I can't help but wonder why so many of our clients come to us with the belief that using a travel agent makes travel more expensive. They all seem to believe that if they book the trip themselves, they will be getting the lowest price. Most of the time, that notion is completely false. Using us to book the trip nearly always saves money, because golf courses and hotels offer travel agents reduced rates. Let me give you some examples.
Many of the big name courses in Ireland and Scotland give a 10 to 15% discount on green fees to tour operators. There are even bigger savings on lodging. For those same Ireland and Scotland trips, the tour operator rates on accommodations come at a 20-30% discount! While I am sure that some of the "big name" golf travel companies turn around and charge the client full price or even higher, our modest fee (8% for single travelers, 6% for groups) still provides a substantial discount to our customers. So using a service like ours saves you substantial cash and lots of time. Plus, with our experience, you'll end up with a better trip.
