At
last a 5 star golfing
holiday that even Tiger would take up. The Perfect Golfers Break
The
full
article will be published within the next few days for the present you
can read the press release which refers to the article. Sorry for the
delay and thank you for visiting Golf south west France
 At last a 5 star golfing
holiday that even Tiger would
take up. The Perfect golfers break
GolfSouthWestFrance.com
and LaGiraudiere.com
have joined forces to
produce a truly all in 5 star golfing holiday.
This golfing holiday is
a “hole in one” when compared to what has been
offered to
us golfers before.
Every
thing, even the selection of restaurants, is taken care of. You
just relax and concentrate on your golf.
February this year I received an invite to participate on a test run of
the golfing holidays offered by
GolfSouthWestFrance.com and in return I
was to write an article for their website. Well you can imagine I could
hardly drag myself away and almost forgot my box of pens.
If, like me, you
take in a golfing break each year and again, like
me,
you normally have to make the
arrangements for your group then you will
be pleased to know that at last a complete golfing holiday is now
available. Why do I say a complete? I hear you say. Well, a golfing
holiday is normally a holiday with the golf bit thrown
in by some hotel
or some major travel company that is based in New York or London and
are either selling hotels or travel. GolfSouthWestFrance.com are based
in, yes you guessed SouthWest France
and they are selling golf. By
specializing in the region of SouthWest France they know the golf
courses, the best excursions, restaurants and lodgings that are
available after all that is their base.
To quote a page from their website “They do not claim to
cover
the whole of France which would be difficult, they do not claim to
cover the whole of Europe, very difficult, and they certainly do not
claim to cover the whole of the world which is simple
impossible“.
Having played some of the best golf courses
around the world I would remark,
to my surprise, that I found the courses in southwest France to be of a
very high standard. I also noted that they did not have the conveyor
belt golf that I found in Spain and Portugal. Also with this tour you
get your own personal tour assistant who is with you throughout your
holiday and makes sure that everything goes to plan. Everything was
included to the extent that I could have left my wallet and credit
cards at home. A brief run down of what is included is,
Travel
- Return trip. Currently being offered through rail Europe with
a London Waterloo departure
Transfers
- Point of arrival - accommodation - depart
Accommodation
- Hotel, Holiday Villages or Gite Complexes - I am
informed by the tour operator that the criteria for accommodation is
based as follows “Accommodation varies depending on the time
of
year the numbers in the group. We use Hotels, Holiday Villages and Gite
Complexes. We select accommodation to enhance and contribute towards a
club-tour spirit. Pleasant surroundings, comfortable
accommodation, good ambiance and a bar within 1km are the
criteria.”
Meals
- Breakfast and Dinner enjoy local cuisine at local restaurants
culminating with a
Presentation dinner at the Chateaux Restaurant de la Tallyrand
Transportation
- To and from the golf courses and restaurants
Green fees
- For all the golf courses within the itinerary
Travel Pack
- Information on the golf courses and the golf tour.
Personal
Attention - yes a personal assistant with the
group throughout
your tour.
Excursions
- All your pre arranged excursions
Taxes
- Local, travel or otherwise
To summarise, Having played in the finals of the 1995 Volvo  World
Amateur Golf Tournament in Dubai I do know what
is like to receive the
5 star treatment that normally only high ranking professional receive
and I have to say GolfSouthWestFrance have got very close to that
quality.
“Well
done GolfSouthWestFrance I think you have laid down the
standards and set the par and you are going to be a hard act to
follow”
- Trevor WILLIAMS
 Future
Plans - Currently the point of departure is
London but more
departure points are planned as the marketing goes throughout the UK.
Golf South West
France inform me that there
are also plans for
marketing the tours in the USA which will include
the flights to
Europe. Golfers from the USA can take part now by
arranging there own
travel from the States to the UK or Paris at which point Golf
South
West France will prepare the rest.
