FAQs

What is PerryGolf’s Small Group Tour background?
We have operated small group tours since 1984, principally for small groups of friends on a customized basis. The small group tours we now offer are slightly different in that individuals who do not know each other can sign up for the trip and be part of a larger group. The service and delivery principle are the same however. We strive to excel and deliver memorable golf and travel experiences as we have done for thousands of clients since 1984.

What format do the Small Group Tours follow?
Our Small Group Tours are a fully managed all-inclusive experience, delivered in a way that ensures exceptional guest satisfaction. All arrangements and logistics are managed in advance and onsite by PerryGolf. Beyond golf, guests are free to explore on their own arrangements. The ethos of the escorted tour program is to create a turnkey environment for travelers to relax and enjoy every aspect of the tour, without concerning themselves with the details. The program creates a stress-free environment, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their chosen destination and the opportunity of playing some of the world’s finest and most memorable golfing venues…to do so in the company of existing or likeminded new-found friends.
-

Some guests join our Small Group Tours as relatively self-contained groups, e.g. 2 or 4 couples who know each other, and they will have their own golfing partners already arranged. Other guests travel as individual couples or single travelers and are seeking to meet and play golf with other guests. We will arrange golf pairings for these guests and through this a great many friendship are born. Non-golfing spouses are also perfectly catered for with a range of sightseeing opportunities available.

-
Are internal flights included?
Yes. When a tour requires an internal flight in the middle of an Escorted Tour, PerryGolf will include the cost of an economy ticket in the package cost (excluding Small Group Tours to South Africa). We will also include your carriage of golf equipment where relevant and a suitable luggage allowance. Guests are responsible for their own arrival/departure international flight arrangements which our Air Services staff can assist you with at 800.344.5257 or Air@PerryGolf.com.
-
What is the expected dress code?
Depending on the destination, smart golfing attire is expected, bermuda shorts and collared shirts never go out of style. Shorts are welcome and typical on the golf course. Indeed, dress codes as would apply in North America apply on golf courses around the world. In the evening shorts or long pants are acceptable with golf/casual shirt. There is no requirement at any stage for a coat and/or tie.
-
Are gratuities included?
All local taxes plus service charges and gratuities are included for all included items such as guides, baggage handling, golf service personnel etc. The only gratuity which is not included is the gratuity to your caddie. This is because we consider it to be a more one to one personal matter which is as much about personal recognition as it is about the actual remuneration. A gratuity of $15-$20 per caddie per round is appropriate.
-
How much free time will we have?
For guests who are golfing and sightseeing, it is a fairly full schedule, with the majority of guests wishing to see and do as much as they can in what may be a once in a lifetime trip. We do however build in some “downtime” to allow guests to simply relax and enjoy the outstanding facilities at our various hotels.

Activities may include walking over uneven or rough surfaces, stepping on/off buses, walking up/down stairways where elevators do not exist, stepping in/out of tender boats or occasionally smaller boats, this list is intended as representative but is not exhaustive. If a guest has any concerns over their fitness or mobility levels they should discuss this in advance of any trip with a PerryGolf golf travel specialist and they will provide further information with regard to the activities that you are concerned about, but in general, PerryGolf activities are not designed or intended to be overly strenuous.
