Every journey is designed for the people taking it. This page shows one version of the trip: the route, the courses and the pace can all change to suit your group, and so will the price. The figure at the top is a guide based on a party of four in a recent season, not a quotation. Green fees, hotel rates and flight fares are set by the properties and operators and move with dates and availability; we confirm everything in writing before you commit to anything.
Not included: international flights to and from the first and last city, gratuities, and anything you decide on once you are there.
