A Few Comments from our Clients - 2005

All-inclusive Cortijo Blanco
Thank you for arranging our golf holiday, as you know we were on a budget, so the [Cortijo Blanco] accommodation was basic but clean as was the rest of the hotel. The courses we thought could have been in a bit better condition but it was rather warmer than the expected 20C in fact most days were in the region of 26+ We also thought the cost of hiring buggies was expensive,but they were a definite requirement on the courses we played as they were hilly in places and long but very scenic and it was a pleasure more than a toil. Anyway if the wife lets me go next year I will certainly be in touch.
Thanks Again Ian White, Tingley, UK, October, 2005

Golf Holiday to Puerto Banus
The arrangements for the golf holiday were great. Everything was as planned, as per the agreement & delighted to say it all went to plan. I would have no hesitation in using your services again or recommending you to friends.
Again, thank you Mike Cooper, Leicestershire, UK, September, 2005

Costa del Sol holiday
The trip was great and didn't have any major problems. The [Cortijo Blanco] hotel was typical of 3-star accommodations but all other amenities and food were great. The golf course was high class and deserves recommendation. I wish I would have tried 1 or 2 additional courses if that was an option. Only had a problem with directions once we left Jerez airport which put us about 1hr out of our way. Not sure how many use Jerez airport to get to Costa Del Sol but it is easy to miss the Algeciras exit if driving. There is not really an exit from the toll road to Algeciras. Instead, look for the street sign posted for Algeciras and turn left...this is either a stop light or roundabout, not a stop sign. Also, once you get on the road to Algeciras/Malaga this is about an hours drive versus 40min depending on traffic. Then the road from Gibraltor to San Pedro is about another 40min to an hour depending on traffic so the entire drive is a good 2hrs or more (took us almost 3 for getting lost). Anyway, the service from Course Master was great and the prices quite reasonable. We would use in the future and also recommend your services.
Thanks again. Dave & Del Fitzgerald, Suffolk, UK, July, 2005

Just returned from a fantastic holiday to Estepona Spain - 12 persons all inclusive + 5 rounds of golf + car Many thanks for a very enjoyable package. Excellent!!
Dave Hollingworth, South York, UK, October, 2005

Thanks to everyone at Course Master for making our holiday a sucess. With regards to the service we received from your company I cannot compliment your professionalism enough. Regarding the courses we played during our stay in Spain; La Quinta was in excellent condition and probably the most enjoyable of the three. Torrequebrada was also very good. Cabopino was not in the best of condition when we played it with both the tees and fairways being a little "shoddy", it was still nevertheless enjoyable to play with some breathtaking scenery. Thanks once again for your help wih our bookings.
Best Regards Craig Ramsay, Finland, October, 2005

Enjoyable holiday in Puerto Banus
For sure we have enjoyed our golf holidays. Every thing has functioned perfect. So here from us we will say well done. We intend to use your company next time we go on golf holidays. We also will recommend your company to our family and friends.
Best regards Jens Erik Nielson, Denmark, November, 2005

We just got back an hour ago from a great holiday in Palmanova. The golf, weather, hotel and food were great. Direstions to courses were good apart from diversion due to roadworks. Santa Ponsa is by far the best course - Son Antem was OK but Poniente has deteriorated quite a bit. God its bloody cold back home Cant wait for next trip
Tony Worrall, Lancs, UK, November, 2005

Some feedback on the Sotogrande, MonteCasillo and Vila Gale hotels and the two rounds you booked for me at Valderama and Montecasillo. The Sotogrande hotel is top notch ... I would go back in a flash ... tastefully decorated without a hint of overselling itself ..... Valderama is also a top of the line golf course ... knew it would be .... Êworth every penny ... not every day mind you ..... but certainly worth it. The MonteCastillo hotel was also very nice ... not as nice as the Sotogrande ... but high end and well presented ... their golf course .... I'd say is so ... so ... it has a lot of house construction going on around it and could be classified as a "community course" ( holes whip in and out of areas, across streets and back and forth) ...... not my cup of tea ... soon there will be too many houses about. ... not enough seclusion. I would probably not make a trip there again. The Vilamoura - Vila Gale was ok ... your classic resort hotel .. you get what you would expect from it ... except that they continually play disco music in the lounge/bar area .... very tacky and out of date . Hope this helps.
Thanks again. Regards, Chris De Cairos, Ontario, BC, December, 2005

thanks to all at CMGH for all the help and organisation for our holiday. Everyone, golfers and non-golfers, thoroughly enjoyed their week in Torrevieja. Regarding the golf courses, in general, everything was fine. However, you may wish to note the following comments, generally agreed by our members. Las Ramblas. Exciting course, but too many 'blind' holes and shots, especially for those playing course for first time. Probably a fine course had we played it twice. This is a point to note when advising visitors. Would prbably play again, now that we have some knowledge of the course. Villamartin. What should be an excellent course has poorly maintained fairways and greens. Course management very poor. Needs a wake-up call! Would not play again, nor recommend to friends. La Finca. Almost everyone in our party agreed that this is the finest and nicest course we have ever played on any of our European trips. First class course management with well kept fairways and excellent (challenging) greens. Would certianly play again ...... and again! Mosa Trajectum. The 2 nine hole courses making up our round were entirely different. The Stones course is the most bizarre course ever played by any of our members. Considering we all live in Scotland and have played most of the courses in our country between us, no-one has ever come across a course with rockeries surrounding the fairways .... and bunkers. The Stones courseÊmay look interesting and pretty, but generally considered a stupid design. Almost impossible to play a shot from off the fairways. Reluctant to recommend the Stones course. The Olive course, by contrast, isÊchallenging but very sensible. Well organised and managed fairways and greens. Most enjoyable. Would recommend. Transfers Excellent.Ê The coaches were all modern, clean and comfortable. The coach company was very helpful, trying to adjust pick-up times to suit our needs on the day. 2 poitive instances come to mind about their helpfulness. One of our party was due to arrive in Alicante, from Birmingham, about 1 hour after our main party on 21 October. The coach drivers could not wait, but their company organised a car for our friend. The second instance was on the day we played Villamartin, when 1 of our party slipeed and suffered a compound fracture of his wrist. When we asked for a taxi to be called for our friend to be taken to hospital, the coach driver, who had arrived very early for our pick-up, drove our members to hospital. (This did lead to a bit of a mix-up later on, but that's not a problem). Communications Jim Borsman and office staff were absolutely first class. Jim and I kept in touch regularly, and this ensured any 'problems' were nipped in the bud quickly. Nothing seemed to be a bother to Jim and it was a pleasure speaking with him. Summary. CMGH will be the first organisation we call on for our next European trip which will probably be sometime in 2007. I don't know if you are in the habit of dealing with parties of 35 but you certainly organised ours.
Thanks to you and all of your team. Brian Keenan, October, 2005

Just to let you know that we were very pleased with the courses you booked for us. They were both of high quality and the service was excellent. We would also like you to pass on our thanks to your man in Spain, Santiago. He was very helpfull and even assisted us with advice and also helped with sorting a hotel for my group. Once again my thanks to you all and I will be back in touch for my next booking.
Regards, Larry Compton, UK, October, 2005

I was going to mail you re my booking to thank you for your help. The staff at the Marquesa were very friendly and the comment made when i produced the voucher was "perfecto". The course was in good order and we had an enjoyable day. I will certainly recommend Course Master to my fellow golfers,
Kind regards Dave Thompson, Chorley, UK, November, 2005

Poggio dei Medici, Italy
We did indeed have a good holiday Thank you . The golf course was very nice and it was lovely Monday to Friday. The weekends were however a bit of a nightmare and I would not include a weekend again. We arrived 5 ish on theÊSaturday and checked our tee time for the Sunday which you had givenÊus as 1. 30 The pro shop said this was not possible as they had a club competition of both tees all day. However we were welcome to join the competition,whichÊwe did. The draw wasÊmade on Sat evening and we asked for a late tee time. My husband was notÊwell so we went to bed before the draw. On reporting to the pro shop at 9 am on the Sunday (in thick fog) we were told we had missed our teetime of 8 50 and it could not be rearranged. The following weekend we were leaving lateÊpm in order to play before leaving. There was however a club competition and practice rounds for the Jaguar finals on the Sunday and no tee time was available. A dayÊby the pool was no hardship but on trying to have lunch we were told it was all booked. As the hotel had been very quiet during the week it would have beenÊconsiderate to warn us that Sat would be busy and that we needed to book. Sandwiches were available at the pool but as my husband has a wheat allergy it was not much useÊ. The hotel was very comfortable and Reception very helpful and we enjoyed the course for its difficulty, condition and views,all of which were very good. but we did feel unwanted at the weekends.
Pat Vincent, Essex, UK, September, 2005

Once again I had a trouble free experience with your tee bookings. Thank you. One negative aspect was the fact that I was not made aware that there would be temporary greens in play at Oliva Nova on some holes. When you are paying top dollar green fees, this is annoying. Either I should have been advised so I could book elsewhere, or reduced green fee should have been offered. Otherwise you just become a ticket box office and I would have thought that you considerd your organisation as being more than this (maybe not?) I would definitely use you again but would appreciate more up to date information on course status.
Regards Stewart Rothnie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, October, 2005

