  • Thank you so much for giving us the best vacation we could have wished for. We loved the golf, our driver Steve, Doonbeg Resort, the scenery, the Irish people, even the food, and of course the pubs. You are the very best. Your experience and competence showed throughout the trip.
    Ms. Marcia M.
    Ireland
  • The variety of things to do made the trip better than I could imagine. Gordon Turner is delightful and obviously flexible to have dealt with the changes and details of our trip. This is the third Perry Golf trip I have been on and have had excellent experiences with all of them.
    Ms. Clair S.
    South Africa
  • My family and I have used PerryGolf on numerous occasions. Up to now, we have always booked trips of the "self-drive" variety. This year, I arranged a group of eight and we took one of your VIP coaches. What a difference. The ease of doing business with your company is why we keep coming back, trip after trip.

  • Everything exceeded expectation. It was all wonderful and if there were any ‘behind the scenes’ challenges I was not aware of them which is a good thing. Would I recommend PerryGolf to my friends/colleagues – yes in a heartbeat!

  • Once again, thanks for helping me complete a golf trip that was at the top of my bucket list. My only lament is that the trip is now in the rear view mirror.
    Mr. Harold R.

  • Our trip was fantastic- the itinerary, the courses, the directions, our reception at the airport, Alastair's help before we left- all were excellent.Thanks for making a memorable vacation a possibility; I am sure this will go down as my Dad's favorite birthday present!
    Mr. Jacob H.

  • This was my second trip with PerryGolf, and as it has been in the past, a fantastic trip. I can't say enough about your company and your entire staff. In the real estate business, I know my best business model is referrals, so you can bet I will refer all of my golfing friends to PerryGolf.
    Mr. Chuck S.

  • Once again, you have far exceeded very high expectations which you do on each trip. I continue to recommend PerryGolf to all who want to travel to Scotland. We look forward to our next trip.
    Mr. Dennis T.

  • Everyone at PerryGolf were top notch – took care of all the details, kept us informed and were fun. We will recommend PerryGolf to clients and friends and hope to travel again with PerryGolf on another great adventure.

  • Our driver, Michael Anderson, was absolutely terrific. I have taken guides on other trips to Europe and it always makes the trips when you don’t have to worry about details upon your arrival such as tee times, directions, reservations, etc. Mike was among the best I’ve ever had.
    Mr. Charles S.
    Scotland
  • Thank you so much for a fabulous golf tour of Asia. From the outset, our golf, hotel and transfers were smooth and efficient. Your support teams in Bangkok, Cambodia and Vietnam are outstanding. A special thanks to your guides who added fascinating local snippets of history or humor!
