Golf Trips with Horseback Riding

The best golf trips go beyond the fairway. Horseback Riding adds a dimension to your group getaway that turns a good trip into one everyone talks about for years. We've curated 21 destinations across America where world-class golf meets top-tier horseback riding — 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 horseback riding 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 21 destinations span 16 states across 7 regions of the country, so there's a golf-plus-horseback riding option within a short flight of most major cities. Horseback Riding runs from around $5 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 horseback riding 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 horseback riding 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.
