Ruben Meiland, CEO of Leading Courses, said: “Data shows that the vast majority of our users book tee times abroad. Whether it’s Dutch golfers booking tee times in Spain or Swedish golfers playing in Portugal; we cater to golfers throughout Europe that have such a passion for the game that they travel to play the best courses. That’s why this partnership with Booking.com is so exciting. By leveraging forward-thinking technology from both ends, we’re able to provide our audience with relevant accommodations that meet their needs. And this is just the first step.”
