Best Golf Tour Operators

One day—eventually—there will be overseas golf trips again. If you’d like help organizing one, you might want to reach out to a tour operator now, because it looks like 2022 is going to be extremely busy.

These five firms are an excellent place to start. The pandemic has been rough on them, as it has on most travel businesses, but they’re still standing and ready to help you build the trip of a lifetime.

Perry Golf is rooted in trips to Scotland but it also offers a wide menu of cruises in partnership with the Azamara line, including trips through the British Isles, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Kalos Golf is almost entirely cruise-based, with smaller ships than many—about 100 passengers—and an eye for luxury. 

Haversham & Baker Expeditions emphasizes small group travel to Britain, Ireland and Europe, using private buses and exclusive-use accommodations. Carr Golf and Celtic Golf are outstanding for Irish trips. In non-pandemic times, the former hosts multiple father-son and father-daughter tournaments each year and the latter has built a nice business out of pairing golf travel with big international events such as the Solheim Cup.

The truth is, any of these firms would be great help in planning a golf trip anywhere. Our advice: Contact them all to see what they’ve got and what they charge. And again, we wouldn’t delay. Because of the coronavirus, there’s a ton of pent-up demand. On top of that, the Open Championship will be held at St. Andrews in ’22, attracting all the more golfers while limiting the supply of tee times.

Dave Redmond

Founding partner, epic golf travel, experienced.

Epic Golf Travel had it’s start in providing personalized golf vacation services dating back over 30 years to 1992.

They and their team would eventually help thousands of golfers plan their trips throughout the United States, Scotland, Ireland and England.

Today, we are a team of golf professionals and travel experts with over a century of golf industry and travel experience.

We will work closely with you to build a trip that matches your wishes and desires perfectly. Your trip will take your style into consideration, along with your pace and will fit within your budget.

We spend time researching, checking course and hotel availabilities, flight schedules, driving times to and from golf courses, course conditions, rental cars and any special requests you may have made. Only after doing this research will we create a custom itinerary and quote based on you specifically and all of the information you shared with us.

Once you have agreed on a final itinerary, we'll take care of all the reservations… from hotels to ground transportation to those all-important starting times. We will assist with your airline reservations, make reservations at special restaurants, plan a schedule of sightseeing, suggest shopping and anything else you might desire.

We travel and play at all of the destinations we represent, allowing us to provide unique, in-depth knowledge to our clients. Not only of the golf courses and lodging options, but also ideas and suggestions on non-golfing activities, sightseeing and dining possibilities.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) Wounded Warrior Project (WWP)

"For the last 3 years, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) has collaborated with the staff at the PGA Tour Golf Academy at WGV, providing a unique golf coaching experience for wounded warriors recovering from a wide array of physical and mental injuries. What sets the Academy apart is the ability to have multiple golf coaches deliver high-level instruction while adding their own flair and personality to each session."

Greg T. Stay and Play Experiences

"First let me say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The weekend far exceeded my expectations. All was just perfect, from beginning to end. I thought this would be a one time event for me, but I am already thinking of doing it all again in a few years."

Andy P. Buddy Trip

"Thank you again for helping organize an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience - it was the best golf experience I have ever had. Learning about the history of Sawgrass and then experiencing it like a pro was truly special. I will watch the Players Championship on TV this year with a different perspective."

Jason M. Buddy Trip

"Just wanted to say thank you to the team that helped us put together our trip! The staff and resort were amazing and we enjoyed every minute we were there! It was a beautiful property, and every meal was fantastic and service was great. The two courses I played were both in great shape and were fun to play as well!"

Lori R. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“Anne Cain is an amazing teacher. Her instruction was easy to understand and was visually supported with her video evaluation. She gave me take home drills which helped to reinforce a better turn and arm position in my swing. I won’t go to another instructor! She’s rated as a Top 100 Pro for a very good reason!”

