About PerryGolf

Founded in 1984 by a pair of Scottish brothers who were accomplished amateur golfers, PerryGolf has risen to become America’s leading provider of luxury international golf vacations. The Company maintains a marketing and sales office in Wilmington, North Carolina with a sales and operational headquarters located in Helensburgh, Scotland. PerryGolf is recognized and respected for creating unique and innovative golf travel experiences including privately chartered small-ship cruises, luxury train tours, helicopter tours and personalized land tours utilizing VIP Golf Coaches. The business has evolved into three distinct products;

Customized Travel - completely personalized itineraries for a group of golfers who are typically close acquaintances. Non golfers will frequently join the group to enjoy local sights, history, resorts, etc while the golfers play. PerryGolf arranges the complete vacation including airfare (optional), tee times, hotel accommodations, sightseeing and local transportation. Group size can vary from single traveler to more than 100.
Destinations Served - Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, France, Spain (Costa del Sol), Portugal (Lisbon & Algarve), Italy, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina.

Escorted Tours - are pre-arranged with fixed itineraries for groups of 24 - 30 guests. These programs are fully managed throughout by PerryGolf representatives. They are designed around special events like The Open, sometimes referred to as The British Open or The Open Championship, or to experience unique destinations like Southeast Asia & Argentina that may not be part of our permanent portfolio. Our escorted programs provide an excellent opportunity for smaller parties to join a larger group of like-minded traveler for a relaxed experience supported by driver.

Golf Cruises - The reputation we’ve earned over 35 years as one of the most respected providers of international golf tours is proudly presented now as one of the most respected providers of international golf cruises. PerryGolf stands alone to deliver the largest variety of voyages that combine the best golf courses in the world with the world’s most desirable destinations.

We do not charter which allows us to offer a wide range of pricing. Instead we partner with Azamara® whose four ocean liners for less than 700 guests give us access to nearly every destination around the world with great golf.

Client Interest & Motivation

Passion for the game is obviously the primary factor but many simply treasure the experience shared in the company of friends, plus it is a refreshing opportunity for those who walk to get meaningful exercise.

Completely unique interest is found for trips to British Isles. As the “Home of Golf” and with so many famous, highly regard courses available for visitor play, Scotland and Ireland in particular provide a level of golf experience which does not exist elsewhere in the world. The types of courses ("links" golf courses are the most popular), and their historical significance all work together to create an ambience that is impossible to duplicate. Another specific interest is attendance to The Open, sometimes referred to as The British Open or The Open Championship, which is the oldest of golf’s four major professional championships played each year during the 3rd week of July.

Significance of destinations - Scotland is widely regarded as the "Home of Golf" and as result many golfers wish to play golf where the game was invented. Golf is unique as a sport due to a profound interest in the history and traditions of the game. Golf throughout the British Isles is also viewed as a significantly different experience due to the type of golf course, links style courses, which are characterized by their seaside location among natural sand dunes, minimal trees and water hazards, plus fast, firm fairways and greens For our other destinations, the interest lies somewhere between quality golf experiences and lifestyle choices. Travel to enjoy a new golf course AND a different culture.

Target Audience

PerryGolf serves primarily two target audiences among international golf travelers: groups of men and groups of couples. Groups of men, or “buddy trips”, typically prefer to play Scotland and Ireland for 6-8 days in groups of 4-12. Australia’s Sandbelt golf region near Melbourne is another popular destination for the men. Couples enjoy the British Isles as well of course, but their non golf travel interests lead them around the world. Our Mediterranean destinations plus South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are booked almost exclusively by couples, as are our golf cruises. Couples itineraries typically combine golf with local activities ranging from safaris and sightseeing to wine tastings and cooking classes. In either case, couples or men, our clientele ranges in age from 45 – 70+. Geographically, they are found throughout the United States. Nearly all of our clients are members of higher end private golf and country clubs.

Key Client Questions

In order for a PerryGolf Travel Specialist to prepare a customized quotation, we require just a few questions be answered. This provides sufficient data that we can formulate the initial proposal which serves as a road map for the final itinerary. It helps everyone involved in the process as it focuses the client's attention on a specific plan.

  1. How many golfers & non golfers (if any) in the group?
  2. What are the preferred dates of travel?
  3. Is local transportation requested in a VIP Golf Coach with Concierge Driver or self drive?
  4. What type of accommodation is preferred, e.g small country house, deluxe hotel, first class hotel, single or double occupancy?
  5. Do they have any specific golf courses they wish to play? (Ideally, prioritize the important courses.)

Escorted Tour & Cruises
