Golfbreaks.com, Europe’s largest golf travel company, has appointed specialist golf marketing and PR firm Landmark Media International to promote its Teeofftimes.co.uk business and support the brand’s further expansion in the UK and Ireland.

The agency will now manage Teeofftimes.co.uk’s media relations campaign to help raise brand awareness, communicate new offerings and market information, as well as uphold the company’s leading position as the UK’s largest tee time booking service.

“With already 536 golf clubs and courses now on our books, we are keen to progress to the next level of growth and believe with the help of Landmark Media International we will be able to achieve our ambitious goals,” commented Steve Hemsworth, Managing Director of Golfbreaks.com.

The online business, powered by Golfbreaks.com, and which has booked UK tee times for over 100,000 customers this year, is keen to give golfers across the country great discounts, all-year-round offers and outstanding value for money, not to mention the opportunity to play at some of the UK’s leading golf courses, including The Warwickshire, Turnberry, Moors Valley, Foxhills and Moor Allerton.

“Golfers’ habits are changing. We are seeing a trend in more ‘last minute’ bookings. So far this year, 67% of bookings have been made within 72 hours of play and 43% are booked when the pro shop would normally be closed,” added Steve. “Teeofftimes.co.uk enables golfers to make these bookings and we are confident an increasing number of golfers are looking for that flexibility when booking tee times.

“With Landmark Media’s knowledge of the golf market and its expertise in managing upmarket brands, we are confident we can accelerate our growth and communicate the compelling message that convenience sells,” Steve concluded.

A growing number of golfers within societies and large groups are booking their entire calendar of golfing events through Teeofftimes.co.uk, a service that the team provides, taking away all the pressure from the group organiser.

Golfers making a booking can also take advantage of the unique Break Points loyalty scheme that rewards people with one point for every £10 spent. These points can then be redeemed against any future Teeofftimes.co.uk booking, Golfbreaks.com holiday or Bookaspa.com package.
