Best Golf Trip Destinations in March for Groups
March is when the Southeast wakes up. Pinehurst, Myrtle Beach and the Lowcountry open their spring season, while the desert is still in peak form. It's one of the best months to pick from.
Southeast
Pinehurst
The "Cradle of American Golf." Pinehurst No. 2 is the U.S. Open's first anchor site, with Opens in 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047. Ten resort courses now, an eleventh opening in March 2027, and more Donald Ross golf a few minutes away.
Myrtle Beach
More than 80 courses, condo packages and a deep bench of package operators.
Kiawah Island
The Ocean Course, a Ryder Cup and PGA Championship venue, anchors five resort courses on a barrier island near Charleston.
Sea Island
Three courses on Georgia's Golden Isles, including the two that host the PGA Tour's RSM Classic. Golf here comes with a stay at the resort.
Hilton Head
Harbour Town, home of the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage, plus more than 20 courses on and around the island.
Streamsong
Three acclaimed courses on reclaimed phosphate land in central Florida. Sand dunes and big greens, nothing like typical Florida golf.
Ponte Vedra & TPC Sawgrass
TPC Sawgrass's Stadium Course and the island-green 17th, plus beach-town golf around Jacksonville.
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail
More than two dozen courses across 11 sites in Alabama. Big-time golf at a public-course price, ideal for a road trip.
Charleston
Kiawah's Ocean Course, host of the 1991 Ryder Cup and two PGA Championships, sits about an hour from Charleston's walkable historic downtown. A renovated muni and a harbor course keep the trip from being all splurge rounds.
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Alabama's Gulf Coast pairs beach houses that sleep big groups with Jerry Pate's Kiva Dunes and the state's only Arnold Palmer courses. The Flora-Bama on the state line handles the nights.
Reynolds Lake Oconee
Five resort courses by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones and Bob Cupp on a big Georgia lake, with The Ritz-Carlton as the front door. Golf comes with a stay.
Orlando
Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill, two Orange County National 18s, Nicklaus golf at Grand Cypress, ChampionsGate and Disney's courses, all within about an hour of Orlando International.
Southwest & Mountain
Scottsdale
Dozens of desert courses, easy nonstop flights from most U.S. cities, and Old Town nightlife. The default winter golf trip.
Las Vegas
Nonstops from almost everywhere, world-class nightlife and a few genuinely great courses. Bachelor parties and big birthdays.
St. George
Red-rock desert golf near Zion, led by Black Desert Resort, a PGA Tour stop since 2024. Far cheaper than Scottsdale.
Tucson
Desert resort golf at the foot of the Santa Catalina and Tucson Mountains, with Tom Fazio's Ventana Canyon courses, two layouts at Omni Tucson National, 27 holes at Starr Pass and a historic city-run course.
Dallas-Fort Worth & PGA Frisco
PGA Frisco is home to the PGA of America and Fields Ranch East, host of the 2027 PGA Championship. Pair it with a lighted par-3 course, a giant putting course and a few strong public rounds around the Metroplex.
Texas Hill Country
Limestone creeks, waterfalls and big elevation change between Austin and San Antonio. Omni Barton Creek has four courses, Horseshoe Bay has three Robert Trent Jones Sr. courses, and San Antonio adds two former Valero Texas Open venues.
Houston
A city muni that hosts both the PGA Tour's Houston Open and the LPGA's first major of the year, plus a restored early-1900s course, a replica course and a two-course resort in The Woodlands.
West Coast & Hawaii
Palm Springs
More than 100 courses across the Coachella Valley, from PGA West's Stadium Course to value desert rounds. Strong winter weather.
Maui
Kapalua's Plantation Course, the PGA Tour's season opener through 2025, plus Wailea and Kaanapali resort golf.
San Diego
A coastal city built around Torrey Pines, the city-owned U.S. Open venue on the bluffs at La Jolla, with resort and public options from Carlsbad to Coronado.
