1st Tee Treks • Golf Holiday Guide
More Than Just a Golf Holiday
A golf development holiday is for golfers who want more from their time away than simply playing a different course each day. It combines great golf and memorable destinations with the opportunity to work purposefully on your game.
Tuition, development sessions, masterclasses and time on the golf course all form part of the experience, giving you opportunities to develop different areas of your game throughout the holiday.
Just as importantly, it should still feel like a holiday: enjoyable golf, good company, beautiful surroundings and the chance to make new friends and great memories along the way.
Understanding the Difference
What Is a Golf Development Holiday?
A golf development holiday brings together the enjoyment of travelling, making new friends, and playing golf with purposeful opportunities to work on and develop your game.
Tuition, development sessions and masterclasses form part of the experience, alongside time on the golf course where you can continue putting that development into practice.
Rather than simply playing several rounds of golf while you are away, the aim is to make the golf itself more rewarding by giving you opportunities to learn, develop and enjoy your game in a supportive group environment.
While tuition is an important part of the holiday, our approach goes much further than a traditional golf tuition holiday. We call it a Golf Development Holiday because your game continues to develop through tuition, development sessions, masterclasses, practice and time on the golf course.
Purposeful Development
How Do Tuition and Development Work?
Tuition, development sessions and masterclasses are woven throughout the holiday, giving you opportunities to work on different areas of your game and build on them as the holiday progresses.
Golfers arrive with different games, different strengths and different areas they would like to develop, so the tuition is shaped around the needs of the group and the golfers within it.
Time on the golf course is an important part of that development, allowing what has been worked on during the range and short game sessions to continue in a real playing environment.
Golf Development for You
Who Are Golf Development Holidays For?
Golf development holidays are suitable for all golfers all levels of experience and for those with different ambitions for their game.
One golfer may be looking for greater consistency, another may want to improve a particular area of their game, and some may be looking to refine their game and take their ability to the next level.
You do not all need to be working on the same thing. What matters is that you enjoy your golf and would like the opportunity to develop your game while enjoying a memorable golf holiday.
Friendly From the Start
Can I Come on My Own?
Absolutely. Some guests join us along with family and friends, while others come on their own and make new friends. Many guests rebook with new friends for future trips.
We are Ben and Loretta a husband-and-wife team and are with you throughout the holiday, helping to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere from the moment everyone arrives.
Because everyone is sharing the same golf development experience, playing together and spending time as a group, it is easy to get to know the other golfers and make new memories together.
Meals, golf, practice time and evening activities over a glass of wine provide many opportunities to get to know the other golfers in your group.
From Practice to Play
How Does Development Continue on the Course?
Time on the golf course is an important part of the development experience. It gives you the opportunity to take what you have worked on during tuition, development sessions and masterclasses into a real playing environment.
As the holiday progresses, different parts of your game can be developed through a combination of practice, learning and purposeful time on the course.
This allows the development to feel connected rather than separate, with each part of the holiday building naturally on the last.
