Planning a memorable golf vacation can be tricky. You can hire a travel agent (who might even golf) or if you prefer to do it yourself, there are several sites that help you find hotels and resorts and give you a little information on what to expect when you get there. Explore a few more sites and you can find deals on golf in the area. But no one really brings the two passions together, until now.
Enter Girlfriends Golf Getaway. This new golf travel company focuses on creating luxe weekend adventures for ladies that also include spas, shopping, and camaraderie. “As a result of high demand from women golfers, we did some research in the industry and realized that we could not find a tour operator who focused solely on women,” says Jennifer Washington, VP of Operations. “At that moment, we realized the high demand to focus and cater to women golfers.”
Some of the key benefits of Girlfriends Golf Getaway are:
- Each venue and golf course is carefully chosen based on the company’s experience of a property and focus group feedback;
- They make sure the golf courses are lady-friendly with appropriate tees, welcoming staff and clean facilities;
- You can choose from their pre-packaged golf adventures or you can create your own;
- They will plan everything (if you want them to) so you can relax and have fun; and
- Because of their relationships with resorts, they can get great rates for you.
What is Jennifer’s favorite golf vacation spot? “Bermuda. It offers the best of everything for a extraordinary golf vacation – relaxing pink sand beaches, upscale/luxury hotels, insurmountable hospitality, and a range of beautifully appointed and competitive golf courses.”
