For the past 24 years as the Golf Professional at the Bayview Country Club, I have taken members on 16 golf or golf/explore the country trips. Nine of these trips including France, Ireland, the Algrave in Portugal, the Tuscan countryside of Italy and the Napa Valley in California have been organized by GolfAway Tours. Unlike other tour companies where there were always surprises, the organization and execution provided by GolfAway and their agents has always been without exception absolutely outstanding. Providing a consistent level of service makes the life of the "tour leader" who is trying to please a very demanding membership much easier. I have and will recommend GolfAway to my members for their personal travel, to other professionals and to any organization wishing to travel to a golf destination.

I have made four trips overseas (Ireland, Scotland and England) in the last five years to play on golf trips custom organized by GolfAway Tours. These trips were customized for our group (8-20 people), and were logistically demanding including our last trip which involved 22 rounds of golf in 14 days in three countries. My experience in dealing with GolfAway has been exceptional in terms of trip planning, preparation and on the ground support. I often recommend GolfAway to golfers who want to experience golfing overseas on seaside links courses.

Mike hit a home run! Every course was as he described it, typically Irish and very scenic. GolfAway gave us a fantastic package at a reasonable price. We enjoyed every minute of our trip. The courses, the scenery, the accommodations and golf were simply spectacular.

We had a wonderful trip. I would certainly use GolfAway again and will recommend you to my friends.

I was very impressed with how organized our package was. I would have no hesitation in recommending GolfAway to anyone as I felt you did a First Class job.

I have just arrived back from my trip to Scotland. I wanted to tell you however that the trip was sensational. Your arrangements in regard to the course bookings, the caddies, the hotels, the van went off without a hitch. Our entire party agreed that it was an experience of a lifetime. Many thanks for all your efforts. I will look forward to enjoying many more golfing experiences under your auspices.

Mike's experience paid off for us.

I've had the good fortune of traveling and golfing throughout Great Britain and selected sights in the U.S. over the past six years and have used GolfAway for all my arrangements. As an all too frequent business traveler I tend to be very critical of the services provided by most travel agents. They don't know my needs; they don't know the airlines; they don't know their destinations. They frankly don't know their product. GolfAway, Mike and Kathy are different. This is clearly a group that knows their market and knows how to provide value added service before, during and after the trip. They will tell you what you can do and importantly what you can't do. They will take care of the little things that often make or break a memorable and perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime trip. This is a group that I would obviously highly recommend for all your golf and non-golf travel needs and while located in Toronto, GolfAway can and does service a much larger market.

The trip was a spectacular success and memorable in many ways. To your great credit one of the things that added to the success of the trip was everything came off absolutely flawlessly. Every hotel was expecting us, every golf course was expecting us, every tee time was organized and there wasn't a hitch anywhere along the trip. For a group of 20 without 15 or more rounds of golf in nine days spread out all over Scotland that is quite an accomplishment. Many thanks from all of us and I imagine you will find you will get lots of inquiry from the people on the trip.

Our golfing trip to Scotland ended gloriously on June 29 at Loch Lomond, our unanimous choice as the best course we ever played - anywhere! The rest of the trip was equally enjoyable, I think our group was in agreement that it was the best golf trip we'd ever experienced. Sinvere thanks to you and your associates at GolfAway Tours for making our trip one to remember.

My staff and I just returned from Cuscowilla and, as with all the other getaways you've arranged for us, the arrangements were "top-drawer". The accommodations and golf were just as you described and as always, there were no surprises. You certainly know your business.
