What kind of golf trips does Travel There and Back specialize in?
We specialize in customized, independent luxury golf travel worldwide, with a strong focus on Europe, the Americas (including Mexico and Hawaii), Australia & New Zealand, and South Africa. Our trips are perfect for couples, small groups, and individuals seeking unique, tailored experiences, whether it's a romantic golf getaway, a challenging links tour, or a blend of golf with culinary or cultural exploration.
Can you accommodate golfers of all skill levels?
Absolutely! Our trips are completely customized to your preferences. Whether you're a seasoned scratch golfer looking to conquer championship courses or a recreational player seeking a more relaxed pace with stunning views, we design itineraries that match your skill level and desired experience. We can even arrange professional instruction to help you improve your game.
Do you only book tee times, or do you handle the entire trip?
We handle every aspect of your golf vacation! This includes pre-arranged tee times and green fees at your chosen courses, luxury accommodations, private ground transportation (including seamless club transfers), and exclusive local experiences beyond the golf course. We aim to remove all the stress of planning so you can focus solely on your game and enjoyment.
Can I combine golf with other interests, like wine or culinary experiences?
Yes, and we highly encourage it! As specialists in Wine/Culinary Travel, we excel at blending your love for golf with other passions. Imagine a trip playing championship courses in Tuscany, followed by vineyard tours and cooking classes, or a golf tour through California's wine country. We can seamlessly integrate these elements into your custom itinerary.
How far in advance should I plan my golf trip?
For peak season travel, popular destinations, or bucket-list courses (like St Andrews), we recommend planning 6-12 months in advance. This allows for the best availability for tee times, preferred accommodations, and more flexible travel arrangements. For less popular times or destinations, 3-6 months may suffice, but earlier is always better for optimal customization.
What if I'm traveling with non-golfers?
We design itineraries that cater to everyone in your party. While you're on the course, we can arrange bespoke activities for non-golfers, such as spa treatments, cultural tours, shopping excursions, or cooking classes. We ensure everyone has an equally enriching and memorable experience.
What kind of support do you offer during the trip?
From the moment you confirm your trip, you'll have dedicated support. We provide detailed itineraries, local contacts, and are available to assist with any unforeseen issues or last-minute adjustments while you're traveling, ensuring peace of mind.
How do I start planning my golf trip with Travel There and Back?
