A Short History

The history of the United States is intertwined with the evolution of golf, a sport that has grown to become a significant part of American culture. Golf in America dates back to the 18th century, with evidence suggesting its presence as early as 1739 when a shipment of golf equipment arrived in Charleston, South Carolina. This shipment supported the establishment of the South Carolina Golf Club in 1787, marking one of the earliest documented instances of organized golf in the country.

Despite these early beginnings, golf did not gain substantial traction in America until the early 19th century. In 1894, the United States Golf Association (USGA) was founded, becoming the representative body for golf in the U.S. By 1910, America was home to 267 golf associations, highlighting the rapid growth and popularity of the sport across the nation. The administrative landscape of golf further developed with the establishment of the Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) in 1916, which remains the governing body for professional golf in the United States. Over time, the PGA Tour emerged as a premier platform for professional golfers to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level.

Today, golf stands as a cherished pastime in America, offering players of all levels an opportunity to enjoy its challenges and rewards. The sport’s enduring appeal is evident in its rich history, from humble beginnings on pastures to iconic tournaments like The Masters that captivate audiences worldwide. The fusion of golf with American culture reflects a shared passion for excellence, tradition, and camaraderie that continues to shape both the sport and the nation itself.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrivals - Wed 02 April

Arrive into Jacksonville Airport and transfer as a group to the 4-star Marriott TPC Sawgrass, which is aptly named due to its close proximity to the home of The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. If you arrive independently or early, extra transfer fees may be incurred. (Group airport transfer at 15.00).

This evening, enjoy a welcome drink with the tour hosts and meet your fellow golfers. You’ll be given your Premium Travel Kit, and enjoy a drink on us to usher in this exclusive golfing pilgrimage.

Day 2: Golf (B, D) - Thu 03 April

We launch right into it today with a round of golf at the TPC Dye’s Valley Golf Course. Range balls are included so enjoy a warm up at the best facility in the region. Designed by the legendary, late Pete Dye, along with his friend Jack Nicklaus, this golf course has been structured so that the challenge is not in the distance, but the risk you take and rewards you gain (or lose). Bearing the name TPC provides a certainty that the golf course is maintained to championship quality, year-round. As the Players Championship is held here just a month prior, expect nothing less than the best from this fantastic track.

This evening, we officially invite you to join your tour hosts for dinner at The Hotel as we stage our Welcome Dinner with drinks included. We don’t host welcome dinners on the first night because some may arrive late or have a delayed flight so we prefer everyone to be present for our first official meal together.

Day 3: Golf (B) - Fri 04 April

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. After breakfast at your leisure, we head to the famed TPC Sawgrass Golf Course, also designed by Pete Dye. A round of golf on this fabled golf course is akin to a pilgrimage for the avid golfer. Home to the Players Championship (almost considered a Major), TPC Sawgrass and its famous 17th hole is a do-or-dye moment. How will you fare on the 17th? Range balls are included so you can warm up to your hearts’ content.

After golf, the rest of our day is free to spend at your leisure.

Day 7: Golf (B) - Tue 08 April

Today we play one of the best golf courses in Georgia: Heron Point, designed by the legend Pete Dye. It cannot be understated the impact Pete had on golf course architecture in the United States. This golf course challenges golfers with risk-reward long and short holes. The fairways move toward and away from hazards and Dye’s ubiquitous mounding and swales framing target areas make this a must-play course. After golf, the afternoon and evening are free to spend at your leisure.

Day 8: Sightseeing & Travel (B) - Wed 09 April

It’s Masters time! After breakfast at your leisure, we’ll pack up and head to the famous Georgian town of Augusta, home to Augusta National Golf Club. We’re staying in the heart of the action at the Quality Inn & Suites. Although nothing much happens in Augusta for 51 weeks of the year, this hotel and most hotels in town are more about location and getting a room during Masters week so don’t hold your hopes for 5-star luxury. Most of our days will be playing golf or watching The Tournament. The Quality Inn & Suites are a 3-start hotel but the rooms are large and very clean, and the hotel is on Washington Road which is walkable from the Masters.

On arrival, there’s an open invitation to join your tour hosts for dinner at Carrabba’s Italian Grill on Washington Road. This town transforms during Masters week & we can’t wait to show you the action.

Day 9: Golf (B, L) - Thu 10 April

Today we head to one of the oldest golf clubs in the U.S: Palmetto. The greens are as fast as Augusta and this golf course represents the best in the South. Designed by Thomas Hitchcock in 1892, you’ll soon discover why this Palmetto Golf Club is a must-play course. After, we’ll watch the opening round on TV at the Clubhouse before returning for an evening at your leisure.

Day 10: Sightseeing & Travel (B) - Fri 11 April

Today you have the option of two very tempting choices:

1. Attend The Masters. This is your chance to watch your favourite golfer before the weekend cut at The Masters. We have Sunday tickets included in the price but if you’d like to attend two days, this is your chance to go (extra fee to attend this day).