Las Lomas Village and Spa, La Manga
Had a fantastic holiday, accommodation first class, my friends were very impressed. Golf courses excellent, only problem we had was when playing the South Course, although we had no one behind us, a very rude official asked us to speed up, with no explanation offered, only that he was in charge, and we had to follow his orders. It did spoil the round a little. Apart from that we had a marvellous time, could you price up similar break For the last week in September next year, for 4 nights, 2 x 2 bedroom apartments, remainder of holiday same details as previous.
Regards Allan Cord, Weston Super Mare, UK, October, 2005

Puerto Banus
Thanks for assisting with our best ever golf trip. Helped no end by perfect weather. All three courses and the [Park Plaza Suites] hotel would be recommended by the group.
Many Thanks Nick Wright, October, 2005, Essex, UK

Benabola Fab
The [Benabola] hotel was fab as were all the staff, we have used it for about 4 years and would like a price for next year as well please. One price for a single room apartment, and one for a twin room apartment. Both with car hire but no golf. It will be in September from a Friday to a Monday as before. One other thing we ordered a bottle of Champagne which was in the room when we got there and when we left we went to pay and they said it was in the price?? if you have been charged for this let me know and I will settle it up with Ron. Regards to Ron and the team
Dave and Jan Rees, Gwent, UK, September, 2005

La Manga
La Manga Club is really brilliant, this includes in particular also the academy. I have no complaints.

La Cala Resort
I just spent a wonderful holiday in La Cala Resort. Do you have any packages for Thailand available. Thank you and regards from Switzerland
Willy Scheiwiller, Switzerland, October, 2005

San Roque
..thanks for following up on the holiday. The resort was lovely and easy to find...although some of the directions to San Roque suites were missing. However after a wrong turn we finally found it. You might want to add after you turn off at the highway and go right you will come to a dead end and you must turn left. That should help others. My hubby was not terribly impressed with San Roque's old course but Valderamma was worth it! He was impressed BUT after all that worry with his handicap letter they never asked for it and then put him in a foursome of 'hackers..' not quite in keeping with his abilities so hmmm...whatever. He still enjoyed it. Again thanks for all your help. It was a lovely little spot and very quiet that weekend and not raining..and it had been so we were lucky! Have a great one and next golf trip I will call you,
Karen Ashbee, Alberta, Canada, October, 2005

Monte Duquesa
we had a great time, the weather was simply perfect and Alcadesa Links is simply a dream. The course was in top conditions and the views are simply stunning. Our round at Alcadesa did include a 3 course meal which was a nice surprise as well. La Canada was very good as well but I knew that already as I've played there last year. They 'burnt' the fairway by cutting it too short but it was still in very good condition (it was like playing from a soft carpet), it just was brown instead of green. I probably won't be playing Estepona again. The fairways weren't in a very good condition. The villa we had was quite nice and had enough space for 6. It had a nice view on the Duquesa Golf course and we only had to duck for cover once when someone hooked his ball into our garden :-) It would be good if you could offer cars from a different car rental. We had to queue for about one hour to get our car. We are already thinking of going again next Spring, but this time to Portugal.
Regards Immo Benjes, Surrey, UK, October, 2005

Petit Hotel - Ses Cases de Pula
The whole thing from start to finish was excellent. Detail for car hire , airport, directions etc etc first class. The Pula Suites was superb.Very unusual we even spent time with the actual owner.Very keen on golf himself. The Mallorce Open is at Pula today and over the week-end.
Thanks again, Trevor Shelton, Peterborough, UK, September, 2005

Just returned from the break you were good enough to arrange for us in Spain. Had a great time, all arrangements worked out a treat and the hotel was superb. I hope to use your services again sometime in the new year, but keep me posted on any special offers, Dubai in particular seems a must visit/golf place. Many thanks again for your efforts in the trips I have used your company for, and I would happily recommend your firm to any interested parties.
Regards Alan Adam, Bedfordshire, UK, October, 2005

Vilamoura holiday
I thought I would give you some feedback on the vacation we just had in Vilamoura staying at the Dom Pedro Marina from 1st until 8th October. This is intended to help you improve the package. Everything was good with the transfers from and to the airport and the quality of the hotel where we benefited from having two suitesÊ(rooms 103 and 104) between 3 golfers. Overall we enjoyed the vacation except for: The buses to transfer from the hotel to each golf course and back wereÊvery poor. There were apparently only 3 eight seater buses serving the 5/6 courses and all the hotels. This meant waits up to 50 minutes which made planningÊvery difficult because you had to go ask for a bus only when you were ready to leave. I complained but was met with a "take it or leave it" attitude. I told the hotel staff that this was the kind of thing that turns people off and would certainly cause them to lose business.The previous year in the same resort it was quite different and we had no problems. The Old Course is now suffering from its popularity. We had a 6 hour round and waited on every shot. The third hole is a difficult par 3 which backed up about 4Êsuccessive 4 balls. On the other courses we noticed how much more crowded and how long the rounds were compared with last year. Anyway no real problems we could not deal with but we will try somewhere different next year.
Regards Martin Read, Berks, UK, October, 2005

I do have a few comments: 1. Don Cayo The fairways, particularly the first, were heavily covered with sand thus not allowing the ball to roll after impact. This made iron shots very difficult. 2. Oliva Nova Three of the first nine holes had temporary greens. We were not told about this when we booked in and still paid a full price. The Club Office should, at least out of courtesy, have advised us.
Regards, Graham M. Radford, UK, October, 2005

We had a great time thanks, and the organization from your company was very good, so a big thanks to Jim!!! We will we coming back next year and will use you again!!
Regards, Ron Ricketts, Cheshire, UK, September, 2005

I would like to thank Jim from your office for the very helpful and friendly service that he gave us. Alicante Golf Course was my favourite and was in the best condition, I would say immaculate and a reasonable challenging course. A buggy hear is essential as there is quite a distance between green and the next tee. Bonalba Golf Course was the second best for me although a couple of the greens had some bad bare patches on. The course was probably the hardest of the 4 that I played. This course can be walked easily and they hire electric trolleys as well as buggies. Alenda Golf Course had fantastic views. A couple of the early fairways had some nasty bare patches but overall the condition was very good. A buggy here is essential, quite hilly and a LONG way between some greens and the next tee. La Sella was a very tight course. This was the only course where the buggies were not allowed on the fairways, so IF I play this one again , then I would use a trolley. This course was the only one that seemed VERY unorganised. The allocated tee time was basically ignored and it was very obvious that players simply turn up and play. The caddie master just tried to keep every one happy but the waiting was annoying and when we finished, the 1st and the 10th tee had about 20 golfers on each, waiting to tee off. I hope that this info is helpful to you. I will be thinking about organising a trip in February/March of next year so I will be in touch with you in the near future. Many thanks again for a first class service.
David Lloyd, Somerset, UK, February, 2006

Vila Gale Albacora
Congratulations on arranging an excellent holiday. Everything went perfectly. We will definitely be back! We have recommended your company to all our friends.
Mike and Sue Galliard, UK, November 2005

Our golf trip went very smoothly thank you. Your service in arranging the golf reservations was excellent. I look forward to arranging our next trip very soon
Paula Loftus, Knutsford, UK, September, 2005

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on our recent golf holiday in Spain. Miraflores: Nice little course and friendly staff. We chose this one to start with as it looked not too difficult and I retain that view. Very convenient to much of the holiday accommodation. Good facilities but a society had finished just ahead of us and had taken over the bar / eating area for speeches and prize giving which left no space for anybody else. Miraflores suffers from building encroachment and although the course remains attractive some of the building are now very close. Cabopino: We liked this course. Friendly staff with small but adequate facilities. Some interesting holes (3rd especially). A lot of building work going on this year some for course improvement and some for flats and villas. Good course close to the coast and an adequate test for medium / high handicappers. Santa Maria: Big club with plenty of facilities. Course was in in good condition and would be a test for all standards. Some surrounding building work going on but the clubs extensive grounds should protect it. That said, we would not return here. It was very busy and you could not get any other impression than they were pushing as money players through as they could. More money that way! Throughout the round, the course marshals were out and about hurrying play along. When we completed the game we saw a huge queue of players waiting to tee off at the first. The course was far too busy with just 6 minutes between tee times. Overall: We enjoyed our first experience of golf in Spain and your website gave us the information we needed to choice our 3 courses. No problem with the tee bookings. Lots of new golf courses being built. If we go again then we will look further inland which hopefully will take the pressure off the crowds and allow us to relax a little more.
Regards Mike and Helen Winchurch, Cornwall, UK, October, 2005

Rio real very good Los flamingoes very good Santana excellent apart from slowness of the round Almenara good San roque looks tired for the price now Torrequebrada good Atalaya good
Peter Tuesley, Kent, UK, October, 2005