Keith M. Stay & Play Vacation

“Everything about our TPC Sawgrass experience was excellent, and I checked playing at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course off my bucket list. All of the staff were amazing, especially the caddies. Thanks for all of your help in putting this together for us, and we will definitely keep you in mind on our inevitable future trips to TPC courses!”

Dennis S. Stay & Play Vacation

“Without Golf Experiences, this trip would have never been possible!! I always try to deal with people that understand my wants as far as not just accommodations, they are important but to work with me on dates and tee times, you were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for all your help!! You are ACES!”

Renne & Bob D. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

Parent of a Junior Camper Junior Golf Camp

“Great camp! My son really learned a lot and had fun. The camp introduced him to golf correctly and without the pressure of playing with adults. This builds confidence in a child’s own ability.”

“My son was so excited every morning to go to camp. He loved the coaches and really enjoyed the kids in his group. He came home every day and practiced in our backyard. Thank you for a successful program. Also, thank you for the assortment of goodies on the first day of camp.”

“My son just finished the half-day camp at TPC Scottsdale. I took him golfing this morning for the first time since and I was absolutely amazed at his improvement since we last played. Absolutely amazing!!! The coaches at TPC Scottsdale do an excellent job and my son will be back for future camps. Thank you.”

Rajesh PGA TOUR Golf Academy

Larry A. PGA TOUR Golf Academy

“My instructor did a superb job introducing me to all phases of the game, as I am relatively new to the game. He was knowledgeable, communicated well, and was patient with me. Before departing, my instructor ensured I had the Tour Academy Home Edition, and I’m now using the 8-week course to enhance the training I received during my visit.”

Tony Group Experience

Nathan Group Experience

“I can’t express enough my gratitude for your assistance in rescheduling our client golf outing from Sea Island to TPC Sawgrass on a two day notice - I know it’s not easy to find tee times and hotel rooms for 16 guys with such little notice. Everyone enjoyed the golf and facilities. We will be back for sure!”

Joe Group Experience

“Sunriver lived up to its billing! The greens were some of, if not the best I have ever played and I’ve played a number of top 50 like Saucon Valley. It was a great recommendation and good value. My best friend and I are thinking about going back with our wives next year.”

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■

Hoey wins in Moscow

Northern Ireland’s Michael Hoey shot a final-round 70 to claim a four-stroke victory at the M2M Russian Open in Moscow.

The 34-year-old, who led by five overnight after a superb 65 in his third round, birdied three more holes to finish comfortably ahead on 16-under-par 272.

France’s Alexandre Kaleka, winner of the tournament last year, and Englishman Matthew Nixon were the closest challengers, finishing on 12 under.

Victory was Hoey’s fifth European Tour title and represented a return to form after missing seven of his previous 10 cuts.

Hoey told europeantour.com: “I have absolutely loved the golf course this week.

“The putting was the key for me. I have been working hard on that a lot recently and the improvement is really showing because I making a lot of birdies.

“That is the main difference at this level. You have to be able to make a lot of putts because the standard is so high these days that it usually comes down to who makes the most putts.

“It’s pretty amazing to think that I have won five European Tour titles.

“It is a great feeling to win and every time you do it you just want more and more. Hopefully I can get at least another one before the end of the season.

“It has given me a great boost. I am not the most consistent player in the world but when I get into these positions I usually do okay.”

Hoey dropped just one shot throughout the day, at the 12th, and his lead was cut to two by Kaleka and Dane JB Hansen.

But his birdie at the 17th steadied nerves and Kaleka (bogey) and Hansen (double bogey) both dropped strokes at the last to card 68s.

Nixon came home in 33 and signed for a three-under-par 69, finishing tied second with Kaleka a shot ahead of Hansen.

Hoey said: “I did feel the pressure a bit today because I wasn’t swinging it as freely as I had done yesterday but I got the job done in the end.

“Making my first birdie of the day on the seventh was a bit of a turning point because I had burned a few edges before that and you start to wonder if it is going to be your day.”

China’s Liang Wen-chong, Frenchman Gregory Havret and English pair James Morrison and Mark Foster finished in a tie for fifth on 10 under.
