Planning Your First Golf Trip: Tips to Get You Tee-Ready 🧳⛳
So, you’re thinking about going on your first golf trip - amazing! Whether you're new to the game or simply new to traveling with your clubs, planning your first golf getaway is all about blending play, purpose, and a little bit of paradise.
At Iron Lady Golf, we’ve taken women to some of the most beautiful courses in the world - from Cape Breton to Bermuda, and soon, Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. Here's our go-to guide to help you prep like a pro:
1. Pick the Right Trip for You
Not all golf trips are the same! Some are more casual and social, while others are tournament-style or coaching-intensive. Ask yourself:
Do I want to improve my game?
Do I want a balance of golf + vacation vibes?
Am I going solo or with friends?
Our Casa de Campo trip is perfect for those who want it all: legendary golf, expert coaching, and luxe relaxation.

2. Pack Smart—Not Heavy
Golf trips are active, but that doesn’t mean overpacking! A few essentials:
2–3 versatile golf outfits (check dress codes)
Comfortable golf shoes & socks
Sun protection (hat, SPF, sunglasses)
A lightweight rain jacket (just in case)
And yes—bring your own clubs if you can! You’ll feel more confident playing with your own set.
Hot tip: Check if your airline has a special policy for golf bags. Many do!
3. Prep Your Game & Mindset
If you haven’t played in a while, don’t stress. Book a range session or lesson before you go, and know that golf travel is about enjoying the experience - not perfection.
You’ll learn, laugh, and surprise yourself. Especially if you’re joining an Iron Lady Golf trip - we create a welcoming, zero-judgment zone where women thrive.
4. Capture the Magic
Golfing in a new destination is unforgettable. Take photos, journal your rounds, or even bring a travel golf buddy to share the journey. For a sneak peek at what our trips are like, check out:
