Memorial Tournament 2026: Group Transportation to Muirfield Village (Dublin OH)

The Memorial Tournament returns to Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio the week of June 1–7, 2026. If you're moving a group of 14+ — corporate hospitality, sponsor delegation, equipment-vendor crew, or just a fan group of buddies — Memorial is a "leave the cars at the hotel" event. The single-lane access road into the course turns every Toyota Avalon into 25 minutes of regret.

Why Memorial is uniquely tricky for group transportation

• Muirfield Village's location. It's tucked into a residential Dublin neighborhood with limited road approaches. Memorial Drive narrows down to one lane in either direction near the course gates.
• Tournament-week parking is offsite. Most general parking is at the Dublin Metro Center / Frantz Road lots — then bus shuttles into the course. For groups, your own charter cuts out two transfer points.
• Corporate hospitality has its own choreography. Sponsor pavilions, Tap Room access, the Jack Nicklaus Pavilion — each has a designated drop zone. Generic rideshares get turned around.
• Rideshare denial during peak rounds. Friday + Saturday afternoons, Uber and Lyft drivers see the Dublin pin and bail. You can't get a ride out of the course area after the leaderboard finishes.

Three kinds of Memorial group transportation

1. Corporate hospitality / sponsor delegation

If you're hosting clients in a sponsor pavilion or the Jack Nicklaus Pavilion, you need:

• Single drop at the sponsor entrance (your operator coordinates with course staff for the credentialed gate)
• Driver waits during course hours at a pre-arranged staging lot (typically outside the Muirfield ring — Tuttle Crossing or Bridge Park)
• Optional late-day pickup if your group is staying for the round + going to a post-round dinner in Bridge Park or the Short North

For 30 corporate guests, an executive 30-passenger mini-coach with leather seating and onboard restrooms handles it. 9-hour vehicle commitment. Budget $2,800–$3,800 all-in.

2. Fan-crew party bus

For a crew of 16–24 doing the tournament-then-Bridge-Park-then-Short-North run, a 20-passenger party bus with LED interior and premium sound is the move. 8-hour commitment, includes downtown Columbus pickup, course drop, course pickup, and post-round Bridge Park / Short North bar stops.

Budget: $1,900–$2,500. Per-person on 20 fans: $95–$125. Cheaper than 5 separate Ubers + a designated driver + parking.

3. Practice-round + Pro-Am photo crew

Practice rounds and Wednesday Pro-Am are the lowest-stress days to charter — fewer fans, shorter access lines, but still the same parking constraint. Equipment companies, media crews, and amateur entry groups use a 14-passenger sprinter for the day. Budget $1,400–$1,800 for an 8-hour day.

Vehicle sizing for Memorial Tournament groups

• 8–14 guests: stretch limo or 14-passenger executive sprinter
• 15–25 guests: 20-passenger party bus (fan crew) OR 25-pax executive mini-coach (corporate)
• 26–40 guests: 30- or 36-passenger party bus / mini-coach
• 40+ guests: 56-passenger motor coach (corporate hospitality with overflow)

Standard Memorial Tournament day itinerary (corporate hospitality group)

1. 8:30 a.m. — pickup at downtown Columbus hotel block (Hyatt Regency, Hilton Downtown, Renaissance, or LeVeque)
2. 9:15 a.m. — arrival at credentialed sponsor entrance (driver coordinates with course shuttle marshal)
3. 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. — round play; driver stages at pre-arranged lot in Tuttle Crossing or Bridge Park
4. 5:00 p.m. — bus pickup at sponsor entrance
5. 5:30 p.m. — drop at Bridge Park (Cap City Fine Diner, Pins Mechanical) or Short North (Northstar, Marcella's) for post-round dinner
6. 9:30 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. — hotel return loop

Memorial Tournament 2026 group transportation pricing

Tournament week carries a 10–15% premium over standard Columbus charter rates because corporate hospitality groups and equipment vendors compete for the same regional fleet. Saturday is the hardest day to book.

• 14-pax sprinter: $1,400–$1,900 for 8-hour day
• 20-pax party bus: $1,900–$2,500
• 30-pax executive mini-coach: $2,800–$3,800
• 56-pax motor coach: $2,600–$3,500

What you must confirm before booking

1. Sponsor pavilion credentialed drop zone. Course parking marshals turn away uncredentialed vehicles. Your operator needs your group's credential list + drop-zone assignment.
2. Driver waiting location during round. Streets near the course are restricted. Verify your operator has a sanctioned waiting spot — typically Bridge Park east side or Tuttle Crossing.
3. Post-round pickup timing. Friday + Saturday rounds can run 30–45 minutes long. Build that buffer in.
4. Bridge Park drop-off coordination. Cap City and Pins Mechanical sit on shared streets with tight motor courts. Verify a 30-pax bus can physically reach the drop point.
5. BYOB on the vehicle. Open container on chartered vehicles is fine in Ohio for beer / wine. Hard liquor varies by operator.