I did enjoy my golf holiday to Marbella. The golf courses we played were very good. Atalaya Old Course - Greens were exeptionally good, layout was ok but not as dramatic as the other 2. Los Naranjos - Good layout, challenging, greens were firmer than the other 2. La Quinta - Excellent layout and good greens - course was vey wet when we played. We really like Marbella as a location and intend to play golf there next year.
Thanks Richard Hudson, Norwich, UK, October, 2005

We had a superb holiday, thanks. Rio Real was a well established, interesting and challenging course. We played with a lovely couple from Norway and had a lovely lunch afterwards in the clubhouse. La Cala was different!! My husband played really well that day and thought the course was fab! I played like a zombie as I was still in shock from the torturous journey up the mountain! (We definitely needed a buggy that day.) The clubhouse was very impressive, as were the views. We hope to return next year
Edna Taylor, Lanarkshire, Scotland, October, 2005

My comments about the courses which I booked through you are as follows: Lauro: We found it difficult to find initially. Perhaps we took a wrong turn along the way. The course of the day comprised of 9 holes of the new course and 9 of the old course. We did not enjoy the new 9 holes at all. The layout comprised of five holes running parallel to each other and all you could here was a chorus of "fores" as people criss-crossed each fairway. The greens were also very poor. The back nine however, which comprised some of the old course was completely different. A nice layout and good greens. We agreed that if we were playing 18 holes of the old course we would have enjoyed the experience. La Quinta: When you hear people talking about good courses on the Costa Del Sol, La Quinta rarely gets mentioned. This is something that we all agreed is very hard to understand because in our opinion, it is definitely one of the best. We are all reasonable golfers (5,11,14 and 17 handicaps) and have played numerous courses along the coast and La Quinta is as good as any we have played. A challenging layout with great variation. Trees, water, narrow fairways, hills, everything comes into play. It is also very well manicured. Even though it was raining very heavily on the day we played, we all agreed that it was a very enjoyable experience. The only negative we felt was the prices they charge for food in the clubhouse!
Regards, Paul Goti, Dublin, Ireland, October, 2005

Vila Gale Tavira
Just to let you know that we had a great week in Portugal. The hotel in Tavira was excellent. The golf was very good, all the arragements were in place. If I decide to go on another golfing holiday I will use your services which I found to be of very high quality.
With best regards Jurek Strelcyn, UK, October, 2005

I had a very good holiday. All three courses were in good condition. However I was surprised to find that oliva Nova had a couple (or three) temporary greens in play. I would have expected to hear about this from you when I booked. I would still have played but am surprised there was no discounted green fee in these conditions. Also it was not pointed out to me when I checked in. Another thing at Oliva Nova was that I bought a stroke saver (at a very low price I must admit) only to find that it was out of date and recent changes were not in it. Once again, this was would not have been a problem for me but I would have expected to have it pointed out to me when I bought it. Small points but there you are. Apart from that a very good experience and hassle free with my vouchers.
Regards Stewart Rothnie, Aberdeenshire, UK, October, 2005

We had a great time and many thanks to Jim who booked the courses for us in Spain, he was very helpful. Regarding the courses, the first course 'Las Ramblas' was not great, it was very busy with a 35 minute wait on the first tee and 15 minute wait on nearly all the others, the course was also very short. Altorreal was the next course we played and this was much more enjoyable with good amenities and a well kept course. Finally we played Mosa Trajectum which was a good course but many of the holes are situated very close to the adjoining villas. We also could not hire buggies at the course as they said you had to pre-order them. I hope this is useful to you. Again I was very happy with the service I received from yourselves and will be using you again in the future.
Regards Simon Moore, Cardiff, UK, October, 2005

Thank you for your assistance in making our golf tee reservations. All of your arrangements worked perfectly and we had a very pleasant break. As far as the Courses were concerned, I would comment as follows:- Villamartin - Good course, very busy. Tee boxes were not in good order as they were trying to re-seed and we were pushed as far forward as it was physically possible. Also the standard of players allowed on lthe course left much to be desired. La Finca - Superb condition of fairways, but greens had just been hollow-tined and dressed, so unfortunately not great. Mosa Trajectum - Very interesting course and extremely difficult. Quite empty as a result. Well worth a return visit. Whole trip was excellent and again thank you for your help. I will certainly be using your services again.
Regards, Ian Jones, Essex, UK, November, 2005

The course I played on the second day, the Alenda was in very poor condition. The greens were not good and the whole course looked as if it had not been watered for a time. The other two courses the Bonalba and the El Plantio were excellent.
regards E McGrotty, Cirencester, UK, October, 2005

Pestana Palm Gardens
According to your request about our holiday at Emporda Golf Club I will tell you that everything was very good. We had problems with the Ryanair flight from Sweden to Gerona on Saturday. The flight was cancelled beacause of problems with the plane. We stayed inÊthe near of the airport an extra nightÊand arrived late Sunday night to Gerona andÊEmporda. Saturday afternoon we called from Sweden to the hotel, to the car company and the golf course for the Sunday golf. All were very understanding and accepted to give us an extra day for accomodation, car hire and golf. What I want to say is that the service we got from yuor partners in Costa Brava when we called them from Sweden and at our late arrival on Sunday night was perfect. All were so kind and helpful which saved our holiday after a bad start. SoÊeven this time we are very happy for the arrangements from you. Thank you!
Kind regards Anita Ahlstorm, Sweden, December, 2005

Generally OK - but he condition of Secret Valley was so appalling, irrespective of the discount that they should not have charged even 50%. Had I known of the condituioin before I went I would not have gome to the expense of taking my clubs with me.
Bryan Elson, Leicester, UK, October, 2005

Golf Apartments Beach and Golf Resort
Gina, the apartment we rent, was big and fine. The "spot" was a little bit lost, a one way road, and although the beach was very near, The Beach was a few km drive. But nevertheless the costs were very moderate and we have had a great stay.
Kind regards, Paul Holtrop, Amsterdam, Netherlands, September, 2005

Vilamoura Villa
With regard to our holiday in Portugal, we had a great time and the arrangements by course master were fine. The rental car was just right and the golf tee times all worked out fine. With regard to the villa we do have the following comments: 1) The basic villa (Which was actually in Villa Sol next door to Vilamoura) was large and very attractive with a nice pool. Was very enjoyable overall but the quality of the beds left something to be desired 2) We did note that it was reallyÊaustere in terms of kitchen equipment for cooking, and hadÊno Microwave. 3) Having no phone service for local calls and very basic TV with only Portugese channels was a bit surprising considering the large quantity of British that come to the Algarve. We will definetly come back to you folks again for a future trip but thought you might want to know some of the above comments
Cheers Larry Martinson, California, USA, July, 2005

I thank you for arranging our golf but thought the below feedback would be most useful for future golfers, especially from those from America. I believe that folks, especially Americans, who want to golf in another country while on holiday, are for the most part, pretty avid golfers. Thus, the below information will make their experience more enjoyable. 1. Ugolino - this course is extremely hilly and I don't think most Americans would find this enjoyable especially since you can't drive on the course! And to complicate matters, the golf cart (buggy) paths are no where to be found and are quite rugged. On American courses, most let you drive on the course some don't but all have well defined and paved golf cart paths! 2. Le Pavionere - nicer than Ugolino but construction of the cart path was an issue as it was at Ugolino. For Americans, I would advise them about the following so folks understand what they are getting in for... 1. renting clubs is very expensive and the clubs are awful! In America, golf courses give you very nice clubs to rent in hopes that you will buy, like the ones being rented, from their golf shop. The rental clubs at these two courses were an embarrassment and most good golfers would be really disappointed. 2. Renting Buggies is extra, which is not always uncommon in American, but these buggies were expensive!!! 3. Warn golfers that tees are not available at the courses. Most all American courses offer free tees and tee markers, and sometimes divot tools. 4. Let golfers know that there is no golf cart with drinks and goodies driving around the course as there are on most all public golf courses in America. Golfers should stock up on water before they start playing. 5. We were told to start on tee box number 10 on both courses, which was fine; however, in both instances, the course was not prepared for golfers on the back 9. The flags were not available on the greens!!!!!!! It makes it difficult to sink your putt! 6. Finally, Ugolino was not familiar with your voucher so they were very tentative about taking the voucher and questioned its authenticity.
Heidi Petrefitte, California, USA, June 2005

Just thought I would let you know that the golf went perfectly. The courses were superb and the organisation was very smooth. Be assured that I will be recommending you to others and using you again.
Best regards, Paul Higginson, July, 2005

My wife & I thought that the service your company provided was excellent - The ease with which we booked courses, and the low costs combined to offer everything that we had hoped for. Your advisors in the main office were highly knowledgeable about the types of courses and their locations, and we found the vouchers contained spot-on directions to both destinations. All tee times were booked, and everything ran like clock-work from first arrival to the first tee. Both courses were in very good condition (Alcaidesa & El Paraiso), and the members were all very friendly. We wouldn't hesitate in using your service again, and actively look forward to doing so!
Kind regards, Alasdair & Ceri Knight, Edinburgh, UK, July 2005

Monte Duquesa
Didn't take my clubs. This was a family holiday. Rudy had us in building 6 in the court with the bars and small cafe. It was very nice, but I'm sure they had the good things for the condo locked up for the owners use only. We had to shop for ice trays and sharp utensils. It was dark when we arrived at the Port and of course we couldn't find our way. We thought Rudy lived in the complex however the local police took Lisa down to the office to get the key and even waited for her to bring a pizza back. So we had pizza and a drink at 11:00 PM. It was very hot during the daybut went down to a comfortable temp at night. Didn't miss AC Talked to your Dad yesterday and told him I would writ e you a note. All turned out well. The care was great (5 on the floor which took a while to get used to) but it took all around the area Ronda Gib and many other little towns. We had a ball ThANKS.

