About Sam

I have worked at Your Golf Travel for over 7 years now. I specialise in multi component trips around the UK & Ireland, offering many bucket list destinations. My favourite part of the job I do is hearing customers experiences playing the very best golf courses. If you have played good or bad everyone always comes away having an amazing time walking in the foot steps of their idols past and present.

Tours are brilliant to go on with the group. You can base yourself in a city centre have some great nights out and then spend the days playing some great golf. Some of the more serious players will base themselves in a cosy B&B and have a more civilised evening drink with their friends. Either trip is always a great experience for everyone involved. The best part about Tours is that you can tick off those top 100 golf courses everyone tries completing. You can see for yourself the difficulting in tackling an Open Championship course. Alternatively, just experience some really nice member courses that you may of never heard of.

Where Sam has Travelled

I am lucky to have travelled as much as I have done in my career at Your Golf Travel.

I have ventured through Ireland on a week-long tour. It was an amazing trip starting at Royal Dublin and finishing all the way up at Ballyliffin. We played some amazing courses on our way to our finishing point.

I witnessed history being made at the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. Cameron Smith and Rory McIlroy battling to Open Championship Glory. We hosted hundreds of excited Your Golf Travel Customers that week, everyone had an amazing time.

I recently just came back from a trip from Ayrshire. Amazing part of the world, everyone is so passionate about their golf. I visited Royal Troon, Dundonald Links & Turnberry, it was a trip that ticked off 3 of my bucket list courses.

Trump Turnberry, Ayrshire, Scotland

Dundonald Links Golf Resort - Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland

Ballyliffin Golf Club, Co. Donegal, Ireland

Royal Troon Golf Club - Ayrshire, Scotland

Best Golf Destinations Sam has Visited

St Andrews

Scotland

The Home of Golf is littered with great golf courses that are highly regarded throughout the world. A magical place that attracts golfers from everywhere & everyone is happy to chat and make friends. My course for the area is Kingsbarns one of the best I've ever played. It's challenging but fair with beautiful views across the entire course.

Ayrshire

Scotland

Offering superb golf for all abilities & budgets. Play Prestwick, the first Open Championship venue, stage your own 'Duel in the Sun' at Turnberry or follow in Xander Schauffele footsteps at Royal Troon. Turnberry is my 'Top Tip' with two outstanding courses: the breathtaking Ailsa playing around the lighthouse and the challenging King Robert the Bruce with its gorse bushes.

Co. Donegal

Ireland

You can't go wrong with a golf trip in Ireland but Donegal is great for golf & nightlife! I have had some great nights out in Donegal.

A bit further away is Narin & Portnoo. Simply the most breath taking golf course I have ever played. Words can't descibe it, you have to play it for yourself, check out the images of it. It's amazing!

Aberdeen

Scotland

Fancy one of the UK's ultimate golfing experiences? Get yourself to Trump International Gofl Links, some on the most dramatic dunes I have played. It is like millionaire golf, you feel so secluded with the spacing of the tee times and you barely see other holes. The New Course addition will make this one of the UK's greatest golfing experiences.

East Lothian

Scotland

A fantastic golf destination, just 45 minutes from Edinburgh, featuring a coastline of great courses like Cragielaw & Muirfield. North Berwick stands out for me. I played it with my Dad and had a blast, especially on the 13th, where a wall crosses the green. I chipped over it; he putted through — a fun memory we still talk about.

Golf Destinations on Sam's Bucket List

The Masters

USA

The ultimate golfing Tournamet. I have heard many stories of people coming back from their first trip to Augusta and they all say that the TV does not do it justice. I have to witness and see it for myself.

Inverness

Scotland

The last place I want to tick off in Scotland is Inverness. The courses there looking amazing and I am desperate to play there. Cabot Highlands have made some great changes to the course that I have to see. We always get brilliant feedback from Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Brora.

Bournemouth

England

Surprising living in London all my life. I have never played in Bournemouth. I would love the oppotunity to play the regarded "Big 4" Down there. Parkstone, Remedy Oak, Broadstone and Ferndown. They all look like stunning Heathland golf courses. A night out in Bournemouth would not go amiss either.

Royal St Georges

England

I'm on a mission to start ticking off as many Open Championship courses as I possibly can. Royal St Georges is one of those that I am desperate to play, being so close to home, I have to go a play it. The first Open Championship I ever went to watch was at the 2011 Open. Since then I have always had my eye on getting down there.

The Ryder Cup

Europe & USA

I would love to watch the Ryder Cup. I love the passion that team sport can have. It is always a really good contest between USA and Europe. The atmosphere of the crowds is something I have to witness for myself.
