Golf Trips with Fishing
The best golf trips go beyond the fairway. Fishing adds a dimension to your group getaway that turns a good trip into one everyone talks about for years. We've curated 101 destinations across America where world-class golf meets top-tier fishing — so your crew never has to choose between a great round and a great time.
Every destination below includes detailed course breakdowns, lodging options for groups, restaurant picks, and nightlife — plus specific fishing venues with pricing, duration, and what to expect. Hit the planner to build a complete itinerary around your group's priorities in under 60 seconds.
These 101 destinations span 39 states across 9 regions of the country, so there's a golf-plus-fishing option within a short flight of most major cities. Fishing runs from around $0 per person at the most affordable spot on the list, with plenty of upgrade options if the group wants to splurge on one big activity for the trip.
The best group trips usually pencil in fishing for a half-day between rounds — morning tee time, afternoon activity, dinner after — rather than trying to squeeze it in around a full 36-hole day. If your crew wants fishing to be the centerpiece rather than a side quest, several of the destinations below are built around it, with courses close enough to town that the golf doesn't have to compete for calendar space.