Compostella Beach Golf
We had a great time, the appartment was very nice, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The golf club were also very helpful and my son had a great time. Thanks for all your help and I will certainly recommend you to my sons golfing friends.
Kind regards Carol Ducker, Lancs, UK, July, 2005

The golf was great - particularly Alcanada which is a stunning course with 4 par 5's contributing to the challenge. The course is very well looked after, in fact the greenkeepers were a bit intrusive if anything. Having said that the greens were like velvet although the fairways were over-watered when we played at 8:30 am, which in that climate is understandable. The clubhouse/restaurant was also top quality and if we decide to go back to Alcudia, I will definately check out Alcanada Golf Club. Pollensa was almost as good, apart from the first hole which was a bit scruffy with quite a lot of ground under repair. But of the 2 courses Pollensa offered the most spectacular hole with it's par 5 9th/18th which was simply stunning. Again, clubhouse/restaurant and facilities all excellent.

Our visit to Spain was excellent again. The Marbella / Puerto Buenus area never fails to deliver. it is a very enjoyable part of the world. Ref our hotel, it wasn't the best but it certainly served its purpose for such a large group, and the location is right next door to the main night-life. The Golf Course: Monte Mayor beat me again. At the 3rd time of trying, this ridiculous golf course is a must to any golfer just to experience it. The first time I played I was amazed, hence the reason my brother wanted to go back for his stag du. We've used Course Master for the last 3 years now. Keep up the good work all. You haven't let us down yet!
Kind Regards Martin Grimes, West Yorks, UK, July, 2005

As regards the golf - it was great. However it might be worth getting the individual clubs rules and warning people Unfortunately my son Robert "incurred" the wrath of those old busy bodies you know the sort old men who should have been put down at birth. Can mind their own business and make trouble for any body who they don't like. Unfortunately they were Brits - so they got the force of my tongue in every way possible. These old boys made 4 separate complaints (surprise there were 4 old gits in their party ) about the fact that Robert was putting his clubs in my bag. Evidentially the club had a rule of players must have their own bag - something the club officals had not mentioned when we arrived and saw that we only had one bag. I also think that they had suggested that I had not paid for Robert which of course was not the case. Overall it did not make for a happy first visit but the staff did make up for it. So it might just be worth alerting new players with junior players to be careful of these old gits when playing at Villa Martin
Regards Peter Adams, Berkshire, UK, July, 2005

Thanks for the arrangements, everything worked fine. Our Villa Complex, Carvoeiro Clube, was excellent and located about 5 minutes from the Pestana Golf Resort by car. On the Pestana Golf Resort, we enjoyed the 2 courses and the lunches! Both courses had a Portuguese style. We expected the Pinta course to be superior but in fact the Gramacho course was just as good. On Pinta we were a bit disappointed with the front 9, there was plenty of new villa construction work going on and some very tight holes, the back 9 was much more attractive and enjoyable. Wish we had known about the half price fees after 4.30 pm as you could easily get around before dark. Morgado looked quite new and was more like a standard parkland course, the course was very quiet and inland on a very large site. The clubhouse is at the far end of the course from the entrance along an unmade road so leave extra time or take a 4x4. Travel on the main roads was very easy so next time we will go a little further and play the Championship course at Penina which looked great.
Kind regards Martin Ireland, England, July 2005

We had a great holiday thank you.My husband Michael said that Los Arqueros was a great course to play it must have been they played 9 days out of 14.We would lke to thank you again and will definetly use your service again.

Alhaurin Hotel
We had a wonderful time at Alhourin. The hotel was very well. The golf courses were excellent and everything was just as we could hope for. Thank you for your excellent service. I hope we can make a new trip next year, then you will hear from me.
Best regards Tom Sorlie, Norway, July 2005

We had a nice golf holiday. We were the only participants in the golf clinic - so the training was easy adjusted to our individual levels. The Hotel is very quiet and "in the middle of nowhere" meaning that the car is very essential. We enjoyed our evenings playing golf (visited Mijas Golf (both courses - very nice) and Santa Maria Golf) and visited/dined in Mijas, Malaga and Ronda.

Golf at estapona - lovely course great views and the harder of the two, particularly for the men. el paradisio easier course but still good, obviously popular.
Kindest regards, Sue Chipchase, UK, August, 2005

Just writing to say thanks for all of your help in getting the golf courses and buggies organised. Everything went smoother than I could ever have wished, and the courses were fantastic. Alhaurin got a favourable review from our tour members, we all played well at Mijas, but La Cala North was my favourite course, and Europa had some sublime tee shots. Santana was an amazing day, delighted to get in on the San Miguel Trophy day and we were treated brilliantly at a wonderful golf course. A big thank you to all involved in that. Overall, some fantastic memories and I will not hesitate to use your company again should we be organising a similar trip, which looks very likely next year.
Kind regards Steven Saunders, Edinburgh, Scotland, August, 2005

Back from our hols a week now & just to let you know everything went according to plan. So obviousley, we were very pleased with the service provided and shall not hesitate in recomending you to any of our golfing freinds. Villamartin; Very nice layout, tees fair, fairways fare to good, greens could be better, clubhouse fair. 8/10 Las Ramblas; Superb layout, tees good, fairways excelent, greens excelent, clubhouse poor. 10/10 Mosa Trajectum; Very very difficult layout, tees excelent, fairways fair, greens good, clubhouse good. 7/10 Further to the comments above, i would highly recomend Las Ramblas. Could not fault it for the golf. Villamartin would come recomended but i could not recomend Mosa Trajectum. This course is far too difficult for a anyone with a handicap over 5!! Stay from the very very narrow fairways and you can say goodby to your ball. No rough on the cousre at all, just water and thousands of tons of stone that line 90% of the fairways from tee to green. I would advise you not to recomend this course to anyone who is of a nervous dispositon!!!!!!

Stuart Davidson, Somerset, UK, September, 2005

I would just like to say a big Thank You for all your help in organisingÊour recent golf tour to Portugal. I was very impressed with the quick response to all my queries and the effort made by you to get allocated tee times as close as possible to those requested. Once the tee times were booked the first class service continued with the processing of payments, the confirmation and information you sent out and most importantly everything running smoothly once in Portugal. Thanks once again for such a professional service and I willÊcertainly be using you again for future tours.

Delfim Hotel
Just a note to say we all returned safely from Portugal last week after a thoroughly enjoyable week, all the arrangements went well, vehicles, golf bookings and the hotel. The weather was kind although we arrived in pouring rain and there was very heavy rain one morning but it had stopped by the time we played. Many thanks for your help in arranging this for us.

Parque da Floresta
We thoroughly enjoyed "Parque da Floresta", and we certainly plan to be back some day for another vacation. The accommodation, the Parque da Floresta as a village, its services and facilities were always agreeable, kind and efficient. The place was a bit too windy at times - specially after +- 6.00 p.m. - but that is not unusual for the region. The management was very kind to put a 3-room house at our disposal - a gesture we highly appreciated, but - as foreseen - the 3rd room was not used because the children were too small to stay alone in a room. We were all very happy to be there and would equally happy to be back.
Kind regards, Dorrit Romanoff, Denmark, September, 2005

I would like to thank you for your assistance and the group enjoyed the golf courses particularly Bonalba,Mosa TrajectumÊand El Plantio which were excellant value I look forward to booking future golf with yourselves next year.

