Whether your destination is domestic or international, the simplest way to maximize your time on the golf course is by flying private:
- Your tee time sets the schedule with flights arranged around your preferred arrival and departure times.
- Go from tarmac to tee in record time with the convenience of quick and easy departures and access to smaller, regional airports that are often closer to premier golf clubs.
- No set baggage allowance means you can travel with multiple golf bags and rest easy knowing they are stored safely.
- Bypass crowded terminals and be on your way to the golf course typically just minutes after arrival.
Read on to see how the convenience of flying a private jet charter can enhance your next golf trip:
Los Angeles to Scottsdale, Arizona
Gulfstream G200: 150 cu. ft external baggage compartment holds 6+ golf bags
Scottsdale is a premier year-round golf destination, boasting more than 300 sunny days per year to enjoy some of the finest golf courses in the country. Choose from 50 public and resort courses within city limits and more than 200 in the surrounding region, including TPC Scottsdale (home of the WM Phoenix Open) and the hallmark Troon North Golf Club.
Travel in spacious comfort from Los Angeles’s Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) to Scottsdale Airport (SLD) in our 10-passenger Gulfstream G200 in 1 hour. The short, approximately 325 nautical mile distance is well-suited to a quick golf day trip.
Naples, Florida to Scotland
Gulfstream G650ER: 195 cubic feet in-flight accessible baggage compartment holds 10+ golf bags
Golf originated in Scotland in the 15th century, so it’s no surprise that the country is home to some of the best courses in the world. Best played May through September, 550+ courses are spread across five distinct golfing regions: St Andrews (Fife), Ayrshire, East Lothian, the Highlands, and Aberdeen. Scotland’s historic courses, including St Andrews Old Course (1754), Carnoustie (1835) and Muirfield (1891), top most golfers’ bucket lists.
Depart “the Golf Capital of the World” from Naples Municipal Airport (APF) in our ultra-long range Gulfstream G650ER and arrive 8 hours later at the “Home of Golf,” touching down at Leuchars Airport (EGQL) — just 10 minutes from the historic St Andrews Links.
Pebble Beach to Carlsbad, California
Citation CJ3: 75 cubic feet baggage compartment holds 4+ golf bags
The world-renowned oceanfront golf destination on California’s Monterey Peninsula is best known for the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links. Opened in 1919, it’s widely considered among the top public courses in the country. The course, which features a number of spectacular but challenging holes, has been the stunning setting for six U.S. Opens and is frequented by PGA Tour professionals and celebrities.
Enjoy 18-holes and be home in time for dinner, flying in our Citation CJ3 from Carlsbad (KCRQ) to Monterey (KMRY) in approximately 1 hour.
Orange County, California to Hamptons
Citation Sovereign: 135 cubic foot baggage compartment holds 6+ golf bags
Swap West Coast golf for the East Coast, specifically the historic, top-rated courses of the Hamptons. Compared to the year-round parkland-style resort courses of Orange County, golf in the Hamptons is defined by ultra-exclusive links-style private clubs featuring rugged layouts with play typically limited to the warmer months. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club and the National Golf Links of America in Southampton are often ranked among the top 10 in the United States.
Our Orange County-based Citation Sovereign is an excellent value—combining an exceptionally generous cabin with long-range capability—for the roughly 5-hour transcontinental flight from John Wayne Airport (SNA) to Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK), placing you squarely in the middle of the Hamptons action.
Scottsdale, Arizona to Los Angeles
G200: 150 cu. ft external baggage compartment holds 6+ golf bags
When teeing up against a desert backdrop gets stale, head to Los Angeles to experience a diverse range of scenery—at nationally top-ranked courses. From the gentle Pacific Palisades coastal breezes at the Riviera Country Club to the dramatic canyon topography of the historic Los Angeles Country Club and the Bel-Air Country Club tucked in the Hollywood Hills, all have been conceived to maximize the scenic Southern California vistas. While many of the clubs are ultra-exclusive and private, there are a number of public courses, including Rustic Canyon Golf Course, which has been recognized as one of the best in the state.
Our Scottsdale-based Gulfstream G200 is one of the fastest mid-sized jets, combining a spacious, largest-in-class 6’3” tall, 868 cubic-foot cabin with exceptional fuel economy—well-suited to traveling both short and long distances in comfort. Arrive at Los Angeles’ premier general aviation airport, Van Nuys Airport (VNY) from Scottsdale Airport (SLD) in approximately 1 hour.
