About Matthew

I have worked in the golf industry for over 10 years and in that time have managed to visit some great golf resorts.

I am based in Scotland now and am lucky enough to call Hayston Golf Club my home club where I play off +3. I would encourage anyone who hasn’t visited Scotland for a golf trip to come up and experience a unique part of the golfing world.

There is no better place with packages and tours to fit all abilities and budgets.

Where Matthew has Travelled

In my time at Your Golf Travel I have been able to travel to some great destinations with my favourite being Pinehurst in North Carolina. A must for groups who want to experience American golf at its finest.

Recently I have been to Turkey, Lisbon, Barcelona and I put my own tour of Scotland together which finished at Gleneagles. My next trip is in the summer with a week at Costa Navarino to check out the two new courses they have just opened.

Pinehurst Resort - North Carolina, America

Gleneagles - Perthshire, Scotland

Costa Navarino, Hills Course - Messinia, Greece

Carya Golf Club - Belek, Turkey

Best Golf Destinations Matthew has Visited

Pinehurst Golf Resort

America

It has everything a golfer could dream of. A must for keen golfing groups.

Gleneagles

Scotland

Simply one of the best golf resorts in the world. The Kings course might be the most underrated course in Scotland.

Royal Dornoch

Scotland

A long way north but well worth it. One of the best courses in the world.

Regnum Carya Resort

Turkey

One of the finest hotels in Turkey with the best golf course in Turkey attached. What is not to like.

Praia D'El Rey Resort

Portugal

With West Cliffs opening recently this has become the best value golf resort in Europe.

Royal St George's

England

My favourite golf course in England. It has everything you could want from a links course. A must play.

Golf Destinations on Matthew's Bucket List

Pebble Beach

America

I am trying to work this into my honeymoon trip, wish me luck.

Bandon Dunes

America

With 4 top 100 courses on the resort it is a pilgrimage for American golfers. I am desperate to get over there.

Royal Troon

Scotland

Host of The Open 9 times, due to be 10, worth playing just for the iconic Postage Stamp.

Royal County Down

Northern Ireland

I had a trip here cancelled due to the pandemic and am desperate to get back.

Streamsong Golf Resort

America

Relatively new resort in Florida which has 3 top golf courses that I can't wait to play.

Sawgrass

America

Having watched the Players Championship for a number of years I would really love to give the course a try.