Montecastillo
Thought it might be helpful to give you some feedback on the hotel etc. First of all, we had a very nice holiday, the weather + golf was very nice. Car hire Ð Europa Rent a Car. Picked up car from airport and delivered it back Ð no problems. Directions to hotel on the voucher were not great, we went back again to the airport and asked. They give you a full tank and then tell you to return the car empty. This is a bit of a rip off as I bet most people return cars with some petrol still in (ours was half full). Hotel Ð First of all, the golf course was excellent Ð they did not ask for handicap certificates and there were plenty of beginners on the course which is well maintained. Staff very helpful, bags can be carried too and from the hotel via a buggy. We would recommend a buggy on the course (it still took us 4.1/2 hours) but some people did walk with a trolley. Long distances between holes and course quite hilly. The actual hotel Ð so-so. It is rated at 5-star Ð in practice the service and facilities are no more than 3-star. Only one place open during the day to get food and drink Ð at the golf centre. Snacks and a bar really. They ran out of bread on one occasion and chicken another time. In the evening there is a choice between a bar which serves snacks and the main restaurant. This offers a limited menu Ð good food though. A bit ÔFawlty TowersÕ like. ÊIn practice we did not eat here but went to a nearby village (5 mins by car Ð Meson La Cueva restaurant, just past the Jerez racing track. This place has a very large menu and is better value. The main issue here is that very little English is spoken (and why should it be) Ð apart from the hotel and golf reception areas. My O-level Spanish was dusted off and with lots of waving and pointing we were fine. This part of Spain is clearly not part of the tourist trail (yet). Hope this helps,

Mallorca Golf Holiday
Just a quick e-mail toÊtell you that we had a brilliant golf holiday. Everything ran like clockwork and I cannot praise you and your company enough for efficiency, politeness and spot on customer service. I have reccommended you to many of my friends and work colleages, and even a couple from The Netherlands whom we played golf with in Majorca.
Many thanks again. Alison Stringfellow, Lancashire, UK, September, 2005ÊÊÊÊ

Excellent holiday! Hotel no complaints whatsoever. Really good. Transfers no problem, drivers, very accommodating. Golf courses, what can you say? Superb, magnificent, with facilities to match. If you could help us with our golf then it would be unsurpassable. I fear our golf is past help though! Just for your info and don't take this as ANY form of criticism. Vilamoura Victoria had no buggies as it was preparing for the World Championship of Golf in November. As it was undulating, not at all hilly we 'cripples' got round. Only just but we made it. Also for those people who have an European Union disability parking permit or Doctor's letter confirming a walking disability Vale do Lobo will permit you to take your buggy on the fairway. Otherwise you must stick to the path, which sometimes negates the usefulness of a buggy. Our best trip yet and thanks very much for your help and patience with the booking.
Jon Davies, Essex, Uk, October, 2005

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time in portugal. Thankyou for you help in organising our golf. Palmares - Great course, but just too busy! We only just made it in after waiting at virtually every hole to tee off. Penina - Very good Morgado - Best Value, great course, lovely clubhouse (although it was suffering because of the drought in portugal at the time)- not too busy All in all, the standard of all the courses was excellent, with lovely facilities at each venue Thanks again I will be in touch again next year
Pete Jackson, Cheshire, UK, October, 2005

Quinta do Lago Golf Holiday
As usual everything went very well thanks to coursemaster Four courses were excellent. We played Quinta de lago (North) first this was a very good course unfortunately they had sanded greens but other than that good course, index 1 appears to be a relatively easy dog-leg until you reach a Lightning fast green. 7/10 One note:- they often start on 9th tee which is about 2km from 1st tee. Our second course was Quinta de lago (south) this was the best course we have played, excellent condition, some very good holes, and two or three fantastic holes.9/10. We then played Vale do lobo Ocean another great course greens, again there were very good hole and a good test of golf.8/10 Our final game was Vale do Lobo Royal this course is worth playing just for the 15th hole which is probably the most photographed golf hole in Europe, 8/10. Pinus Ria Hotel was also very nice it was small 67 rooms and well positioned for golf courses max 10mins from all four, staff were friendly and polite, rooms were very nice, clean and well maintained, we were on a bed and breakfast basis they were a number of very good restaurants in surrounding area, swimming pool was quite small and health suite was closed while we were there, overall 7/10. I hope this is of assistance and we are currently planning for next year.
Kind regards Pat Shannon, London, UK, September, 2005

Santana - Excellent course in very good condition, although expensive when compared to other courses in that area. Los Lagos (Mijas golf) - I played this course about 2 years ago and really enjoyed it, this year however I thought the condition of the course was very poor and there was no drinks trolley driving around the course offering water for sale, we weren't made aware of this before we set off. I hope this helps, looking forward to booking with you guys in the future.
Geoff Cowland, Essex, UK, August, 2005

Yes thank you, we enjoyed it immensely, especially the Victoria where we had the place to ourselves almost. Free driving range too. Pinhal was a little too busy - we were switched to the 10th hole to start and it took ages to queue for check-in. Good job we were early. Hopefully we will be in touch with you again next year - fingers crossed. Thank you for your enquiry.
Regards John Price, East Yorkshire, UK, October, 2005

Just a little note of thanks from me for theÊcompletely satisfactory way you made all my golfing venue arrangements recently. Nothing, but nothing, was wrong or improperly organised, and should i venture abroad again i shall not hesitate to have your company plan my stay.
Many thanks Geoff Pollard, Staffordshire, UK, September, 2005

We played on the following courses: Praia del Rey Very nice course. Some long walks between green and tee. Penha Longa Looked very nice if the fairways would have been green..... Because of a very dry winter and summer the fairways were totally gone Quinta Marinha too much noise of building houses, several times we had to cross a fairway to get to the next tee, not my kind of golf course When we leave for our next golf holiday you will hear from me again!
Kind regards, Marc van Woesik, Holland, September, 2005

Algarve golf holiday
I had an excellent golf holiday in Portgual. The [Vila Gale Nautico] hotel was great, the [David Leadbetter] golf school and coach very good, the golf courses were also very good.
Thank you Jeremy Peacocke, UK, August, 2005

Benamor,short course well kept but found it easy. Quinta de Ria,Really enjoyed this course,a bit wide open but will be better in a few years. Istantilla was so tight and difficult but seemed a lot more mature and was the best course out of the 3 we played,must admit the hol was very good and overall the courses was good.your bookings was spot on.
Regards David O'Brien, Sheffield, UK, September, 2005

We had a great time. The courses are superb and hopefully will be booking through you again next year. Thanks for a very efficient service.

Los Granados Apartments, Puerto de la Duquesa
They were very happy with the holiday. The accommodation was very good. They landed up with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 4 balconies - how many balconies does man and boy need!! From what I can gather the town was nice with a 10 minute walk to the bars and restaurants. More ex pats and Londoners that Spaniards but plenty choice of places to eat. Generally, there was a lot of building work going on all down the coast, but they weren't affected in the apartments with noise or dust. On the car front, they had a bit of a wait for the car at the hire desk as would be expected, but the car was fine and took all the bags and clubs. Having just the 3 games of golf pre arranged was probably enough and they enjoyed all 3 courses. Neil forgot to take the camera with him, but his friend took a few shots of the apartments and he is going to pass on the disk so that we can copy the photos - whatever happened to good old 35mm? As soon as I get the disk, I'll e-mail through the shots of the apartment for your reference. Overall they were very pleased with the accommodation, car and golf and are already discussing the next golf trip. Thanks for organizing this for them at what was really very short notice. It all worked out very well.
Best regards Carole (for Neil Lovie), UK, October, 2005

