Golfing holidays that are way above par.

Whether you're a weekend golfer or someone to whom the game is a great and abiding passion, Buchanan's have a range of golfing holidays that are perfect for you. And whether you're UK-based or a visitor to Britain, we guarantee you the best in courses, hotels, travel and all-round customer service - the kind of service, in fact, that brings back over 80% of clients year after year.

Creating the perfect golfing experience.

Putting together the ideal golfing holiday isn't just a case of picking a number of golf courses and making the appropriate arrangements. At Buchanan's, we go much further - beginning with a rigorous assessment of the courses themselves and the amenities on offer.

We commission a professional golfer to work with us to create the perfect golfing vacation. We visit and play 99% of the courses we select, seeing for ourselves the course layout and yardage, checking the condition of the fairway and the greens and assessing natural or man-made hazards. With bunkers, for example, we look for good placement in fairways when driving from tee to green and their placing around the greens. Checking out the rough, we assess first and second cut according to length, thickness and maintenance. On the greens, meanwhile, we check for speed, undulation and how the borrows run true.

We even check out the professional shop for stock of electric trolleys, balls, tees, course planners and so on, and for golf buggy hire. And we make sure that putting greens, driving nets and car parks are up to our standard, together with amenities such as changing rooms and showers. Last but by no means least, we look for a high comfort level, good food, a welcoming atmosphere and the highest standards of customer service.

Golf for the busy executive.

It's common for business visitors to the UK to find themselves with time to kill between flights or before theire flight home. On such occasions, the last thing you'll want to do is spend several hours waiting at Heathrow or Stansted!

Instead of kicking your heels, why not take the opportunity to play a game of golf at Wentworth, Sunningdale or one of the other celebrated British courses? You don't have to bring your clubs with you: make a call to Buchanan's and we will not only arrange a game for you at the course of your choice but take care of clubs and shoes hire. We'll pick you up from your hotel and chauffeur you to and from the course, ensuring that you arrive at the airport in good time for your flight home.

And not forgetting your partner …

Strange though it may seem, a round of golf isn't always everyone's idea of fun! If you're visiting the UK with a partner or business colleague who doesn't play the game, Buchanan's can take care of them while you're out on the course. The possibilities are limitless: a sightseeing tour, perhaps, or a chauffeur-driven shopping trip to London's most exclusive stores. If your partner fancies a little pampering, we can book a day at a recommended health farm within easy reach of your hotel. And if you have an evening stopover and would like to take in a West End show, we can obtain tickets for you and, of course, put a door-to-door chauffeur service at your disposal for as long as you need it.

Golf days with Buchanan's

Whether you're entertaining important business visitors or saying a thank you to key staff, golf days offer a superb means of mixing business with pleasure. Buchanan's can make all the arrangements for you, according to your choice of venue, 18 hole or 36 hole format, and the number of people you wish to entertain. We can organise prizes - for team and individual winners, for example, or for the longest drive - and provide a corporate welcome pack comprising contents such as polo shirt and golf balls to order. And we will provide meals, snacks and light refreshments according to your requirements.
