

18Away city guides are free planning hubs for top golf trip destinations. Each guide includes public course picks for groups, where to stay, trip timing tips, itinerary ideas, and planning resources to help you organize a great weekend.

Do the city guides cover bachelor parties and group golf trips?

Yes. The guides are designed for bachelor parties, buddies trips, and group golf weekends. They include options for different budgets and vibes so you can build a trip that fits your crew.

Are the courses in the guides public and bookable?

18Away focuses on public and accessible golf experiences for real groups. Course availability can change, so each guide prioritizes widely bookable public options and practical tips for securing tee times.

The free guides help you research a destination with course recommendations, where to stay, and planning tips. Paid templates include a complete done-for-you itinerary with tee time timing strategy, day-by-day trip flow, booking shortcuts, and plug-and-play recommendations.