Golf in Costa del Sol
The golf holiday was excellent and everything went according to plan ! My comments on the courses are as follows :
La Canada - Course is in good condition, quite undulating, is quite busy and has a lot of play therefore the fairways and greens not in as good a condition as some we played. Greens however are very fast. My only real memory of this course was that all the holes seem to be the same, there was little variety. The Green fees were good value though.
Alcaidesa - This course is fantastic ! With brilliant scenery overlooking Gibraltar, the fairways and greens are immaculate and when we played it felt like we were the only people on the course. The course plays very long with many par 4's in excess of 420m it is well spaced out from hole to hole. The wind is a major factor and some of the holes into the wind are extremely tough. Even tough we hadn't asked for it we got buggy's for free! Definitely a course I would play again.
Estepona - Very friendly club, again buggies included in the price which I didn't expect. Very nice course fairways and greens well maintained. Was quite busy with a lot of people on the course so can be a little slow to get round. Some tricky holes and some easy ones to keep all skill levels interested, some excellent elevated tee holes on 5 and 10, a couple of long par 5's and a devilish long par 3 on 14. Again a course I would return to.
Los Flamingos - The highlight of the week ! 5 star hotel with a 5 star course. The fairways were like greens and the greens like carpet. The course was not busy and played fantastic. It was difficult but fair with a nice mixture of different types of holes and challenges, water appears often, especially on the 10th where it is a feature off the tee and at the green ! A lovely course, a bit expensive to play but worth it. The clubhouse facilities were excellent although as you would expect the prices were high compared to the others we played. Would come back again.
Atalaya - We played the new course which was OK. It was very tricky, the fairways are tight and the greens very small, fast and undulating. This is a course for the more experienced low to mid handicapper, we had a couple of guys playing off 24 and they really struggled. The course is very hilly and looks like it has been shoe-horned behind the old course (which is members only) and the mountains. Not one I would return to. Thanks again for your help, I will be coming back to you for next years trip !
Keith Dyer, East Sussex, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Back from holiday today -everything went perfectly. No problems at all. The golf [Torrequebrada] although not great was good enough to win the money! Many thanks again for all your help.
Pat Shields, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Car Hire Auto Jardin (Faro Airport) - The care hire counters are immediately outside the main arrivals terminal at Faro airport & are well signposted. The staff were very friendly & knowledgeable, & all spoke excellent English. What was most pleasing however was that unlike many other operators I have travelled with, there were no hidden costs or charges when picking up our cars (Which were new & well valeted) Driving in Portugal, is very easy with the roads well signposted & in the main relatively quiet once out of the cities.
Accommodation - Quinta Da Beloura, Sintra The accommodation was by consensus 1st rate value for money. We stopped in the clubhouse, which I believe has about a dozen or so rooms, all of which were spacious & included a kitchenette. The rooms also included TV's & remote controlled Air Conditioning. The clubhouse, restaurant, bar & rooms were all spotlessly clean & well maintained. - Clearly, the Clubhouse is not a hotel: the restaurant & bar both closing very early at about (9pm) but this never caused a problem as the staff were always willing to accommodate us in what ever way they could. In addition the location of the accommodation was such that it was a very short journey to many local bars & restaurants in Sintra, Estoril & Lisbon itself. - The most impressive thing about this resort was the friendly & knowledgeable staff. Most especially the staff in the Golf Reception who made every effort to ensure that we had the tee times we wanted, gave us some great advice about local courses & made the holiday very special indeed. - The only criticism I would have about this resort was the lack of a Swimming Pool, although I believe there are plans to extend the resort in the very near future.
Golf The golf in Portugal in quite rightly world renowned, although having never played there before I was sceptical about the quality of some of the lesser known courses!!! However my experiences of the courses we played is nothing but positive with all of the clubs, friendly & very well maintained. (Greens & Fairways - comparing very favourably with my own club (Forest of Arden))
Quinta Da Beloura - A good course for the Mid-High handicapper with villa/tree lined fairways - excellent value for money & a good every day course.
Troia - 1hour south of Lisbon on a Peninsula of land which is reached by ferry. An excellent Links style course which is intersected with sand dunes & has no bunkers because most of the rough is indeed sand!!! Good value for the Mid handicapper - well worth a visit.
Aroriera 1 & 2 - 30mins from Sintra. Large 36hole resort offering two similar tree & water lined courses (Often described as the 'Wentworth' of Portugal) for the Low to Mid handicapper. Given the quality of the courses/fairways/greens & clubhouse these courses represents truly excellent value for money in comparison to the more well known premium courses in the area.
Belas - 30mins from Sintra. Large residential resort with integral Golf course open to the public. Excellent if very hilly course (a buggy is a must on this course) for all handicaps.
Course Master I found Coursemaster purely by accident online, but I'm glad I did!!! My parties trip (8 members) was very much a last minute affair & as our excursion coincided with the European Championships in Lisbon we had struggled greatly to find suitable/affordable accommodation until we contacted Coursemaster (Ron Mckail). However, very quickly after contacting Ron our accommodation, car hire & tee times were arranged for us & the whole process was faultless & very easy because of Coursemasters & especially Ron Mckails' efforts. I would thoroughly recommend Coursemaster to any of my fellow golfers & will definitely be using them again the next time my party plans an excursion.
Mark Rose, Birmingham, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Well the lads are back from there trip andÊI think they are still on cloud nine. Almost everything went perfect. The golf courses [Vilamoura Old, Vilasol Vilamoura Millennium] were beyondÊtheir expectations and the staff there could not be nicer. They all said that they were all treated with great repect and were made feel very welcome. Unfortunetly the standard of some of the golf played was not great but that is outside anyones help. The villa [Casa do Vale, Vilamoura Villas] was very nice expect that some of the playersÊare quiet tall and the beds had foot plates at the end. Again outside of your control. The poolÊand condition of the villa were excellent (some of the guys even managed to learn to swim which knowing them would make quiet a spectacle). The van was a definite hit with the lads as they believed that it saved a lot of money on taxis. To sum up they have asked me to let you know that hopefully by christmas we shall be booking another trip with you. Thanks again.

Golf Holiday to Costa Blanca
Yes very enjoyable . La sella were very accommodating. Oliva Nova not so. They did not tell us when we teed off that the pro shop shuts at 8:30 and tried to hurry us off the course on the 16th tee even though we had only being playing 3 hrs 45 mins. Not impressive when there was still 2 hours of daylight and we were not told that in advance. I wont be hurrying back to them.
Nigel Cragg, Surrey, UK, June 2005

Costa del Sol Courses in Fantastic Condition
All four courses [La Cala, Torrequebrada, Santa Maria, Marbella] were in absolutely fantastic condition, the weather was great & we were treated wonderfully by everyone we encountered - the trip was a big success & I look forward to next year's arrangements! A big thanks once again for your help
Jonathan Powell, UK, June 2005

Golf in Cyprus
The golf holiday was very good thanks. We enjoyed playing all three courses. We were made welcome at all the courses and dealt with efficiently. Secret Valley and Tsada were very enjoyable all though Tsada was a little too punishing as a lot of the rough was sandy stone and it was very difficult to keep the ball on the fairways due to the run off. Aphrodite Hills was a different class absolutely superb. First class course and set up, wow. We enjoyed this course the most. When I return to Cyprus in the future it will be to play this course. Thanks for your help with the booking and I look forward tousing your services again in the future.

Christine Burtscheidt, Germany, June 2005

Mallorca Courses in Good Condition
Everything went according to plan during the holiday. Despite the hot conditions the courses were in very good condition and staff were very helpful, I would play them all again if I returned to Majorca. Bendinat Golf Club and Santa Ponsa were especially nice, very scenic but Poniente was average, and we couldn’t find the first tee, despite the signs. Prior to the holiday I was pleased with the way your company handled the finance and with the communication throughout the process and I would most certainly use your company again. Thank you.

Thanks for your email - sorry it has taken a little while to get back to you. The lads really enjoyed their break - everything went very smooth and with no problems at all. They got the time wrong at one golf course (cant read - too much beer the night before I bet!!) but the pro was brilliant and manged to still slot them in. Thanks for all your help - will definately book with you next year if they go again.

Golf Holiday to the Vilamoura
I had been meaning to drop you a line before now. The holiday was fantastic. An excellent resort (Vilamoura). In terms of the golf, I couldn't fault it. The vouchers etc were received on time, & all very informative, providing everything required for the day. Tee-off was even on time! The course itself (Pinhal) was excellent, if a bit challenging at times!! It was in very good condition, as was the clubhouse etc as well as all other facilities. The staff were friendly, although the transport back to the hotel was delayed by an hour. I will happily recommend your services. If you have a mailing list, please can you add my details?

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Holiday fantastic as usual, courses [Vilamoura Old, Vilamoura Millennium, Vilamoura Victoria] were in better nick than when we went in Feb. Hotel [Vila Gale Ampalius] was its normal friendly state different room this time with balcony overlooking the marina spent a few hours there each day with a bottle of vino So we go back there in June. I think you can take it from me if anything was bad about the place i woudn't go again & again.

Golf Holiday to the Vale do Lobo, Algarve
Great Time, Great Weather. Dona Filipa Excellent, San Lorenzo, Good Golf course Vale de Lobo Ocean Course was just ok. would hurry back to it. The hotel [Dona Filipa] was much the same as the penina, but much better located. Car Hire ok. Be in touch again soon.

Golf in Cyprus
Aphrodite Hills Golf Course was one of the best we have played, the course was in superb condition, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent, all in all our day was a complete success and we look forward to playing there again.
Michael Cocker, Manchestor, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Almeria
Valle Del Este and Desert Springs were top class, the course at Roquetas [Playa Serena] was good, but unfortunately we could only do the front 9 twice due to a water leak. The course at Mojacar [Marina Golf] is undergoing major work, so from about hole 4-12 the ground is very rough. The course itself is nice, but until the work is completed it is a bit like a building site !!
Rich Hunter, Nottingham, UK, June 2005

Great Week in Costa del Sol
Had A great week, all the courses [La Cala, Flamingos, Santa Maria, Marbella, Atalaya] were in great condition, there was a hour delay at La Cala due to a shortage of buggies but it did not spoil the day.
Irving Nattrass, Tyne & Wear, UK, June 2005

Good time in Costa del Sol
The golf organisation was great everything worked really well and we had a good time.
Estepona Golf course was very nice quite challenging in parts but not too hard with good changing rooms and lockers
Duquesa however was horrific the front nine was designed by a mountain goat with very narrow fairways clinging to the side of the hill and the fairways sloping excessively down hill away from the buggy paths. The Back nine was much more sensible and whilst everything was okay we wouldn't go back there again. Too many lost balls The changing rooms were okay but they had no lockers The directions to find them were very good and no doubt we will use your facilities again.
David Court, Oxon, UK, June 2005

Golf in Cyprus
Thank you for your email, we had a fab holiday. The courses were really good and especially Aphrodite Hills, extremely professional and excellent services. One of the best courses we've played. The service you provided was also extremely professional and the vouchers enabled us to just pitch up on the course and play with no hassle what’s so ever. Thank you for all your help.
Lisa Mander, East Sussex, June 2005

Superb Golf at La Cala
Both courses [La Cala North and South] were superb, thank you very much indeed. We enjoyed the holiday very much.
Stephen Watson, Bristol, UK, June 2005

