Plan a golf trip with friends using AI

The problem

Group golf trips stall on logistics: how many rounds, how much rest, who can walk 36 holes, and what it costs per person.

Why AI helps

AI can balance rounds against rest and budget and hand you a draft the group can react to. Asking it to flag what needs checking turns the draft into a to-do list instead of a set of guesses.

Step by step

1. Agree on the basics with the group: dates, area, budget, walking or carts.
2. Paste the golf trip prompt.
3. Ask it to rebalance if the plan has too many rounds or too little rest.
4. Work through the double-check list: call or check each course's site for tee times, rates and public access.
5. Ask for a packing list and share the final plan by email.

Copy-paste prompts

Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own details. AI answers vary from person to person, so we don't show a "typical" answer here; try it and see what you get.

Help me plan a [number]-day golf trip for [number] golfers to [area]. Our budget is about [amount] per person. We're [skill levels] and prefer [walking/carts, resort/public courses]. Suggest an itinerary with rounds, rest time, and meals. Mark anything I should double-check, like prices, tee times, and whether courses are open to the public.

Two of us can't play 36 holes in a day. Rework the plan so nobody plays more than 18 holes a day, and add a non-golf option for the afternoons.

Limits and safety

• Course names, rates and policies from AI may be wrong or out of date. Verify each one with the course.
• Book directly with courses and hotels, and never paste card numbers into a chat.
