Part 2 – Key Decisions for Planning a Golf Trip to Scotland, Ireland, and England

In Part 2 of the series, D.J. and Connor get into the decisions that start to give an overseas golf trip its shape: when to go, where to go, which courses to play, how much golf, and how you'll get around.Connor reframes the timing question in a way most travelers haven't considered, D.J. breaks down the divide-and-conquer approach to choosing regions, and they both make the case for adding a course you've never heard of. Key Points:Why framing your travel dates as "when can't you go" is more productive than "when can you go."The daylight advantage of June and July, and the September wrinkle at St. Andrews that catches some groups off guard.How to divide and conquer: picking one or two regions for a 7-night trip, and why a third usually means shortchanging one of them.The anchor-course strategy: pick your marquee course first and build the rest of the itinerary outward from there.Why the course nobody in your group has heard of often becomes the highlight of the trip. The difference between a trip that's been planned for you and a trip that's been hosted, and why a driver-host turns transit time into part of the experience.Additional Resources:How to Plan a Golf Trip to Scotland – 14 Key DecisionsHow to Plan an Ireland Golf Trip – Breaking It DownThe Benefits of a Driver-Host on an Overseas Golf TripBest 36-Hole Days in Scotland and Ireland
