The art of golf travel
More than golf, it's the details and care that make our tours so special.
Golf is our passion. Creating an unforgettable experience is our craft.
"Our group of eight recently enjoyed an unforgettable golf trip to Barnbougle. From the moment we started planning, every detail was taken care of. We were so impressed that we're already looking at Melbourne's Sandbelt, and we'll absolutely be going through Gavin again. 5 stars without hesitation."

"Gavin was instrumental in pulling together a bucket-list excursion to St Andrews. Having local knowledge and boots on the ground was so helpful when we needed extra assistance. The golf was incredible, the food amazing and our crew have been raving about it for weeks after."

"Can’t thank Gavin enough for putting together this trip, if you’re looking at visiting NZ or anywhere for the first time Gavin can put an elite itinerary together for you. Everything was seamless from accommodation to tee times. Having his knowledge and connections made the trip possible and I can’t wait to organise the next one."

Mark and I cannot thank you enough for all you did to make our two week golf trip to Australia truly a once in a lifetime experience. Everything was perfect - from the hotels with the best views of the city, the incredible golf courses, all of our evening meals, the private transportation around Sydney and Melbourne, and the unforgettable air charter to Tasmania where we spent time enjoying the adorable wallabies. All of the planning you did in advance, your ability to get us tee times at Australia’s very finest golf courses (nine of which are in the World's Top 100), and dinner reservations at so many amazing restaurants made for an EPIC journey! We so appreciate your attention to every detail while we were in Australia, including introducing us to a number of your friends who further enhanced our appreciation for all things Aussie. We will highly recommend you and The Pure Golfer to all of our friends and look forward to traveling with your company again!

I met Gavin Stewart, the owner of The Pure Golfer, at the pro shop in Ter Arai, New Zealand. We hit it off immediately, talking about golf courses we loved, have played or wanted to play. When I learned that Gavin was in the business of organizing customized golf trips I decided to give him a try. My wife and I had played several times in Ireland and Scotland, spending the past two summers splitting our time between the two countries, but we had never played in England. I did some research and gave Gavin a list of courses and he took it from there. He planned every detail of a spectacular trip, including multiple Rota courses, gems in Devon and Cornwall, and numerous courses around Liverpool. He picked terrific, boutique hotels, with lots of charm (if not many lifts) and also planned days for us hiking in Dartmoor National Park and exploring the Yorkshire Dales ( meeting my wife's need to see the location of All Creatures Great and Small). Gavin took care of special details, like getting luggage and golf bags shipped to our first hotel in England since we were going on a river cruise in Central Europe before golf, and followed up with me every step of the way. When I gave him feedback on hotel parking issues he immediately researched the parking for the remainder of the hotels on the trip and sent me detailed instructions to ease our way. In short, Gavin listens to our needs, responds in a timely manner, and is not satisfied with just"ok". I have used several trip planners previously, but none offer the customized, personal attention, that Gavin provides. He clearly cares about, and understands, customer satisfaction. When he doesn't know something, he says so, then does research. Few people respond like that. I feel so comfortable with Gavin that my wife and I have already given him the go ahead to plan 3 more extended trips over the next year. In short, The Pure Golfer is a pure gem.

What a beautiful two weeks we’ve had in Australia celebrating our 47th anniversary!
Gavin has been delightful to work with, planning and executing all the details that made this trip a memorable experience.
From the moment we arrived, Gavin had our driver waiting for us.
He made sure to book the best hotels with rooms with exceptional views, reservations at the best restaurants along with securing the perfect tables, plus arranging tee times at Australia's finest golf courses. We even had the opportunity to play with several of his friends, which was so special.
His attention to detail is second to none!
We played 13 rounds of golf at spectacular courses in Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula & Sydney. One of the highlights of our trip was seeing Kangaroos on our anniversary.
This was a bucket list trip and Gavin delivered on every detail. This is why we use him! Every detail was spectacular!
We can’t wait for our next adventure & have no doubt that it will be as incredible as this one.
