We're golfers too and have travelled the world extensively on our own 'golf adventures'. We understand the needs and wishes of discerning, travelling golfers from many years of personal experience. We dealt with some of the best (and worst) golf travel companies in the world. That's why we created Global Golf (previously Personalised Golf Adventures) in 2001. We still manage, operate and staff the company directly. We have made it our business to learn the shortcuts and make the contacts that help us deliver unrivalled access and lifelong memories for you, your clients and members and the rest of our golfing friends. We are both currently members of Yarra Yarra Golf Club (Victoria) as well as Royal Queensland and Sanctuary Cove ( Queensland). Biv is fortunate enough to have played more than half of the Top 100 courses in the world while Greg is actually one of Australia's all-time most-travelled golfers. After playing Sand Hills in mid-2017 he has now played 99 of Golf Magazine's World's Greatest 100 Courses! Click here to read an article on Greg's journey featured in the June 2018 edition of Golf Australia Magazine.
We are proud to work with the management & membership of many of Australia’s finest private clubs. As we move into our second decade of operation, we have already planned & arranged a large number of bespoke, club-based, hosted group tours. Most of the Hosts (usually the Club Professional) and many of the members have participated in several tours and we greatly appreciate that support. Some interesting facts from our journey so far:
We look forward to continuing to help Aussie golfers “walk the world’s greatest fairways”!
Greg Gilson Greg Gilson grew up around golf and golfers – his father was a long term member of the Queensland PGA. Greg worked in marketing and planning roles with Mobil for over 20 years (10 of those off shore). During this time he travelled extensively playing the world's greatest courses. He is a voracious reader of golf publications, is an amateur student of course architecture and has a wide knowledge of golf's history, traditions and destinations. This first hand experience, plus his organisation skills and attention to detail, are the key reasons clients constantly return for help planning their golf travel. |
