Golf getaway? Par-fect.

There’s something about a golf vacation that feels like the perfect blend of passion and play. Golfers get the thrill of world-class courses. Travel lovers get the joy of stunning destinations. And everyone goes home with memories that last far beyond the final putt.


Why golf trips are a win:

  • Courses for every skill level: from bucket-list championship layouts to relaxed resort greens,
  • Scenery that makes every round unforgettable.
  • Something for non-golfers too: spas, beaches, shopping, and excursions.
  • Resorts designed with golfers in mind: practice ranges, 19th holes, and post-round relaxation.


What to expect: Early tee times with sunrise views. Challenging yet fun fairways. Partners who are just as happy poolside or at the spa. And the kind of trip where every swing and every sunset feels like part of the experience.

Essential golf travel guide.

Golf equipment: Ship, carry or rent?

Flying with golf clubs.

Most airlines, including JetBlue, allow golf bags as checked luggage with specific size and weight restrictions. Golf bags typically count as one piece of checked luggage, but oversized or overweight fees may apply. The perk? You get to play with your own clubs and skip rental costs. Just consider a hard travel case to keep them protected in transit.

Tip: JetBlue Pluslink opens in a new window operated by external parties and may not conform to the same accessibility policies as JetBlue Cardmembers get their first checked bag free (up to 50 lbs). If your golf bag and clubs fall under that limit, you can bring them along at no extra cost.

Shipping golf clubs.

Shipping clubs to your destination can provide peace of mind and eliminate airport hassles. Services like Ship Sticks or FedEx offer door-to-door delivery, often with insurance coverage. Costs typically range from $50-150 each way, depending on distance and speed. Best for longer trips or when traveling with premium equipment..

Renting golf clubs.

Most golf destinations offer high-quality rental clubs, including premium brands like Callaway, TaylorMade, and Ping. Rental costs typically range from $40-80 per round, with multi-day discounts available. Benefits include no travel hassle, trying new equipment, and avoiding potential damage during transport. Many courses provide club fitting to match your specifications.

Golf equipment travel options:

  • Short trips (1-3 rounds): Renting clubs can be the easiest option.
  • Longer vacations (4+ rounds): Bringing your own clubs is often more economical.
  • Premium equipment users: Shipping your clubs may offer the best protection.
  • Casual golfers: Rentals keep things simple and let you try different gear.

Essential golf apparel:
