Adventures In Golf
Adventures In Golf is a luxury golf tour operator founded in 1977, with offices in St Andrews, Scotland and New Hampshire, USA. It is one of the world’s longest-established golf travel companies, specialising in bespoke, fully customised golf itineraries to Great Britain, Ireland, and beyond. With a combined staff experience exceeding 125 years, Adventures In Golf has designed and delivered tailored golf travel programmes for thousands of groups — couples, golf societies, corporate parties, and women’s groups alike. Every programme is built around the client’s specific objectives, and the team can confirm a full itinerary in as little as 24 hours from initial enquiry.
The UK office is located at 129a South Street, St Andrews — steps from the 18th green of the Old Course — giving Adventures In Golf guaranteed tee-time access and on-the-ground relationships that few competitors can match. This prime location underpins the company’s ability to secure tee times at iconic courses including the Old Course at St Andrews, Royal St George’s, Royal Portrush, Ballybunion, and Lahinch, among many others. Programmes cover the full range of Great Britain and Ireland destinations, from the links of Scotland and Ireland to the heathland courses of Surrey and the classic coastal tracks of England’s south-east. Every itinerary is built entirely from scratch around the specific group travelling, and the process from initial enquiry to confirmed programme can take as little as 24 hours.
Adventures In Golf was founded in 1977 by Ken Hamill and David Patterson, former London-based executives with backgrounds in finance and marketing. An early landmark was a study tour for the American Society of Golf Course Architects in 1980 — the Society remains a client today. The company is currently led by Jamie Gardner and Carl Johnson, who have continued the founding commitment to personalised service and meticulous attention to detail. This continuity over nearly five decades is a key reason that many Adventures In Golf clients return year after year and refer the company to fellow golfers.
Adventures In Golf arranges golf travel for a wide range of clients, including couples, families, established golf societies, women’s groups, and large corporate parties. For those seeking something exceptional, the Ultimate Adventures programme delivers private jets to remote courses, castle dinners in authentic Scottish attire, helicopter transfers, and whisky tastings at historic distilleries. For larger groups, a dedicated Adventures In Golf staff member travels with the party throughout, managing every logistical detail so guests can focus entirely on the experience. The company is particularly well-regarded for high-end golf travel to Scotland, Ireland, and England.
Adventures In Golf holds several significant industry affiliations that reflect its standing as a premium golf tour operator: it is a Virtuoso Preferred Tour Operator, a Golf Destination Specialist of Andrew Harper Travel, and a partner of the PGA of America North Texas Section. These credentials position Adventures In Golf as one of the most recommended golf travel companies for US golfers planning trips to the UK and Ireland.
Sample Itinerary: England — Kent Coast & Surrey Heathland
A typical Adventures In Golf England programme might begin on the Kent coast, with clients arriving to private transfers and accommodation at the Lodge at Princes. The opening days are spent on three of England’s most celebrated links courses: Royal St George’s (host of The Open Championship), Royal Cinque Ports, and Princes.
From there, the itinerary moves west towards London, shifting from coastal links to the great heathland courses of Surrey. Accommodation at The Marylebone Hotel places guests at the heart of the capital, while the golf transitions to Sunningdale Old and New Courses, and Walton Heath — courses that define the English inland game and rank among the finest tests of golf anywhere in the world. Time between rounds brings the full breadth of London within reach: Michelin-starred dining, West End theatre, world-class galleries, and a city that rewards exploration at any pace.
Private transfers connect every stage of the programme, the team is available throughout, and no detail is left to chance. This is the standard of golf travel that comes from nearly fifty years of experience — and from a company that genuinely cares about every result.