2. For those who are happy just to be there and soak up the atmoshpere, we’ll head to Forest Hills Golf Club near Augusta for a round on the pine-lined fairways. This course was designed by Donald Ross and opened for play in 1926; it is one of the best courses in the South in our opinion. You’ll get the Masters atmosphere by playing here (included in tour cost).

Day 11: Golf (B,D) - Sat 12 April

For our final round of golf, we head to The Reserve Club for a round of golf on the Zoeller Course. This course was designed by Fuzzy Zoeller and is a private club most of the year. During Masters Week, they open up and you get to experience one of the finest institutions in the Carolina Foothills.

We’ll watch the action at The Masters in the old-world clubhouse after our round, before heading back to Augusta for an evening at your leisure. This evening, we’ll have our official Farewell dinner at a local Restaurant because it will be too busy tomorrow. This is our final group dinner and get-together so enjoy a wonderful night.

Day 12: Golf (B) - Sun 13 April

Well, the day has finally come. The final day of The Masters and for some of us, the first time. The Masters is 89 years old this year, and we think you’ll have a ball. As we enter The Tournament, leave your phone and personal effects outside. Enjoy the atmosphere and soak up one of the most revered sporting events in history.

Afterward, the evening is free to spend at your leisure. Perhaps join us for a drink to discuss the day?

Pebble Beach Golf Links

The Golf

TPC Sawgrass

The TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course was built by Pete Dye, the American Architect with strong resonance on this tour. In the 1970s, PGA Tour commissioner Dean Beman wanted a permanent destination for the Players Championship, which was the only event owned by the Players on the PGA Tour. The Course opened in 1980, and is known as the first true stadium course. This is a Top-100 World-Ranked Course and is full of challenging holes. The most famous of which is the par-3 17th with its island green. The bunkering on this golf course presents some of the most challenging layouts on the PGA Tour. Getting a tee-time on this course is difficult, so enjoy the experience and take your camera!

TPC’s Dye Valley

This par-72 parkland golf course was designed by the late Pete Dye, along with Bobby Weed and Jerry Pate (1982 Players Champion). Opened in 1987, the course has played host to several professional Korn Ferry Tour events and is consistently ranked as one of the top courses in Florida. The golf course features large greens and an abundance of water that sprawls across rolling hills and valleys. You’ll find plenty of water hazards, tight corners and risk-reward opportunities on this course. Like most famous courses, the conditioning and maintenance year-round produces one of the finest-looking tracks in the United States, and you’ll be hard-put to find a blade of grass out of place.

Heron Point

Also designed by the late, legendary course architect Pete Dye, this golf course challenges golfers with risk-reward long and short holes. The fairways move toward and away from hazards and Dye’s ubiquitous mounding and swales framing target areas make this a must-play course. This is a very fun golf course with wider fairways than its sibling course at Harbour Town. It’s a friendlier version than Harbour Town but still provides ample challenges. The construction of this new course was rebuilt off the back of an existing track in 2007, with a multi-million dollar upgrade that reshaped marshland into this world-class resort course.

25

The Golf

The Reserve Club

Designed by famed architect Clyde Johnston and consulted by Masters champion, Fuzzy Zoeller, the Hollow Creek Course is enjoyable and player friendly. Each hole masterfully carved from the beautiful landscape, golfers are given pristine playing conditions and three best finishing holes in our area. This golf course is bold and beautiful, and represents what it’s like playing at a private member’s community in upper-class America. Expect water hazards, doglegs, large greens and plenty of tree-lined fairways at this golf course. There are also massive mansions lining the course which provide an insight into the private club community at Woodside.

Harbour Town Golf Links

One of the most celebrated courses on the PGA Tour, Harbour Town is both the crowning achievement of famed designer Pete Dye and design consultant Jack Nicklaus. It places a premium on finesse, imagination and shot making, rather than strength. It is the course that literally put Hilton Head Island on the map and more than 40 years later, Harbour Town Golf Links remains one of the most revered courses in the world. Home to the RBC Heritage Classic, South Carolina’s only PGA TOUR event, this distinguished course places a premium on finesse, imagination and shot making, rather than strength. The crowning achievement of famed designer Pete Dye, no golf excursion to Hilton Head Island is complete without experiencing this Lowcountry legend.

Palmetto Golf Club

Palmetto Golf Club was founded in 1892 by Thomas Hitchcock. . The Club is the oldest, continually operated 18-hole course in its original locationin the United States after Chicago Golf Club. The green complexes at Palmetto are a delight and their current size is the result of Gil Hanse’s restoration work, which pushed the putting surfaces outwards utilising the existing mounds to great effect. Additionally the bunkers were reworked under Hanse’s stewardship. Dr Alister MacKenzie was quoted saying “The alterations at Palmetto have been such a success that the Chairman of Bobby Jones’ executive committee at the Augusta National writes me saying, ‘We have only one serious complaint to make against you regarding the Augusta National. That layout you designed at Aiken is liked so well that the Aiken colony does not seem to be the least bit interested in coming over to the Augusta National’.”