Golf at Miraflores
We booked just one round at Miraflores. The course was in nice condition and was quite short but perfect for our requirements as we had a few higher handicappers in our party. Also, it was still a challenging course for the lower handicapper. The staff were very helpful and was a nice relaxed atmosphere in the clubhouse. Can I also thank Santiago for his very prompt service in booking the tee-times for me. It was excellent service and everything went very smoothly.
Oliver Horn, UK, June 2005

Santana Well Presented
Thank you for booking our golf at Santana Golf on 27 June 2005. We found the course to be exceptionally well presented and although it has only been open for 18 months it appeared quite mature, not too difficult and very good for holiday golf. The Club House staff were very pleasant and the snacks good value. All in all I would highly recommend this course for golfers of all standards.
Colin Spink, Yorks, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Cascais
Everything was lovely [at Quinta da Marinha Golf Resort]; except for my score. Thank you for your arrangement again.
Kei Inaba, Oxon, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
We had a fantastic time in Spain, thanks very much, Jim was very helpful setting it up for us. The golf was very good:
El paraiso was a little disappointing; it wasn't in the best condition, apart from the greens which were good.
Monte Mayor was fantastic - all in all the best course we've played, the staff there were extremely friendly and helpful too.
Los Arqueros - very nice course, could have been a bit more welcoming at the golf reception but the starter was very friendly (no course planner was a bit of a grumble tho')
Santa Maria - was very nice as well, lovely condition with some great holes (again they had no course planners - I found a lake which I didn't know was there!!!) As I said we had a great time and will definitely be going back next year - I'm sure we'll be using your services then.
Justin Pearce, Essex, UK, June 2005

Golf in Costa del Sol
Overall everything was fine. El Paraiso was in very poor condition, other 2 [Los Naranjos, Flamingos] were excellent.
Tony Croxford, Merseyside, UK, June 2005

Great Golf in Marbella/Mijas
Just a note to say all courses [Santa Maria, La Cala, Mijas] were great and will be using yourselves again next year.
Wayne Bentley, East Yorkshire, UK, June 2005

Golf in Costa del Sol
The holiday was great. Jim from your San Pedro office was very helpful and I'll be calling him again on or prior to my next visit. La Cala new Europa course was very challenging, but quite excellent. Flamingos was great, but rather expensive. Santana was also good condition and and rather more comfortable for mid to high handicappers. (Also rather more expensive than it should be for this time of year.)
Stephen Langham, Essex, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Quinta do Lago
Got back yesterday from a really nice break in Portugal, playing on some great courses [Pinheiros Altos, Pinhal, Quinta do Lago South]. All went very well, apart from a delay at the beginning due to problems with the plane leaving Gatwick - thank you for your message re the car hire by the way, which was reassuring. Everything else went like clockwork, thanks to your hard work in making the arrangements. Will be in touch if we decide to do a repeat trip next year.
Simon Hoare, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to San Roque
Thanks for your note, and your for your great help on our trip! We had a fantastic time - beautiful place, great golf courses - a wonderful holiday! We'll be sure to recommend it to others and pass on your name. Thanks again for all your help PS For comments on the [SanRoque Suites] hotel - overall it was great although I woiuld suggest that the rooms are getting a little "tired". Staff and service were very good. Don't know if you know but they identify which rooms the players from the Ryder Cup in '97 stayed in - so I guess you could ask for a specific room (ie. The room that Tiger stayed in) if that's of interest to anyone. I think the European player rooms were better located than the American rooms. As for the golf courses - Valderrama - great, San Roque Old - very good, San Roque New - not as good (but OK - aside from the first couple of holes, it was fairly plain), Alcaidesa - in betweeen San Roque Old and New but spectacular views of the the Med Sea and Gibraltar - surprisingly it has a very low slope rating that didn't seem to go with the course. Hope this helps. Restaurant recommendations - informal outside - Ke at Puerto Sotogrande, great (perhaps more formal dinner) - Restaurante Barbesula
Steve Martin, Ontario, Canada, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Just a short note to you about the trip you put together for our group of 12 people. Well it took a lot of planning on your part for the golf courses, accomodations and car rentals, all went perfect. The weather was 85 and sunny every day. The golf courses [Vilamoura Old, Vale do Lobo Royal, Quinta do Lago North and South] that you said to play were all five star. The villas [Vilamoura Villas] with pool worked out real well for our group. There is nothing else to say except it was great. I take 12 guys away every year or 2 and this topped all the others. We have been to Iceland, Finland, Scotland, and 2 years ago we were in Western Canada, Whistler and Vancouver. We will use you again on our next trip. Feel free to give out my name to anyone for a reference. Thanks Again.
Kenny Moskowitz, New York, USA, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve and Costa del Sol
As for me everything from you worked perfectly! The bookings were fine the hotel Algarve is a very nice hotel, but is a little old in the rooms, but very clean and the pool and beaches are great. The golf courses are a little hard to find even with your instructions, all the courses were fine except the Gramachio course because of a pending LPGA event, the Flamingo was the best of the courses that we played, but I would recommend that a power cart be part of the deal as all the courses are very hilly. As for Puerto Banus it was very nice the room was very nice, the only thing was to know how to work the washer/dryer combo. Both places are very good for English, but both places do not give the spanish/portugal feel to it, but we understood that coming in to this trip. I would highly recommend your company to other people and I all ready have sent your web site address to a few friends of mine. In terms of a car, I have found a company call Argus Rental Car based in Ireland they saved me over $500-750 dollars CAD on a automatic rental car. When we travel again for a golfing holiday again we will make sure to look you folks up.
Floyd Yamamoto, British Columbia, Canada, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Thanks for all your help. The arrangements, details etc were first class and we will certainly be in touch for future trips. Re courses, the Mijas courses were great (we had played Los Olivos before but not Los Lagos). Alhaurin was scenically beautiful, the facilities were excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly. Although the designer is said to be Sevvy, however, I think it was a combination of Walt Disney and Macchiavelli! I did not play badly, struck the ball and putted well but managed to lose 9 balls! - and I still managed 22 stableford points. I am glad we went there but it was a one off visit. Many thanks once again.
Fred Dalgarno, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa Blanca
The course at Montenmedio was fantastic (immaculate greens and fairways - the bunkers were their usual 'orrible selves, we became well acquainted!)ÊAND we virtually had the course to ourselves. VeryÊgrand looking venue but staff were down to earth and helpful. We did have one minor hiccough when the caddy master was at lunch and an inexperienced young lady managed to organise some hire clubs for us - I got men's clubs and Steve got left handed clubs ...... andÊaren't we the sad onesÊbecause we didn't even notice until we were about to tee off! Just a shame our golf standards didn't match the course!!!Thanks for organising.
Adrienne Shaw, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Many thanks for your e-mail. As you know, you booked me on 2 courses - Los Naranjos and Marbella Club, both of which I have played a number of times previously. Both courses were in good order and I also appreciated the quality of service from your company.
Jonathan Scott Warren, Jersey, June 2005

Santana in excellent condition
All [Mijas, La Cala, La Quinta and Santana] went very smoothly with no problems. I would recommend Santana in particular, nice course, excellent condition, no construction activity.
Mike Bagshaw, Herts, UK, June 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Thanks for the e-mail. We all had a great time, the golf [Quinta do Lago, Vilasol, Palmares, Penina Championship] was excellent, especially Quinta do Lago North. The only downside, if I can call it that was that there was very little sand in the bunkers, which made it a bit of a lottery with the escape shot. For a good golfer, it was a bit on the embarrassing side. Overall though, it was great, and we will be using your services again in the near future, probably at Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago when the South course reopens. Once againÊTHANKS.
Denville Taylor, London, UK, June 2005

La Finca excellent
Thanks for everything. La Finca is an excellent course. The condition of the course at the time of playing was immaculate. The facilities were also good.
Cormac O'Donovan, Co Kildare, Ireland, May 2005

Golf in Costa Blanca
We did indeed enjoy our golfing holiday in Spain, although the weather was bit warmer than we anticipated - 34 deg.C by 10.00am. The tee times arranged through you worked very well with no problems at any of the courses [Villamartin, Las Ramblas, Mosa Trajectum]. I have 2 properties in Pinar de Campoverde which is ideally located for a great number of the courses in the area. I keep the properties for my own use and family and friends many of whom are golfers. I will be recommending your company to my golfing friends for future bookings and no doubt you will be hearing from me in not too distance future. Once again thank you for the excellent service you have provided.
John Male, Hants, UK, May 2005

Lauro Golf Course superb
We had a terrific time at Lauro,the course was superb as was the weather .This was our second year golfing in the region and definitely not our last ,we intend to be back next year at the same time.So it is very likely that i will be calling yourself or Jim to book our golf .Mean time i will be recommending course master to any one i hear going golfing in Spain.
Gordon Gilchrist, UK, May 2005

