Who is going on your golfing trip?

First and foremost, Your Golf Travel will want to know who is going on your holiday?

Is it a mixed group? a solo trip, a holiday with good friends, a golf weekend with family, a Ryder Cup style match or a stag or hen weekend? If you're thinking of travelling as a group then please let your specialist know.

Things for you to consider are everyone's golfing ability level and whether you want everyone to play competitively or just for fun and general enjoyment. Other things to consider are whether you want to play on the same course or if you want a multi course holiday.

Furthermore, does your group want to visit local attractions, dine out or stay at a resort, and want an all inclusive package and nightlife options for your trip?

What golf courses can you play?

We all have dreams and grand designs of playing the world's best golf courses, but we will ensure that these courses will suit your group, are accessible and within your budget. Whether you want to play unlimited golf or want to focus on a selection of quality courses, our team can advise accordingly.

We will help you select courses with ground and terrain that will appeal to everyone so everyone can get round and enjoy their rounds including on courses only for walking, ones that need caddies and ones with buggies. It is important not to waste time researching or playing courses that will be unsuitable for you or your group Once we have narrowed down a number of hotels, destinations or golf resorts, we will start looking into the courses that they can offer you and your group.

Golfing resorts often showcase their courses hole by hole so that you can decide as a group whether they are appropriate or not depending on experience and expertise on the golf course. Some of the more well known and challenging golf courses around will put handicap restrictions on all players and will have other local rules that need to be abided with.

Organised all your other activities off the golf course?

Your Golf Travel likes to allow you to explore destinations at your own pace and advise setting aside time to visit the best local tourist attractions. Check out local traditional villages and historical, medieval towns or visit the nearest theme parks.

Have you secured your golf tee times without undue delay?

We always advise that you lock in your preferred tee times as early as possible and don't leave it to the last minute to reserve them. This is very important so the sooner the better and we will give you the widest bunch of golf options at the most affordable prices.

Whether it is sorting flights, car hire, club rentals or other elements of your trip, the sooner you make a reservation with your resort or golf courses, the more options you will have available to your group and you never want to miss out!

How to get you and your golf clubs to the courses & hotels?

We know that flying with golf clubs and kit around the world can be challenging at times. Golf clubs are big, clunky and heavy plus lugging them around crowded airports can be tiring for you and your group.

Sometimes you may incur additional costs with your airline to place them in the hold, and you can lose valuable time waiting around the carousel once you arrive. Our team of specialists will advise you on how to save time and money in this regard.

As an example we offer VIP baggage transfer services around the world as well with several seamless door to door shipping services. This means that all your golf clubs would be picked up from your home and delivered to where you are staying in advance with full online monitoring service, which allows you to save money and travel lighter.

Other options include hiring clubs in resorts or collecting them at the airport from our global partners around the world.

How to use our Concierge Services for Special Occasions?
