Real Golfers.
Real Holidays.
Real Service.
We have been building golf trips for over four decades. Not algorithms. Not chatbots. People who play the game, know the courses, and pick up the phone.
Our Story
Golf Planet Holidays started in 1981 as a small, family-run company in Brentwood, Essex. Our founders were golfers first and travel agents second — and that has never changed.
For over four decades, we have been sending golfers to the world's greatest courses. From the Algarve to Abu Dhabi, from St Andrews to South Africa — we have played them all, stayed in the hotels, and know exactly which tee times to book.
Today, we remain proudly independent. No private equity. No call centres. Just a small team of passionate golfers who care about one thing: giving you the golf holiday of a lifetime.

What Our Golfers Say
Rob went above and beyond organising our group of 16 in the Algarve. Every tee time, every transfer, every restaurant sorted. We just turned up and played.
Spoke to Simon who recommended Bulgaria instead of Spain. Half the price, incredible courses, and the hotels were five star. We're going back next year.
Third year running booking through Golf Planet. They remember what we liked, what we didn't, and always find something better. That's proper service.
