If you've been doing an online comparison of golf tour operators, STOP! Your search has ended with the best.Our experience with SGH Golf was amazing. First, I was booking this trip for my husband - the golfer - and me - a non-golfer. SGH was the ONLY tour company that would work with me - all the other companies would work with 4 or 8 golfers, nothing less.SGH provided us overwhelming detail about the golf courses and if I had requested a specific course, that would've happened. I tried doing research on my own but this would've become a full-time job. SGH also provided sightseeing information for me. I was thoroughly entertained on this trip! SGH arranged a rental car for us. Doug, our in-country host, met us at the airport and walked us to our car. He gave us a crash course in UK driving and we followed him through the 1st 2 roundabouts leaving the airport - which was terrific 'cause we surely would've gotten lost! 2 caveats: 1. prior to the golf trip we spent 9 days on a guided tour of the UK, which was helpful - we didn't have jet lag while driving and we had time to get used to cars being on the "wrong" side of the road. 2. Make sure your rental car is equipped with GPS! It is essential for navigating the roundabouts.Every night Doug called my husband for feedback on the day's golf experience. Since he was a single golfer, SGH was unable to get a tee time at St Andrews (though they tried) but Doug gave my husband tips for navigating the lottery system and he was successful.They arranged top notch lodging. In North Berwick, we stayed at the Marine Hotel. Our mini=suite with floor to ceiling windows, overlooked the 16th fairway and the North Sea. Simply gorgeous! At St. Andrews, we stayed at the Scores Hotel, just across the street from The Old Course. Again, a simply magnificent view of the golf course and North Sea. Breakfast was included with our stay. SGH made a once-in-a-lifetime trip even more special. Their personalized service, design of golf packages is simply top notch.

Not a trustworthy golf tour operator IMO. We booked in Ireland and were told we had two rounds on one day. Gave them our Credit card info and got a confirmed itinerary.Got a call a month later saying the club was closed for a member guest. When we were in Ireland I talked with the Club secretary and found out that there was no member guest and that they had never booked our times. There big connections got us on at 4pm . HAHA. I had put my own name on the waiting list after all this transpired and they had a cancellation fortunately. I would hate for someone to plan their dream trip and have this happen.
