Our Team

Mark

Mark is a member of Portsalon Golf Club in Donegal Ireland and also regularly plays at Clandeboye and Scrabo near to Belfast. Running a golf travel business has given him the opportunity to play some amazing courses all over the globe including South Africa the country of his birth. "South Africa offers the opportunity to play world class courses in stunning locations and is for those who want a golfing adventure rather than a resort holiday. The luxury golf coach is perfect for those who do not want to drive or for single travellers who want to enjoy the company of like minded people".

Favourite Course: Fancourts Montagu and Outeniqua courses are hard to beat but the new St Francis Links just pips them at the post
Best Moment: Being first to tee off on a group trip to SA with everyone hovering about and managing to hit one straight down the middle, a relatively rare occurrence!
Favourite Tour: Cape Town, Winelands and Garden Route golf with a safari

Philip

Philip is a member of Scrabo Golf Club in Newtownards, Northern Ireland and also regularly plays at Ballyclare Golf Club where his father is a past club captain. For anyone who wants to do nothing more than play golf, Fancourt is the ultimate golfers paradise with four top courses, world class hotel facilities and the spectacular Garden Route on the doorstep. I was very impressed with standard of the courses and hope to return very soon. "What could be better than playing golf on world class courses surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery you will ever see! You just don't want the round to end!".

Favourite Course: Arabella Golf Course in the Western Cape although Fancourt is a great golf resort also.
Best Moment: A tap-in birdie on the 9th hole at Arabella.
Favourite Tour: Cape Town, Winelands and Garden Route

ABTA: Why we are not members of ABTA
We are not members of ABTA as we are tour operators and not travel agents, the difference is that travel agents buy holidays from a third party whilst we as Tour Operators deal direct with hotels, airlines etc. All ABTA members have to buy from ATOL holders as this means the holiday has financial protection.
