Golf Trips with Mountain Biking
The best golf trips don't end at the 18th. Mountain Biking is the part your crew still argues about on the drive home. We tracked down 21 destinations across America where the golf is worth the flight and the mountain biking is worth the day off the course — so nobody has to pick one.
Every destination below includes detailed course breakdowns, lodging options for groups, restaurant picks, and nightlife — plus specific mountain biking venues with pricing, duration, and what to expect. Hit the planner to build a complete itinerary around your group's priorities in a couple of minutes.
These 21 destinations span 14 states across 7 regions of the country, so there's a golf-plus-mountain biking option within a short flight of most major cities. Mountain Biking 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 mountain biking 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 mountain biking 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.
