Golf Trip Souvenirs: How to Remember a Bucket-List Round

Golf Trip Souvenirs: How to Remember a Bucket-List Round

Golf trips get planned in winter and played in spring and summer. A long weekend with friends, a bucket-list course, a links trip abroad - the round is over in four hours, but the story lasts for years. The pro shop cap usually does not.

Here is what to collect on the day, and how to turn it into something better than a souvenir.

Collect these on the day

  1. The scorecard - signed by everyone in the group.
  2. A photo on the first tee and one on the signature hole.
  3. A ball from the round, marked with the date.
  4. The yardage book or course guide - it is the map you will want later.
  5. A note of the best moment - the birdie, the impossible up-and-down, the shot into the water.

Souvenirs worth keeping

1. A 3D map of the course

A layered wooden map of the course you travelled for is the most personal souvenir a golf trip can produce.

The 3D golf course map carries every hole of the course under acrylic, with a golfer in the swing pose you choose. For a single round with photo and card, the golf scorecard frame with photo. More in golf course map wall art.

2. A wall of trip courses

If the group travels every year, build a wall: one course map per trip. It becomes a timeline of the friendship. See man cave golf decor ideas.

3. A gift for the organizer

Someone always plans the trip. A course map from the group is the perfect thank-you. See golf buddy gifts.

If something special happens

Holes in one happen on trips more often than you would think - new courses, relaxed swings. If it happens, ask the pro shop for the flag and get the card signed. See how to display a hole in one ball and flag.

A note on logos

Course logos and crests are trademarks. We do not reproduce them without written permission from the course, but the layout, the course name and your own wording tell the story perfectly well.

Frequently asked questions

Can you map a course abroad?
Yes - any course, anywhere. We work from published layouts and aerial references.

Should I order before or after the trip?
After - so you can include the date, the scores and a photo. Every piece is made to order: 3–7 business days of production, then 10–20 business days shipping to the US. See our shipping policy.

Can each person in the group get one?
Yes. Order one per golfer, each personalized. For more than five, message us first.
