What is the 18Away stay and play builder?

The 18Away stay and play builder is a simple tool that matches your group with a resort or golf house plus recommended public courses based on your destination, group size, budget, and golf vibe. It is designed to remove the guesswork from planning a golf trip.

Do I have to book a package or can I choose my own hotel and courses?

You do not have to book a fixed package. Each stay and play builder gives you curated resort and golf house options plus course recommendations, and you can book directly through the links provided or choose alternative options that better fit your group.

Which destinations have stay and play builders?

18Away is rolling out stay and play builders for top golf destinations including Scottsdale, Palm Springs, and Las Vegas, with more cities being added over time. The goal is to eventually cover many of the most popular golf trip hubs for groups and bachelor parties.

Does the stay and play builder include tee time bookings?

The stay and play builders recommend specific public courses that match your group profile, then link you directly to the course or booking partner so you can reserve your tee times. Central tee time partners do not cover every course, so direct booking helps you see the best real time options.

Who are these stay and play tools designed for?

The 18Away stay and play tools are designed for golf groups that want a trip that feels planned without having to build every detail from scratch. They work well for bachelor parties, buddies trips, mixed skill level groups, and anyone who wants resort or golf house options matched to high quality public courses.

Does it cost anything to use the stay and play builders?

No, the stay and play builders are free to use. 18Away earns revenue through trip planning products and occasional affiliate partnerships on some resort, house, and course bookings, so you can get curated recommendations without paying extra booking fees.