Golf in Costa Brava
Thanks again for your help - we hope to be returning again next year (if our good wives allow us ) ! Thanks again. I had no issues with the Voucher for Mas Nou D'Aro which was great. The course itself was also great and I would definitely recommend it, albeit we played it on the 4th day after 3 days of 36 holes and 3 nights of enjoying ourselves until 4 or 5 in the morning so the hills were a little tough !! The other major problem was that it took 6 hours (we had been on the course 4 hours 10 minutes standing on the 14th tee) which is really unacceptable - the fact that there was no course ranger attempting to speed things up certainly didn't help. Out of the 4 courses we played I would rank them as follows:
1. Emporda (actually played both Forest and Links and would recommend others to play both as opposed to sticking to one) ... 5 hour 15 minutes rounds were again at least an hour more than they should be !
2. PGA Cataluyna - again the only real issue here was the fact that both rounds took almost 5 and a half hours each ... the fact that the ranger actually facilitated another 4-Ball on the 10th and let them play out of turn ahead of us, holding us up for an additional 15 minutes, again didn't help.
3. Mas Nou D'Aro
4. Girona (no hold ups and 4 hour 15 minute rounds !) Overall though it was very enjoyable and although we came home quite a few golf balls lighter than going offer we had a great time and have been recommending the experience to anyone foolish enough to ask us about it !! Regards and Thanks again.
John Costello, Co Galway, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Just a short note to say thank you again for your help with arranging golf tee-times for my group the week before last. All three courses were excellent and everyone in the party thoroughly enjoyed playing them. When it comes to organising our next trip, I will certainly contact you, as the service we have had from you has been first class.
Simon Marshall, London, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
We had a wonderful holiday thankyou. It was primarily a family holiday but my husband enjoyed the golf and was very impressed with the [Penina] championship course. The hotel [Le Meridien Penina] was great and the staff extremely helpful. We were also very pleased with the car company that you arranged for us -- there was no waiting at the airport which is a real bonus when you are travelling with small children. We would have no hesitation in booking future holidays or recommending your company to other people. Many thanks for your professionalism.
Phil Valentine, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
A good holiday . Both courses [Montecastillo, Montenmedio] excellant and not busy. we ended up with the smaller ford focus car but just managed to squeeze everything in. Hotel [Montecastillo] had excellant staff and a good restaurant but was virtually empty for alot of the time. Not a top quality hotel but you didnt charge top prices! Ready for a bit of refurbishment.
David Nickerson, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Overall a very good holiday ( I have given your details to a couple of other people who will want to organise golf holidays next year) The hotel, El Cortijo Blanco, was good quality three star, but excellent for what we wanted. The courses [Santa Maria, La Duquesa, Los Arqueros, Rio Real, El Paraiso, Alcaidesa] generally were good, although we were not impressed with Los Arqueros and probably will not go there again The car, and pick up/drop off arrangements, all very satisfactory.
Gordon Watt, Wilts, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
The hotel [Vila Gale Marina], golf courses [Vilasol, Millennium, Pinhal, Vilamoura Old] and overall holiday experience was fantastic - the entire group have expressed this opinion too! So much so, that we are looking for a similar trip for next year.
Russell Watmore, Tyne & Wear, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Just writing to let you know we had an absolutely fabulous time golfing in Spain recently! :o) The Alhaurin hotel was wonderful and the three courses [La Cala North, Alhaurin, Santana] we played were terrific. Absolutely everything went without a hitch, the flights, the car-hire, the hotel [Alhaurin Hotel] and the golf. Many thanks for all your effort, which allowed us to enjoy the break without a worry. I've given your company name to everyone I know who golfs! I will be booking another break with you later in the year. Many thanks once again.
Matthew Taylor, Great Britain, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Just to let you know everything with the holiday went like clockwork, the accommodation [Pyr Fuengirola] was ideally situated in the centre of town and all the courses [Mijas, Santa Maria, Torrequebrada] were expecting us and in excellent condition. So a big thank you from all of the guys on what turned out to be an enjoyable experience for all! The only point I am slightly concerned about was the car hire. When we picked up the cars we were charged for a full tank of petrol for all of the cars (..as per the information given to us), I was then told that if we returned all the cars with a full tank of petrol, my credit card would be refunded with the full amount. All the cars were returned full and I am just waiting confirmation to see if my credit card has been refunded! I will keep you informed! Many thanks yet again, and if you need anybody to recommend your company for a golfing trip in the future, please let me know as we will certainly be using you again!
Derek Ratcliffe, Fife, Scotland, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Once again you and course master came up with the goods, everything went without a hitch, so big thanks to you all. The golf courses [Cabopino, Rio Real, Santana, Monte Mayor, Marbella] were in good condition, however Santana had half the greens hollow tined and although we got free buggys, it did dampen our enthusiasm for the course, most of the group thought it was the least popular during the week, partly due to its shortness in length so maybe worth noting, guess its better for higher handicap players, although they are friendly people. Benabola was fine, we all enjoyed the apartments, clean and with good maid service, even better no charge for parking underneath, a real bonus is being so close to the port itself and a smashing beach, not much noise to disturb anyone through the nights as well. Travelling via Gibralter is a good move, much quieter, one or two points had we known would have made life easier but will for sure go through Gib again. Thanks again, all the best, next one October, yippee !!
Robert Head, Lancs, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa del Sol
Thanks for the email and I should have emailed you earlier. The weather was not the best for the first couple of days! Snow on the hill ( or are they mountains!) behind Fuengirola - I have never seen that before in March. Unfortunately, due to the weather, Mijas was closed on the Wednesday we arrived and thanks to Mijas Golf course for rearranging the extra golf that was suppose to be played on that day, by 4 people, to the following Saturday. I must say Torrequebrada was not so nice! It rained all Thursday night (3rd March) and the Friday, Friday being the day we played. 12 intrepid golfers decided that they would give it a go (as the course was not closed - quite frankly it should have been - all the others were), 8 of which gave up after 11 holes. The course was unplayable with water running down fairways - ankle deep! It wasn't nice and there were only about, at max, 20 people on the course - Us being 12 of them - talk about mad Englishmen! The only thing that annoyed me was people being offered the course at 45 Euro's because of the weather - we had to pay you the price when we booked. Not your fault, but if there is anyway you could get a refund, in part would help, it would be much appreciated. I'll understand if you can't but they told us on the day when we phoned the golf course was closed but being inspected (time 8.30am). They also told us our tee time was 8.48am which according to our confirmation was not the case( I haven't got it to hand but I think it was around 12). I'll leave you to sort that out! Apart from that, everything went well and I am very grateful for all you did. Nobody can predict the weather. By the way, we will be off to Vilamoura, Portugal next year in April 2006. So if you have any offers going let me know. One thing for sure we will book the golf through you. Once again thanks for what you have done for us and I look forward to using your company in the future, even though Torrequebrade let the side down!
Richard Williams, Somerset, UK, March 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
We had an excellent holiday. Everything went according to the agenda you produced for my group. The car was right at the airport waiting for us, with no hidden costs etc. The villa [Vilamoura Villas] was especially good with a very high level of accomadation and great swimming pool, also ideally located to shops and bars, not to mention the golf courses. The courses [Pinhal, Millennium, Old] were also what we expected with all our tee times being met, and again no hidden costs. Overall a great experience and we can't wait to book you again next year. Please don't hesitate to use my name as a recomendation for your company. I am already telling all my friends and colleagues about you.
Ian Colton, Swindon, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Cyprus
Thank you to Course Master Golf for arranging what turned out to be an excellant golfing experience on Tsada & Secret Valley. We had no problems with our tee off times, infact the golf clubs were expecting us. Both courses were challenging, of the highest standard ( especially Tsada ) & very enjoyable. I appreciate the good work that Course Master Golf did on my behalf ( competitive pricing per round, 3 rounds in a split week ) I will have no hesitation calling on your services again ( which i hope will be soon ) I will certainly recommend Course Master Golf to my friends and family.
Derek Evans, Glasgow, UK, May 2005

Golf Holiday to the Algarve
Many thanks for your kind message and yes we did enjoy our holiday in Alvor - we had 7 days of glorious sunshine and every thing was perfect - we thoroughly enjoyed our golf and as usual the Gramacho and Pinta course were in perfect condition. I lookforward to going again and hope fully will be seeking a good rate for this coming October!!! Please convey my thanks and best wishes to Ron McKail and thankyou all for making a realy good happy holiday
Neisha Beasley, Hants, UK, May 2005

Costa del Sol Courses in Excellent Condition
The 5 golf courses [La Reserva Sotogrande, Almenara, Valderrama] we played were in excellent condition and the service at each one was first class, only problem is we were not informed before hand that Almenara’s club house was closed foe renovations. Another point was you quoted the price for La Reserva to include lunch but that wasn't the case. Never mind we had a great time and will be back in May 2006. Will contact you when we are firm on the dates.
Paul Thornberry, May 2005

Golf Holiday to Costa Blanca
Thanks the hotel [La Zenia] was superb and the 3 golf courses [Villamartin, Las Ramblas, La Finca] were top class hopefully be getting in touch early next year to book again.
