Flying Private for Golf Trips: Convenience, Customization, and Club Access

May 1

There’s a reason golf has always been tied to private aviation. Whether you’re planning a weekend with friends, hosting clients, or heading to a tournament across the country, flying private transforms a golf trip into a true luxury experience –one that’s seamless, flexible, and built entirely around your swing.

At PorterJets, we regularly fly clients to and from the world’s most exclusive golf destinations –with clubs in tow and tee times protected. Here’s why more golfers are choosing private jet charter for their next getaway, and how we make it easy.

1. Travel on Your Terms – Not the Airline’s

Tee times aren’t flexible –but commercial flight schedules often are.

Flying private gives you control over:

Departure times that align with your round –not red-eyes or layovers

Access to smaller regional airports closer to top-tier courses

Fast, stress-free boarding so you’re on the green, not in the terminal

The ability to schedule return legs around your final day, not the airline’s

For many of our golf travelers, it means an extra 18 holes instead of an early checkout and a lost day of travel.

2. Bring Your Clubs – No Baggage Drama

Golfers know: flying commercial with gear is a risk. Lost bags, delayed connections, and airline restrictions can derail an entire weekend.

Flying with PorterJets means:

Your clubs are handled directly at the private terminal

There are no oversized baggage fees or limits

You can travel with extra gear –shoes, training equipment, or even backup sets

We’ll even arrange club cleaning or storage between flights if needed

And yes –your gear travels in the cabin with you, not bounced through conveyor belts behind the scenes.

3. Go Where Commercial Flights Can’t

Some of the world’s best golf courses aren’t near major hubs. With commercial airlines, that means connecting flights, long drives, and wasted time.

Private jets can land at airports just minutes from:

Pinehurst, NC

Bandon Dunes, OR

Pebble Beach, CA

Streamsong, FL

The Hamptons, NY

Scottsdale, AZ

St. Andrews (via direct routing into Edinburgh or Dundee)

Your golf trip starts when you step on board –not after the rental car and the second leg.

4. The Ideal Way to Host Clients or Friends

Whether you’re entertaining a key client or planning a guys’ weekend, a private jet adds comfort, privacy, and cohesion from start to finish.

With PorterJets, you can:

Customize in-flight catering –from brunch and bourbon to post-round recovery

Enjoy open seating for conversation, collaboration, or celebration

Set the tone with curated music, drinks, or a branded welcome kit

Coordinate villa rentals, tee times, restaurant reservations, and ground transport through our Lifestyle Services team

And if you want a post-round gift or custom swag on each seat? We’ll handle that, too.

5. Perfect for Tournaments, Retreats, and Team Bonding

We fly groups to:

Corporate retreats with course time built in

Charity tournaments and celebrity pro-ams

Member/guest weekends and regional club events

National or international golf destinations (including Scotland, Ireland, and the Caribbean)

No matter the size of your group or how specific the itinerary, we’ll handle every detail –so all you have to worry about is your short game.

Final Thoughts

Flying private for a golf trip isn’t just about arriving in style –it’s about protecting the time, gear, and experience that make the game worth traveling for.

At PorterJets, we understand that the trip starts long before the first tee –and doesn’t end until you’re home, rested, and maybe a few strokes better than before.

Wherever you’re playing next, we’ll get you there –comfortably, securely, and right on time.
