On a humorous note, I believe if a course has stunning views, it automatically gets extra points! Who doesn’t love a nice backdrop while playing?
Haha that’s true! Maybe we should create a ‘scenic beauty’ ranking category!
I do wonder how golf tours rank the accessibility factor. Are there standard metrics they use, or is it just based on personal experiences?
That’s a fantastic question! I’d love to see a tour that clearly outlines these criteria so we can better understand their rankings.
I’m excited to see this discussion! I recently went on a golf tour with GolfTravel Co., and their packages were comprehensive, ranging from $1500 to $3000. The features were impressive, but I found the pricing a bit steep for some options.
Reflecting on this, it might also be interesting to explore how the environmental impact of a course influences rankings. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important.
That’s interesting, Mary! I’ve had a different experience with TeeTime Tours. They offer more affordable packages starting around $800, which include green fees and accommodations. It’s a great option for budget travelers!
Budget-friendly is definitely a plus! However, I noticed that some features were lacking, like proper transportation. Anyone else experienced this with other operators?
That’s a valid point, James. I did a tour with Fairway Adventures, and while their price was about $1200, the transport arrangements were top-notch! They even included a local guide, which was fantastic.
Fairway Adventures sounds solid! I also had a great time with GreenGrass Tours. They had some unique offerings, like sunset rounds and golf lessons included!
Sunset rounds? That’s amazing, Sandra! But how were their package prices? I’m curious how they compare to others. 
I also loved the idea of unique offerings! Initially, I was skeptical about spending a bit more, but unique experiences can be worth it. Anyone else feel that way?
I totally agree, Lisa! Sometimes, it’s not just about hitting the course; it’s about the overall experience! Links & Tees Tours once surprised me with a wine tasting after a round—a fantastic touch!

Wow, that sounds delightful! However, did anyone feel like some tours oversell their packages? I’ve seen ads that seem too good to be true.
Oh, absolutely, Paul! I’ve had a similar experience with some companies that promised luxury but delivered mediocre service. It’s great to hear everyone’s insights; transparency is crucial!

So true, Shannon! It seems like a jungle out there with so many options. I think we should also consider customer service experiences—what matters most to you?
That’s a good question, Elizabeth! For me, it’s a mix of service and value. I love when operators go the extra mile, but humor during the trip can also make everything memorable, right?
