Fairways to Heaven Golf Travel
Fairways to Heaven Golf Travel is a full-service international golf tour operator led by Managing Partners Michael O’Toole and David Reid, whose combined passion for the game and deep first-hand knowledge of the world’s finest destinations have shaped more than two decades of delivering exceptional golf travel. Founded on the belief that a golf trip should feel personal from the very first conversation, Fairways to Heaven has earned a reputation not merely for organising travel, but for creating experiences that clients return to year after year — often already planning the next chapter before the final round is done.
At the heart of the Fairways to Heaven philosophy is a simple but powerful principle: they don’t sell golf trips, they create golf experiences. Every itinerary begins with a genuine understanding of the group — their playing ability, their pace of travel, their preferred mix of iconic venues and hidden gems, and the kind of memories they want to bring home. No two programmes are identical. Whether it is a group of old friends revisiting a bucket-list destination or first-time visitors discovering England’s northwest links for the very first time, every journey is designed from scratch around the people making it.
What distinguishes Fairways to Heaven from larger operators is the depth of first-hand knowledge embedded in every recommendation.
O’Toole — a lifelong New Englander with deep Irish roots — spent a memorable summer playing 53 rounds in 60 days along the Irish coastline, and that kind of immersive experience informs everything he designs for clients. David Reid, who spent five years living in London, brings a sophisticated understanding of English and European golf. Dave Kerr, Edinburgh-based and a member at courses from East Lothian to Kent, provides unmatched knowledge of Scotland. Together, the team has personally stayed and played at every destination in the portfolio. Every hotel, every course and every transfer route has been experienced first-hand before it appears on a client’s programme, ensuring that nothing is left to guesswork. UK and Ireland-based Client Experience Directors are on the ground throughout each trip, reachable by WhatsApp and ready to handle everything from caddie requests to last-minute changes — the same team that designed the journey, present until it ends.
Sample Itinerary: England — The Northwest Links
England’s northwest coast is one of the great links golf corridors in the world, and it is one of the Fairways to Heaven team’s signature destinations. A classic programme begins with arrival into Liverpool and check-in at The Hard Days Night Hotel — a boutique property steeped in the city’s musical heritage and perfectly placed for exploring the waterfront and the storied streets of the city centre before the golf begins in earnest.
From Liverpool, the itinerary moves north along the Lancashire coast, where some of the most celebrated links golf in the world waits in close succession. Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool at Hoylake and Royal Lytham & St Anne’s — three Open Championship venues, each distinct in character, each demanding in its own way — form the spine of the programme. Formby, Hillside and West Lancashire add depth and variety alongside them, offering a different expression of seaside links golf that more than holds its own beside the celebrated Royals. Few stretches of coastline in the world can match this concentration of championship-quality links golf within a single, self-contained itinerary.
Throughout, a chauffeured motorcoach handles all transfers, removing the logistics entirely and allowing the group to focus on the golf and the camaraderie. Breakfast is included daily, evenings are spent at carefully chosen local restaurants and pubs recommended by the Fairways to Heaven team, and the same Client Experience Directors who designed the trip are reachable at every turn. Standard programmes cover six rounds across seven days; bespoke itineraries can be extended to incorporate sightseeing, private dining, cultural experiences, flight assistance and travel insurance. The result is the kind of trip that earns its reputation by delivering on every detail.
Fairways to Heaven Golf Travel operates across Ireland, Scotland, England, the Caribbean, Mexico and North America. It is the ideal partner for golfers who want the confidence that every detail has been handled by people who have genuinely lived it — operators who care as much about the trip as the clients taking it, who bring the same standard of personal attention to a group of four as they do to a party of forty, and who measure their success by how many clients return to plan the next one.
