With summer upon us, now is a great time to plan a vacation. But you don’t need to go far from home to have a great time! With Ontario’s new staycation tax credit there’s even more reason to plan a trip nearby. A golf resort staycation can be the perfect choice for groups of any kind, even if you don’t play golf!
Planning a golf resort vacation for your group
When planning a staycation for a group of people it can be difficult to choose a destination that is going to have everyone excited to go. Choosing a golf resort that has a variety of other activities is a great way to please everyone in the group.

Top 3 golf resorts for a golf staycation in Ontario
While there are many golf resorts all over Ontario, here are three that stand out for several reasons. Their proximity to the GTA and wide variety of amenities and on-site activities make each of them a great choice for groups of any kind.
1. Hockley Valley
The championship golf course located at Hockley Valley was designed by a top Canadian course architect and is set in the middle of some of the most beautiful views in Ontario. The 18-hole course was built into the natural landscape, allowing the terrain to challenge the player and keep them coming back for more.
Hockley Valley also offers an on-site spa, a year-round wedding venue, wintertime skiing and multiple tasty eateries to keep everyone on the trip satisfied.
2. Deerhurst Resort
Located just 2.5 hours north of Toronto in the Muskokas, the golf course at Deerhurst is one of Canada’s most popular resort destinations. With over 700 acres and room to accommodate over 1000 guests, Deerhurst is often credited for putting Muskoka on the map as a top golf destination in Canada.
Deerhurst Resort also offers fun activities for families, work groups, and friends who are uninterested in playing golf. Whether you’re looking for a spa getaway, hiking excursions, treetop trekking, water activities or escape rooms, Deerhurst Resort has it all!
3. Cobble Beach Golf Resort
For a more relaxing staycation, the Cobble Beach Golf Resort on Georgian Bay is the perfect choice. Home to one of Canada’s top ranked golf courses and featuring an on-site full-service spa, this resort is a great setting for a low-key and enjoyable holiday close to home.
A school bus is a great transportation option
Booking a school bus to transport your group to their chosen golf resort is a great way to ensure that everyone has a great time. There are a number of reasons that using a school bus for your group transportation is a good choice, including:
- They’re very reliable – Your driver will be committed to getting you to the resort on time
- Fun – When everyone in the vehicle can visit and engage with each other without having to worry about keeping their eyes on the road, everyone will have more fun.
- Dedicated driver – Our drivers go through extensive training to make sure that they are equipped to get all passengers to their destination safely.
- Safe – Buses are inspected before and after every excursion to ensure that all safety requirements are being met.
- Budget friendly – With a variety of buses to suit any group size and budget, you’ll be able to spend more of your staycation budget at the resort rather than on the transportation.
A golf staycation is the perfect summer getaway
There are dozens of golf resorts across southern Ontario and many of them are just a short drive from the GTA. Planning a golf staycation has never been easier, or more fun for everyone attending- even if they don’t like golf!
