Time Of Our Lives!

My sister and I had the time of our lives. After waiting almost 3 years to get to Scotland for the 150th Open at St Andrews, it was well worth the wait.   

It was great golf and ‘A Walk through History’! It was amazing how much history we learned around St Andrews and how much golf had to do with that history.  

Scotland is a beautiful place and we look forward to visiting the country again very soon. 

Thanks again Derek for assisting us on our travels so that we had the opportunity to be there for such a wonderful and memorable event. 

Our 150th Open Adventure & Golfing Experience!

Hi Derek & Ken

Our 150th Open adventure and golfing experience was two years in the making and GHW Golf Tours delivered beyond all expectations. Derek, David, and Paul treated us like family which made our trip all the more memorable… 

We had an absolutely fabulous time on our Scotland Golf Adventure. Can't thank you and your team enough for providing us with a phenomenal experience. Wishing you all the best until next time. 

150th Open Trip

Hello Derek, 

Overall it was a wonderful trip ! No travel or baggage issues at all. Also managed to not wreck the rental car, and only got honked at once.

You folks have round abouts like we have traffic lights. The narrow roads were a bit unnerving at times, especially when the double decker busses passed by.

Loved Dumbarnie and the caddies, a very playable track.

Crail Balcomie was nuts, strongest wind I've ever played in. Was a shooting gallery from my point of view. Course was pack with players and was unnerving to my son, hits it much further than I, kept worrying about hitting into folks. Some very cool holes there and hillier than I expected. The walk up from the 18th green could be a issue for some folks with heart conditions.

Has been sometime since I walked that much, probably back to my college days at Michigan State. Staying at David Russell made it possible to walk to down and the tournament. 

Many thanks to you and Carly for helping make this happen.

My son Matt already said he wants to visit Scotland again, me too for that matter.

Derek, Thanks again for the trip of a lifetime!

What an amazing week it has been. It ended much too soon. I want to thank you for making this the trip of my life. I’ll probably never set foot on Scottish soil again but I’m so very thankful to have had this experience. 

I must thank you for making certain David was our driver & guide. What a joy he is to just be around. He went out of his way to make our visit the best it could be. He is certainly an asset to GHW Golf Tours.

Thanks again for an amazing experience. Couldn’t have asked for more. We would not hesitate to use GHW Golf Tours for future trips. Can never thank you enough!! Oh yeah, and David too!!!

The 150th Open @ St Andrews

Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful experience for us. My family had the most memorable experience at The Open. Derek, the Director of GHW Golf Tours was very easy to work with and was always accessible if needed. Thank you!

The Ultimate Scotland Golf Tour

Derek & Ken

I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful trip. Here are the highlights;

The courses you picked were spectacular. Three British Open courses and a Ryder Cup course on three consecutive days is bucket list worthy. Starting at Turnberry  was such a great introduction to Scotland, and getting to play King Robert The Bruce was an unexpected treat which everyone appreciated. The hotel and food were excellent at Turnberry…really exceptional service.

I cannot say enough great things about Andrew our driver.  Fun, engaging, and just a great ambassador for the trip. The amount of driving we did was expected but in hindsight we may have jammed in a little too much.

The restaurants you set up worked out great.  Timely, food was good, and the meals were relaxing. All the hotels were great except the Rusack’s in St Andrews. We were tired upon our late arrival and the staff and service did nothing to change that. I know that was not the first choice.

The helicopter ride from Kingsbarns to North Berwick was something I will always remember. Thank you for organizing that. 

Having surveyed the guys, their favourite course was Turnberry Ailsa (despite the heavy rain), Royal Troon, and Kingsbarns. Gullane was played in 45 mph winds which was crazy but fun and memorable. Never shy away from recommending the Glen. Local, gorgeous, more challenging than expected, and a great way to finish our trip.

It's not often that you have the ability to create a memory of a lifetime and change somebody’s life….the two of you accomplished both with an incredible trip.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
