What’s included in typical golf break packages?
Packages include guaranteed tee times, luxury accommodation positioned between venues, private chauffeur service with equipment transportation, pre-trip consultation, and 24-hour support. Green fees, accommodation, and transportation appear clearly itemised with no hidden charges.
How far in advance should I book?
Championship courses and premium accommodation require 6-12 months booking for summer peak season (May-September). Spring and autumn offer more flexibility with 3-6 months typically sufficient. Old Course access demands maximum planning.
Can you guarantee Old Course tee times?
The Old Course operates a ballot making guaranteed access impossible officially. However, we enter multiple submissions and maintain relationships, improving success rates significantly. All packages include guaranteed play on New, Jubilee, Castle, or other Links courses.
What’s the best time of year?
May through September offer the most reliable weather and longest daylight. June and July provide 18-plus hours of sunlight. Spring (April-May) brings firmer conditions and fewer crowds. Autumn (September-October) delivers spectacular colours and competitive rates.
How do you handle weather disruptions?
We monitor forecasts closely and adjust tee times to capture optimal windows. Backup courses remain available if primary venues close. Our chauffeur service allows route changes without complications.
What handicap level do I need?
Most championship courses require no minimum handicap, though some request certificates. Difficulty varies, Royal Troon and Carnoustie challenge low-handicappers from back tees while forward markers make them accessible to recreational golfers.
Do packages include caddie services?
Caddies are optional extras available at most championship courses. We recommend them for first-time St Andrews visitors, where local knowledge proves invaluable. Fees range £60-100 per round plus gratuity.
Can you arrange mixed-ability group breaks?
Absolutely. We select courses offering multiple tee positions and create split itineraries where necessary. Stronger players tackle championship courses while others enjoy accessible layouts, reuniting for evening meals.
What accommodation options are available?
Options range from five-star luxury hotels like Gleneagles to boutique guesthouses. We match accommodation to your preferences: modern luxury, historic country houses, or traditional Scottish inns, all selected for quality, location, and golfer-friendly amenities.
How does your pricing compare to booking independently?
Our pricing reflects volume relationships, often matching or beating independent booking costs. More importantly, we save countless hours of research and coordination. Guaranteed tee times, strategic selection, efficient routing, and 24-hour support deliver value beyond simple cost comparison.
