PerryGolf - Customized Golf Tours

PerryGolf, a leader in luxury golf travel to the British Isles for more than two decades, is expanding. Starting Sept. 1, PerryGolf will offer customized golf tours to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy. This makes travelling to some of the world’s most spectacular courses as easy as whipping out your credit card and calling a toll free number.

The new destinations mark the first additions to their travel portfolio since Spain and Portugal were added in 1991 and France was added in 2003. This compliments tours to Scotland, Ireland and England, which have been the benchmark their company since it was established by Scottish brothers Gordon and Colin Dalgleish in 1984.

Gordon Dalgleish, president of PerryGolf, says ” Our goal is to provide consistently superior travel experiences. Relationships with highly respected travel partners and the technology infrastructure built into our systems over the past several years make us confident PerryGolf will continue to set the industry standard for distinctive and innovative golf travel.”

These additions come at a time when international golf travel is starting to gain ground. “After a relatively flat period of limited growth since 2001, golf tourism is once again on the march,” says Peter Walton, chief executive of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.

“New Zealand, Australia and South Africa collectively boast 17 of the ‘100 Best Courses Outside the U.S.’ (2005 Golf Digest rankings),” Dalgleish said. “But most Americans know these courses only by reputation. The opportunity to play these great courses while experiencing such desirable destinations makes these tours especially appealing.”

The newest additions to their lines will join PerryGolf’s massive database of courses and hotels from which travellers can choose. The database is easily accessed from a recently enhanced Web site, (www.PerryGolf.com), where golfers can use their Plan Your Own Tour™ online trip calculator and the new MyGolfConcierge™ feature to find information and assistance to arrange a tour to any of the company’s destinations.
