Leading golf tour operator Golfbreaks has launched of a new series of inspection trips in partnership with The Professional Golfers’ Association.
These exclusive trips offer PGA Members across the UK and Ireland the opportunity to visit and experience PGA Branded Properties across Europe ahead of hosting future group bookings.
The partnership, which dates back to 2007, has long focused on providing PGA Members with dedicated support through the Golfbreaks Pro Travel Club – a programme designed specifically to help pros organise and deliver unforgettable golf trips for their members and clients.
As part of the Pro Travel Club, PGA Members receive bespoke travel planning, dedicated account management, market-leading incentives, and access to exclusive experiences such as these inspection trips.
This year’s inspection trip series will include hosted visits to three of Europe’s premier PGA Branded Properties:
- PGA National Italy – Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort (October)
- Stadium Course, Camiral Golf, Spain (November)
- PGA National Cyprus – Aphrodite Hills Resort (December)
Each destination has been handpicked for its world-class golf facilities, luxury accommodation, accessibility, and suitability for PGA Member-led group travel.
Each trip features a curated itinerary that includes golf, venue tours, networking dinners, and time to enjoy the destination. Spaces are strictly limited and available to PGA Members who are part of the Golfbreaks Pro Travel Club.
Duncan Rougvie, Head of Commercial at The PGA, said: “These trips present a valuable opportunity for PGA Members to experience some of Europe’s finest PGA Branded Properties first-hand. By continuing to create opportunities like this with our Partner Golfbreaks, we’re supporting Members in delivering high-quality golf travel experiences for their clients. It’s a great way for Members to assess venues, build connections and gain insights that will only enhance their group travel planning.”
Ben Foster, Director of Pro Travel at Golfbreaks, commented: “Our mission is to make group travel as seamless, rewarding, and successful as possible for PGA Professionals. These inspection trips give Pros a chance to explore world-class destinations with the full support of our team – not just to help them plan the perfect trip, but also to build long-term trust and confidence in Golfbreaks as a partner.”
Referral incentive scheme
In addition to the new PGA venue inspection trips, Golfbreaks has also launched a new referral incentive scheme for PGA Members who are members of the Pro Travel Club.
The initiative, available for a limited three-month period, is designed to reward PGA Professionals who help expand the Pro Travel network by referring fellow Pros.
From August 1 to October 31, Pro Travel Club members will receive a £50 Golfbreaks voucher for every eligible PGA Professional they refer who goes on to book and travel with Golfbreaks. There is no cap on the number of referrals a Pro can make.
To qualify for the reward, referred professionals must not have booked or travelled with Golfbreaks in the past three years. Referrals can be submitted via a simple online form, with the voucher issued following the referred Pro’s completed travel.
The Golfbreaks Pro Travel Club offers PGA Professionals access to dedicated support, £500 credit to use against future breaks, inspection trip access, invites to social events and tools to simplify group travel planning.
