Client Testimonials
I have had feedback from most of our group and all, without exception, were full of praise for all the arrangements you had made for us. The Cullen was an ideal location and very well featured. The golf courses and facilities were stunning, and enjoyed by all.
Simon J, Auckland, NZ.
Dear Matthew, The golf trip was fantastic. The drivers were helpful the courses were wonderful the accom was fine and the transfers were fine. We have already mapped out next years tour but no doubt Gary will be on to you about this. I think Gold Select's service is wonderful. We just had a wonderful week. Thank you for all your help. Kind regards, John.
John M, Auckland, NZ
Both the Taupo courses were great, quite different – had my best score at Kinloch! The resort courses were wonderfully presented, excellent service and facilities. Difficult to say which 2 were the best. All 3 resorts were excellent but the service/staff at Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnapper was exceptional. Would use you guys again and recommend you to anybody thinking of doing something similar. Very happy customers! No improvements, just great and thank you for all your efforts on our behalf.
Carl D, Melbourne.
We really enjoyed our trip down under and appreciate the quality of the arrangements you made. Really just a positive experience all around and full of great memories. We have several friends who we have spoken to about doing a golf trip down under and we will certainly refer them your way for arrangements. Chris and I look forward to you visiting for a round with us on our home course so we can earn our money back. Once again thanks for the wonderful memories and friendship.
Scott H, York, PA, USA
We had an absolute ball. I cant thankyou enough for help through out the whole booking process. The transfers were very professional. As for the golf...Spectacular. Royal Melb was a little under-conditioned with the new fairways but the course layout was great. Kingston Heath-The course was impeccable. It is a day that we will all rememeber till we die. The Heritage-The greens were the best we played all weekend. Woodlands-Bunkers are sensational as are the greens.
Scott M., Sydney, Aus
We had a great time on our trip and enjoyed all the golf. Your service was excellent! I feel that you gave us the same consideration that you would give a large group, and I really appreciate that. We appreciate your meeting us and enjoyed lunch very much. Thank you for arranging for us to play Royal Melbourne West. It was so kind of you to go to that extra effort. We will definitely recommend your service at any opportunity.
Leah M, Dallas, USA
Hi Matt Great to meet you…thanks for organising an awesome tour for us…everything went so well…the guys were very happy with the courses, the accommodation, the special inclusions (balls/tees/the book etc etc). Glen did a great job with the coach transfers and it all made me look like I knew what I was doing, so that was good too!! Hope to organise another trip before too long. Thanks again. Cheers Al p.s. thanks for the coffees at Woodlands
Alan Y, Palmerston North, NZ.
Good morning Matt On behalf of the entire group we thank you and Golf Select for a great trip and professional service. Everyday was full of fun, great golf and enjoyment. We had no negatives and the courses and staff at the Clubs we visited were all outstanding. The books and the welcome gift you kindly gave each of the tour members were well received and a big hit as all 3 courses plus Kingston Heath were included in the book.
Gavin K, Gold Coast, Aus.
To make a long story short: thanks a lot once again for the perfect planning of everything ! The whole vacation was great and your preparation and execution of the itinerary was just the best I have experienced yet.
Kai M, Munich, Germany
Thank you Gary for your assistance in organising our US Masters tour and associated golf. In summary, we had a fantastic time. We really appreciated your assistance in advising on course selection, and timing of the trip - we couldn't have planned it without your assistance. Thanks again to you and your team for your assistance.
Tim M, Melbourne, Australia
What a great trip! The arrangements you made for us were outstanding and we truly enjoyed all the accomodations and golf courses. Looking forward to returning to such a beautiful part of the world sometime soon.
Richard S, New York, USA
Hi Gary Thanks again for organising our golf holiday. We all had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the golf courses (even though we all duffed our drives when you were watching!)
Sam A, Perth, Australia
We used GOLFSelect and I can recommend them highly. They made reservations for us at 14 different courses in Australia, all with golf carts which are tough to come by, gave us a GPS system that covered every airport, golf course and hotel on the trip that did not get us lost even once, and when I overpaid him by mistake in US Dollars instead of Australian Dollars, he refunded the money immediately and I would never have caught my own mistake. Everything came off without a hitch.
Carey L, Miami, USA
Hi Gary, I've finally been able to figure out what day it is after being back almost a week. We had a great time and really appreciate your help and organization. I would definitely recommend your organization.
John B, Canada
The two courses I played in NZ were some of the best ever. We had a wonderful time and appreciate you arranging this trip. I will recommend you to ANYONE who will listen!
George K, Alabama, USA
Thanks again for all your hard work, and let me just reiterate that I had a fantastic time, and I'm DEFINITELY going start planning another Australia golf trip with you sometime soon, most likely for the end of the year.
Sean M, Los Angeles, USA
Once again, thank you for providing us with a fantastic golf holiday. On a scale of 1 - 10, definitely 11+ !!!!!!
Deidre D., Melbourne, Australia.
Every thing was great with our golf at Royal Sydney and NSW Golf Club! We loved the courses and thought the services you provided were excellent. Very thorough, nice touches, very professional. I hope to work again with you and will certainly recommend you to others.
