TESTIMONIALS

5 stars isn't enough to describe how much Marc & Graeme pay attention. From their level of detail, hospitality, their level of connection, personalized service, transportation, hotel and dinner reservations, changes, tee times at world class golf courses, Google should add a 10 star review, because that's what they deserve. We started planning our next trip with them at dinner the last night. Whether you're going to Scotland, Ireland, Dubai, S. Africa, New Zealand, Australia... if you expect the best. You found it!

I just finished the best 10 day vacation of my life and it's all due to the wonderful team at St Andrews Golf Travel. I booked this trip over 2 years ago for my brother and my 50th birthday and brought 6 other buddies. I had high expectations for my #1 bucket list trip and Graeme and Ewan EXCEEDED expectations. They under promised and over delivered every step of the way. Our driver/concierge (Ewan is now a life long friend and made our trip extra special. If I could give a review more than 5 stars, I would. I've traveled to many places and done many golf excursions but none better than this. If you want to book a trip with mates to the motherland, stop looking elsewhere and use Graeme, Marc and St Andrews Golf Travel. They will put together any trip you want. We went with the Rota package and played 7 rounds (Turnberry, Royal Troon, Muirfield, Old Course, Carnoustie, Castle Course and Kingsbarns). I cannot thank this group enough and look forward to booking another trip soon. They are a small company that cares about your experience and will make you feel like a VIP. If you want the best trip of your life, book with them. You won't regret it! Thank you to this awesome group of people for giving me and my pals a trip of a lifetime

What a great trip. Graeme and Marc were excellent hosts. Our stay could't have been better. Logistics ran very smoothly. Beautiful courses and amazing golf history. We played Elie, Castle, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and The Old Course. Everyone was so pleasant. I would highly recommend that if you want a brilliant trip to Scotland for golf, use St Andrews Golf Travel. Graeme and Marc will take care of you.

Lindsey Clark December 2022

I had the great pleasure of working, on behalf of a client, with Marc of St Andrews Golf Travel in setting up a once in a lifetime golf trip for 12 keen golfers. Marc’s organisational skills in setting up a 12 day trip from start to finish have been exceptional, including making sure all transport times coincided with the tee times of this large group. His attention to detail in the planning of every aspect of this trip is to be highly commended, as well as his knowledge of all things local, including restaurant recommendations. Marc was also personally onsite every day to travel with the group to each course and to ensure all went smoothly and to handle all personal requests on the day. Marc also arranged two great bespoke days of fishing and shooting (with lunch at Drumlanrig Castle) which the guys really appreciated and enjoyed! As well as being extremely professional at all times, Marc is so easy-going and friendly and I would not hesitate in recommending him and his team in helping anyone who is looking to set up the golf experience of a lifetime. Thanks Marc and SAGT – I hope that we will get the opportunity to work together again!

Reese Neyland November 2022

Like so many others, our trip was delayed two years and rescheduled four times because of Covid. Through it all, Graeme patiently worked with us. If I emailed him he responded within a few hours. When we arrived in August 2022 we were treated to the 5 star experience we were promised - golf, hotel, transportation, etc. We even got to play The Old Course! If you want the trip of a lifetime, I wholeheartedly recommend St Andrews Golf Travel

Scott Weeks October 2022

After almost three years, we finally made it and Graeme delivered as advertised. Just an amazing experience for all of us and a true bucket list accomplishment. Will never forget it. Thanks St Andrews Golf Travel and special thanks to Graeme for taking care of us! Well done!

Guy LeClair October 2022

We had a group of 4 golfers from PEI, Canada that waited 3 years to get to St Andrews due to Covid. This group exceeded our expectations in many ways, form the time we stepped off the plane and were greeted by Ewan (driver) and someone i can now call a friend to Claire greeting us at the house with a gracious smile and Angus for his local expertise on golf, shopping, restaurants and pubs. St Andrews Golf Travel truly made our trip well worth it. Thanks to Marc and Graeme for all the re bookings, off the wall accommodation requests and crazy questions. These guys leave nothing unturned.

Christie Austin September 2022

Just returned from a magical golf trip to St. Andrews, Scotland. After 2 years of Covid related cancellations, Graeme managed to arrange an incredible array of golf for the 8 of us, including a last minute booking of 2 helicopters to transport us to Muirfield! Everything went smooth as silk, with Graeme and Ewan serving as our drivers and tour guides through the week. Thank you both for making our trip so effortless, it was perfect! We especially want to thank you for arranging glorious and dry weather the entire time. If you haven’t used St. Andrews Golf Travel to assist you with your trip you NEED to!! They’re experts in everything Scotland and Ireland and have now expanded to Australia and New Zealand.

Sherry Schafer September 2022

We began planning our Ireland golf trip with Marc at St. Andrews Golf in 2019 .... he expertly navigated us through the required cancellations. We have just returned from our 10 days and were so happy with all arrangements and planning. Our driver was with us throughout and made the transfers so easy while noting so many landmarks and history of the beautiful countryside. We will look forward to our next opportunity to use St Andrews Golf Travel and will wholeheartedly recommend.

Mark Marchetti September 2022
