How to Plan a Large-Group Golf Trip to Myrtle Beach
Planning a golf trip for four buddies is easy. Planning one for 20, 40, or even 80? That's a different animal entirely. Tee sheets, lodging blocks, dinner reservations, splitting the bill fairly — it adds up fast, and it's exactly why big groups almost always come out ahead by working with a golf packager instead of trying to DIY the whole thing.
Why a Packager Matters More for Big Groups
A golf packager isn't just a nice-to-have for a large trip — it's basically a necessity. Here's why:
They can actually get you tee times. Getting a group of 20, 40, or 80 golfers onto the same course, at the same time (or close to it), is tough to pull off with a single phone call, especially at popular courses during peak season. Packagers have existing relationships with courses and can often lock in consecutive tee times or a shotgun start big enough for the whole group — something an individual caller usually can't arrange, no matter how large or small the crowd.
They coordinate lodging that fits your whole crew. Whether you need one big house for 20, or enough units across a resort to house 40 or 80 golfers, packagers know the inventory and can match your group size instead of you piecing together dozens of separate reservations and hoping everyone ends up close together.
They simplify the money. Big groups mean big logistics — deposits, per-person costs, cancellations, add-ons — and that only gets more complicated as a group grows from 20 to 40 to 80. A packager consolidates all of that into one clean process instead of you playing accountant for dozens of guys.
They know how to keep a big group moving together on the same course. When your whole group — no matter how large or small — is playing the same course each day, pace of play matters even more. A good packager will help arrange the right tee time structure — like a shotgun start or tightly spaced tee times — so everyone starts and finishes close together instead of the group getting spread out and split up across the round.
They're your single point of contact when something changes. Weather delays, a course closure and the like — when you're managing a group of 20, 40, or 80 people, having one person to call to fix it beats trying to coordinate solo.
The Bottom Line
The bigger the group, the more a package company pays for itself in saved time, saved headaches, and a smoother trip overall. It's the difference between spending weeks on logistics and just showing up ready to golf.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why should I use a golf packager for a large group trip?
A golf package company helps secure tee times that keep a large group — whether that's 20, 40, or 80 golfers — playing the same course together, coordinate lodging for larger parties, simplify billing, and manage logistics that become much harder to handle without one as group size increases.
- How many people is considered a "large group" for a golf trip?
Groups of roughly 12 or more golfers typically benefit from working with a packager, and that benefit only grows as group size scales up to 20, 40, or even 80 golfers, where tee time and lodging coordination becomes significantly more complex.
- Can a golf packager help with lodging for a big group?
Yes — packagers have access to lodging inventory suited for larger groups, whether that's a single large house for 20 or enough units across a resort to comfortably house 40 or 80 golfers.
- Does using a packager cost more than booking everything myself?
Not necessarily. Packagers often have access to group rates and existing course relationships that can offset or even reduce costs compared to booking everything individually.
