Scotland, Ireland, England & Wales
Scotland and Ireland remain at the heart of GHW Golf Tours.
The company works with a carefully selected portfolio of hand-picked golf courses across Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales, allowing GHW Golf Tours to create exceptional tailor-made itineraries that combine world-famous championship links with outstanding hidden gems and lesser-known courses that many visiting golfers might otherwise never experience.
In Scotland, GHW Golf Tours creates programmes throughout St Andrews and Fife, Edinburgh and East Lothian, Ayrshire, Loch Lomond, Perthshire, Carnoustie and Dundee, Aberdeen, the Highlands and Islands and Scotland’s spectacular west coast.
Its extensive Ireland portfolio stretches from Dublin and Northern Ireland to the celebrated links of the south-west, west and north-west, allowing golfers to experience some of the finest courses and most memorable landscapes in the game.
England and Wales are also established parts of the GHW Golf Tours portfolio, with tailor-made golf tour experiences incorporating some of the finest championship courses and golfing regions in both countries.
GHW Golf Tours’ membership of Golf Tourism England further strengthens its established England programme, providing additional opportunities to work closely with courses, hotels, destinations and tourism partners throughout the country.
This enhanced network complements GHW Golf Tours’ existing relationships and experience, helping the company continue to develop standalone golf tour experiences alongside extended itineraries combining Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales.
For international golfers travelling considerable distances to the UK and Ireland, the ability to combine several of the world’s great golfing regions within one journey creates an exceptionally attractive experience.
With an established international client base, particularly across the USA, South Africa and Asia, GHW Golf Tours has a strong audience of travelling golfers continually looking for their next great golf experience.
Golf Travel Without the One-Size-Fits-All Package
At GHW Golf Tours, no two golf tour experiences need to be the same.
Every itinerary is individually designed around the golfers travelling – where they want to play, how long they want to stay, their preferred standard of accommodation, their budget and what they want to experience away from the golf course.
From individual golfers and couples to groups of friends, golf societies and corporate parties, the GHW Golf Tours team coordinates the complete journey.
This can include championship tee times, carefully selected four- and five-star accommodation, private ground transportation, experienced golf drivers, restaurant reservations, tournament and event tickets, sightseeing experiences and 24/7 support throughout the tour.
For non-golfing days, itineraries can incorporate the very best each destination has to offer, including whisky and distillery experiences, historic castles, guided sightseeing, fishing, shooting and local food and cultural experiences.
The objective is simple: golfers concentrate on enjoying their experience while GHW Golf Tours takes care of everything else.
Golf Beyond the British Isles
For clients looking further afield, GHW Golf Tours also creates international golf tour experiences across a growing portfolio of destinations.
These include Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Portugal’s Algarve and Lisbon regions, Turkey’s Belek coastline and Thailand, including Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Phuket.
This international reach allows GHW Golf Tours to build long-term relationships with its clients. A golfer discovering St Andrews one year can experience Ireland, England or Wales the next, before travelling further afield for golf in the Middle East, Portugal, Turkey or Asia.
It means GHW Golf Tours can become more than the company a golfer uses for one particular destination – it can become their trusted golf travel partner wherever in the world they want to play next.
Quality, Value and Transparent Pricing
GHW Golf Tours believes exceptional golf travel should also represent genuine value.
Golf Tour Director Derek Anderson has been an advocate for sustainable and transparent pricing within golf tourism, particularly in Scotland, where maintaining value for international visitors is essential to the long-term strength and reputation of the industry.
Rather than adopting a “premium at any price” approach, GHW Golf Tours focuses on creating high-quality golf tour experiences where the overall experience justifies the investment.
That philosophy has helped the company develop long-standing relationships with golfers who return to GHW Golf Tours when planning their next experience and recommend the company to friends, fellow club members and golfing groups.
Sample Itinerary: Best of Scotland, Seven Nights
A classic seven-night Scotland golf tour experience can begin in Edinburgh and East Lothian, home to one of the greatest concentrations of championship links golf anywhere in the world.
After two rounds along Scotland’s Golf Coast, golfers travel north to St Andrews, the Home of Golf, where the itinerary can feature the legendary Old Course alongside another outstanding Fife links.
From St Andrews, the journey continues west towards Loch Lomond and Ayrshire, finishing among the celebrated links of Scotland’s west coast before departure from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Throughout the tour, GHW Golf Tours manages the complete experience – from tee times and accommodation to private transfers and daily logistics.
Rest days can be transformed into memorable Scottish experiences with whisky tastings, distillery visits, historic castles, fishing, sightseeing or simply time to explore.
One journey. Some of the world’s greatest golf courses. Every detail taken care of.
Your Golf Tour. Your Way.
Whether it is a first visit to Scotland, a guaranteed Old Course experience, an Ireland links adventure, a golf journey through England or Wales or an international escape to warmer climates, GHW Golf Tours creates tailor-made golf tour experiences around the people taking them.
From individual golfers and couples to societies, private groups and corporate travel, every itinerary starts with a conversation and is built from there.
