Fancy a luxury golf holiday? Feel you could add a few yards to your drive or a little more backspin to your chip onto the green? Well if, like me, your answer is an emphatic yes, I have the perfect solution…
Having used the pandemic as a time to reconfigure their services, new parent company Golf Travel Group is excited by the rebrand of existing golf travel specialists Chaka Travel and Golf Travel Centre. Additionally, the launch of fresh new brand Golf Travel Lux; an affordable, luxury golf travel experience gives their clients more choice than ever before. However, most exciting of all is the launch of the genuinely novel brand Golf Travel Tours.
Building on a niche concept that currently only exists in the burgeoning golf travel industry in very basic form, Golf Travel Tours (GTT) is an expansive service that matches golf enthusiasts with PGA professionals to provide an escorted international golf experience that blends blissful recreation with dedicated, professional tutelage. Available in 36 countries and on 365 courses, GTT is a golfing holiday experience like no other with a unique global portfolio of worldwide golfing opportunities.
Part and parcel of the package is dedicated time with a professional golfer on the green and the driving range. Individual lessons are bookable, enabling you to work on your game with someone who’s bread and butter is shaving shots off of your round and getting you to the 19th green a prouder and happier golfer. Among the roster of PGA professionals on GTT’s books are renowned trick shot maverick David Edwards, Jacques Gous - Head Pro of Sedlescombe Golf Club and Martin Thompson - 25 years the head pro of Parkstone Golf Club in Bournemouth.
Tours are booked in groups, who you will get to know over several rounds of golf played every other day of your holiday. Split up into small groups of four you will be able to match your skills on the course, working in the tips of the trade learnt everyday with your dedicated golf professional. Tours are designed to permit smaller groups to join like-minded golf fanatics on the best courses in world golf, whilst all the fine details are taken care of by the caddy concierge service provided by GTT.
While golf is the glue in the GTT package, no holiday would be definable as such without a good helping of R&R. It’s lucky then that all tour packages include the best of 5* accommodation and a myriad of beautiful local activities to make sure you get the most of your holiday. Designed to aid your experience of unique destinations like Southeast Asia, the South Pacific or South Africa, and Europe you can enjoy a Safari, a Mekong River cruise, or wine tasting in a French Chateaux, all whilst experiencing the best courses in world golf.
All tours are pre-booked with fixed-itineraries and dedicated ground teams are there to make sure your trips run smoothly and peacefully.
With hundreds of courses to choose from in a host of fantastic international locations there is no better way to explore the great outdoors after a year and a half of solitude and endless lockdowns. Put best by David R. Forgan in his Golfer’s Creed, golf is a game that entails, “getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise, a sweeping away of mental cobwebs, genuine recreation of tired tissues. It is a cure for care, an antidote to worry. It includes companionship with friends…promotes not only physical health but moral force.”
