CHARLESTON, SC (June 2015) – Whether it’s the greatest tee time of them all at the Old Course in St Andrews or an Irish links odyssey, the golf travel experts at Golfbreaks.com are now assisting Americans with their golf vacation of a lifetime in the British Isles – and at a price that won’t break the bank.
Founded in 1998 just outside London, England in the shadow of Windsor Castle, Golfbreaks.com has arranged golf trips for more than 1.5 million British and Irish golfers, establishing a reputation for expert service and great value.
This award-winning and highly respected company – a partner of both the European Tour Properties and The PGA of Great Britain & Ireland – is now helping American golfers take the stress out of arranging their golfing pilgrimage. That means taking care of everything from tee times and hotel rooms to flights and ground transportation … as well as offering the very best prices and packages to suit all budgets.
Built on the principles of outstanding choice, value and service, the privately owned company now has an American office, based in Charleston, SC, and recently launched a website specifically for American golfers, USA.Golfbreaks.com – which will surely inspire anybody who has ever dreamed of teeing off at legendary links such as St Andrews, Royal Birkdale, Turnberry, Royal County Down or Royal Porthcawl.
As part of this launch, American golfers are now eligible to win a seven-night golf vacation playing five of the most spectacular golf courses in South Wales. Golf in Wales is golf as it should be – offering unspoiled natural landscapes, breathtaking views, the warmest of welcomes wherever you go and the opportunity to play at your own pace. And while the legendary names of Scottish and Irish courses might top the global rankings lists, the likes of Royal Porthcawl, Royal St David’s and the famed Twenty Ten Ryder Cup course at Celtic Manor need little introduction to savvy golfers who flock to the fairways of Wales.
The winner receives a seven-night golf vacation to South Wales for four people, including three nights bed and breakfast at the Marriott Cardiff hotel, four nights bed and breakfast at the Dragon Hotel in Swansea, five rounds of golf at Pennard, Twenty Ten course at Celtic Manor, Ashburnham, Machynys Peninsula and Royal Porthcawl, and car rental for the duration of the stay.

“Our brand and identity in the UK and Ireland has been built upon proving to golfers that we will save them time and money,” said Daniel Grave, a founding partner of Golfbreaks.com and CEO of Golfbreaks USA. “We save golfers time by booking all their tee times, doing all the running around for them, putting their trips together. And we save them money by getting them the best possible price – a price that is not only better than the competition, but also better than the price they would get if they tried to book the trip themselves.
“Many companies target the very top end (of the golf market). We believe there is an opportunity to go for more of the mass market here in the U.S. We want to try to educate American golfers that it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to play golf in the British Isles. There are ways to do it, playing wonderful golf courses at a fraction of the cost and yet still having that unique golfing experience.”
“America is a hugely important market for us,” said Grave. “We already arrange trips for thousands of UK golfers to play legendary venues like Pinehurst, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach and Sawgrass – and now we are excited to do the same for American golfers going the other way. Playing links golf in the UK and Ireland is a unique and special experience, and one that is more affordable than you might think.”
Following every trip, Golfbreaks.com sends each individual trip organizer a detailed survey regarding their experience and the Golfbreaks.com service. More than 98 percent return with a very good/excellent rating of the overall service – and say they would book with Golfbreaks.com again.
