Chuck em in the boot and take them to the field/woods/nature reserve
I never do all 3 together but purely because of Sophie's fear aggression as it's not easy to handle 3 if she gets agitated If I had three well trained/well behaved then I'm sure it'd be fine
We have 2 labs and a spaniel, and walk them all together.
Our walks are usually half pavement and half field
Im lucky as they walk well together, with my 2 labs walk on my right and my spaniel on the left...... only problem is when all three want to **** their leg on the same tree
I am still hoping for three labs and it is my intention to walk them all together. (Might end up in a divorce before it happens though ) I have managed to take my two and two of the Labrador Welfare dogs out altogether. The Lab Welfare dogs were not allowed off lead and it was hard work encouraging them to heel, involved a lot of stop-start-wait, and aching arms, however it was made easier by allowing mine off when we reached the woods.
Sounds like you are looking at three, so if you have any tips on how to manage it without killing my OH I would be very pleased to hear

I currently have 2 and a foster. I walk them all together without a problem. I had 4 dogs up till 3 days ago. I just throw them all in the boot and drive to a very large field and let them all off.
I find people just avoid me when they see me with lots of dogs
I can do my two and foster Zak on a lead walk but it can be a bit tricky when they all see a cat
We don't have pavements with us so we don't do a lot of pavement walking but its perfectly plausible to have them all walking nicely!
Thing is.... the third dog generally does what the first two do! So realistically if you don't have the first 2 walking nicely together then likelyhood is it'll will be hard to get all three to do it! I've a cute picture taken last christmas when Zephyr was still quite young. We never really worked too hard at that point to have him walk nicely. He just did what the others did!

When I had 3, I would mostly walk them together, but it was hard work at times. I now just have 2, and mainly walk them separately for several reasons: firstly because Taboo has fear aggression (like your Sophie, Jammy17) and I too agree, it isn't easy to handle situations when you have another dog or dogs with you, so walking him on his own makes life easier. Secondly, I think it's nice to have some 1-2-1 time with them and I think they enjoy it too. Thirdly, they have different needs on their Off lead walk. Layla can't have much ball play because she has bad hips, so she likes to dig instead! Taboo loves his ball, so on his own he can have as much ball play as he wants!
They then get walked together ( lead walk) later in the day/ evening .
