The Golf Society Captain’s Handbook: Organising a Stress-Free Trip to Costa del Sol

The Burden of the Captain

If you have been voted «Captain» for this year’s golf trip to Spain, you know it is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you get to choose the courses and the formats. On the other hand, you are essentially an unpaid travel agent responsible for 12, 16, or 24 guys who just want to play and party.

The number one friction point in any society trip is Logistics. If the rental cars are too small, if someone gets lost on the way to the course, or if the «designated driver» system causes arguments, the blame falls on you.

Why Private Transport is Your Best Friend

At Bus Costa del Sol, we act as the Captain’s Assistant. Here is why savvy organizers book a private bus for the duration of the trip:

• No «Luggage Tetris»: You know the drill. You arrive at Malaga Airport with 16 tour bags and 16 suitcases. The rental car company gives you four estate cars. It doesn’t fit. You spend an hour trying to jam drivers into backseats. With our Golf-Spec Minibuses and Trailers, everything is loaded in 5 minutes. No stress.
• Herd Management: Getting 16 people to leave a hotel lobby at the same time is like herding cats. When you have a bus waiting outside with the engine running, people move faster. You ensure everyone arrives at the Tee Time together.
• Financial Transparency: Collecting petrol money and toll road fees from 4 different car groups is a nightmare. With a bus, you pay a fixed price per head upfront. It makes the spreadsheet much simpler.
