Golf Escapes – Our Story
Easy Golf Holidays…
Golf holidays should be the easiest kind of trip to enjoy: sunshine, great courses, good company, and that unbeatable feeling when you stripe one down the middle. But for too many golfers, the reality was different—wrong tee times, transfers that didn’t show, hotels that looked better online, and recommendations that didn’t match how golfers actually travel.
Why We Do It…
That frustration is exactly why Golf Escapes exists. Founded in 2002, we started with a simple belief: golfers deserve a specialist service built around the game—not squeezed into a generic travel template.
We chose to focus on golf and only golf, because details matter here. The “best” course depends on your handicap and what kind of challenge you enjoy. The “perfect” resort depends on whether you’re a couple, a small group, or running a full-on group trip. And the best holiday isn’t the one with the most inclusions—it’s the one that fits you.
When our customers started to describe their trips the same way—“ran like clockwork,” “seamless,” “spot on”—we knew what others missed:
the experience between the golf matters just as much as the golf itself.
That’s how we grew from a one-person mission into a 20+ strong team, expanding into tuition trips, events, schools and tours—without losing the personalised service that started it all.
Today, Golf Escapes is trusted by thousands of golfers who want it done properly: expert advice from people who understand the game, trips tailored to real requirements, and support that makes you feel looked after from enquiry to return flight.
We take pride in doing the small things that make a big difference—because the only surprises you should get on a golf holiday are on the scorecard.
Your Money is Protected
All overseas golf holidays booked without flights are protected under ABTA (The Association of British Travel Agents). This means financial protection, clear regulations, and support if anything falls short — reassurance you simply don’t get with unprotected providers.
For holidays that include flights, ATOL protection goes one step further. If an airline fails or issues arise while you’re abroad, your flights, accommodation, and return home are covered. No stress. No nasty surprises. No being stranded.
Service that speaks for itself
We believe personal service is non-negotiable. From your first enquiry to your return home, our UK-based team in Haywards Heath is on hand to support you every step of the way — before, during, and after your trip.
That commitment hasn’t gone unnoticed. Our “Exceptional” 4.9-star rating on Feefo reflects what golfers tell us time and time again: efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. It’s why we’ve earned the Platinum Service Award for four consecutive years — and why so many golfers trust us with their next escape.
What's in the Future…
We’re building a future where more golfers—from first-timers to avid travellers alike—can explore the world’s best golf destinations with complete confidence. And when you come back? You don’t just remember a trip. You become part of a story we’re writing every day: golf holidays, expertly organised, with 5-star service at the heart.
And if you’re curious about who are behind the holidays and the 5-star customer service, check out our team.
