Testimonials

Having organised several trips abroad for our group down the years, I had become increasingly disillusioned with the UK tour operators failing to deliver what we had asked for. Quite by chance, I stumbled across Golf 4 U Spain on the internet, and whilst not expecting anything different, decided to give them a call to see what they had to offer.

I spoke to Stuart and explained that we had been disappointed for the last couple of trips by either the quality of accommodation or the poor, overplayed and over-booked courses on offer. He assured me he could tailor a package to fit exactly what we wanted, and I have to say I was quietly confident just by speaking to him on the phone that he understood what we wanted and how to deliver it.

That trip proved a watershed, with everything equal to or better than our group’s expectations throughout. We have now been using Stuart for 5 years, and have never had any cause to complain. We have not even considered booking through any other operator since.

In summary, we are kept informed of every aspect of our break pre-trip. Knowing the sort of courses we wish to play, he offers us excellent guidance on what would be suitable, whilst keeping costs within our budget. Once in Spain, we are met at the airport as promised before being transferred to our hotel where he oversees our check in. Course itineraries have always been precise, as have pick up times from the executive transfers which, for any group of 12 or more, we would strongly recommend. Stuart provides us with his office and mobile numbers in case of any issues, and true to his word on the one occasion where there was a query over tee times at a course, Stuart was available to smoothly resolve the issue.

Another example of their service came 2 years ago when, quite unprompted, Stuart contacted me 2 weeks before departure to explain that one of the courses was not up to the standard he’d expect, and recommending we switch courses. The new course suggested was more expensive to book, but he stood by the original price. Whilst in Spain, others on similar trips were complaining about the course we had been steered away from, and the substitute proved to be a real hit. That sort of service you simply do not get from UK based operators.

With all these benefits, it would be fair to assume a higher cost than competitors, but this could not be further from the truth. When pricing similar trips up out of interest in the first couple of years, it became obvious that we receive superior service at a lower cost. We no longer bother pricing elsewhere as we know we will get value for money.

It is no surprise to me that our group number has expanded from 12 to 20 since using Stuart as the trips are excellent value and superbly organised.

I would not hesitate to recommend Golf 4 U Spain to anyone looking to book a golfing trip, as quality, outstanding service and value are assured.

Hi Stuart,

Just to say we had another great trip, everything was well organised as ever, we even had a hole in 1 at Santa Maria.

I will be in touch soon to organise next year’s tour.

Thanks once again,

Thanks again Stuart, your team provided a smooth operation on this our third tour with you.

Always a few issues with 20 golfers but everything fell into place without too many dramas, perfect for the tour organisers.

We revisited El Paraiso which has become a firm favourite as the starter course for our boys, the staff there were very welcoming.

Two new tracks were then tried out.  Atalaya Old Course which proved a very good test and more difficult  for a lot of us.

Then to finish we visited Los Naranjos, a scenic course which again was most enjoyable and will be on the list for another visit.

Good hotel and location, great April weather, we will return.

Hi Stuart
I am emailing you on behalf of the lads from Connemara Galway to thank you for everything. They had a great time and things went very smoothly.

Hopefully we will have the pleasure of dealing with you again next year.

Thanks again,

O. M.G. Golf Society from Connemara. Co, Galway.

Hi Stuart
Just wanted to say we had a fantastic trip. The hotel, courses, and transfers were all top notch and it all went like clockwork.

First time playing abroad for most of us and we will be back, although we may need some time to recover!

Many thanks and best regards,

Jon – Waretours

We are a golfing party from Essex and we have been using Golf 4 U Spain for the best part of 7 years – excellent in designing specific itineraries to meet our golfing requirements, with every aspect covered, from coach transfer, hotels, booking tee times all completely hassle free.

Friendly, reliable service and great value, easy to do business with and that’s why we keep coming back year after year – many thanks to Stuart and the Golf 4 U Spain team.

Neil Manton

Thanks for a great trip, this is our 3rd trip with Golf 4 U Spain and all went according to plan yet again.

Thanks from the lads.

Steve Gale

Golf 4 U Spain put together a great Costa del Sol golf and accommodation package for our group at a competitive price, but it’s when things get tough that you find out how good a tour organiser really is. In our case, it rained hard for two days and closed some courses, yet Golf 4 U Spain did a wonderful job in getting us on to alternative courses at really short notice and re-arranging the tour schedule to suit our needs.

The company’s local presence is a big advantage and it came to the fore when prompt and on the spot service was needed.”

Many thanks,

Chris Schrape

We’ve used Golf 4 U Spain now for five years and our group has grown to 24 ‘golfers’. Stuart and his team have always made us very welcome and the organisation has been superb!

Looking forward a trip number 6….

Glenn Miller

Many thanks for all your help in making our golf trip a great one, the personal touch of being greeted at airport right through to the ease of booking in the golf clubs was fabulous.

The choice of hotel and punctuality of all mini-bus pick-ups was exceptional, our group can not praise you highly enough, and look forward to further golf trips with you.

Many thanks,

Chris Gregory

We have been using Golf 4 U Spain for 3 years now and I can only say good things about them, from the booking to the return on the coach, everything runs to plan and my thanks to Stuart who makes the extra effort to make sure nothing goes un-missed.

The level of service you get is 5 star, when we arrive at the airport Stuart is there to meet you and takes all 32 of us to the coach, he makes sure we have all we need and I am amazed how smooth the golf breaks have run, we get collected by the coach company from the hotel on times set and taken back the same, it just makes the break so relaxed for us all.

Golf courses I would recommend:
La Cala golf, any of the three courses are always in great condition and such good scenery out there, really lovely place.

Marbella Golf Country Club is a really good venue and some really tough holes out there, but I would go back again and again, great bar there too with good views of 18th green.

Valle Romano is a must as a treasure, absolutely fantastic course and immaculate condition, another course we would play again and again, all in all just a great company to deal with from arrival to return.

I can’t thank Stuart enough as he is great to deal with and helps with all the questions, all in all I would recommend Golf 4 U Spain to any golfing party.

Many thanks,

Jason Cattle, 6 Handicap

Hi Stuart
A quick email to say how well impressed we are with yourself and your company. Organisation second to none, booking was easy answered all my queries before we travelled. Greeted at the airport by yourself which was a great touch. Hotel Bali in Benalmadena was spot on, transfers to and from golf on time each and every day.

The 3 courses we booked play Alhaurin, Mijas Los Olivos and Lauro were first class, shame about the weather and the round being abandoned at Lauro but that is no fault of yours this will be on our list to play next year. Communication throughout our time in Spain was excellent especially on the day of the Thunderstorms.

Anyone looking for an all-round golf package then look no further this is the company for you, I will be using Stuart each and every year from now on.

Once again thanks very much and roll on 2015.

Andy Clay-The TC Society.

Hi Stuart
We would like to thank you and your team for looking after our party during our stay in Fuengirola. Everything ran like clockwork from meeting us at the airport to the hotel and golf transfers.

We would highly recommend the hiring of golf clubs as it makes things so much easier and the quality was excellent.

We will be back with you next year, thanks again…

Paul Harris – South Wales

Hi Stuart
Wanted to leave a testimonial to our holiday(sorry we don’t have a photo, must remember to take one next year).

We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for organising our golf holiday, we had a fantastic time with amazing weather. We played Cabopino, Calanova and El Chaparral. El Chaparral was okay but we loved Cabopino and Calanova and we will probably play those two next year.

This was the first time we had the holiday organised by Golf 4 U Spain. We had previously used a couple of different companies but someone recommended your company so we thought we would give it a try.

By far your company was the very best in all aspects. We can’t speak highly enough about the organisation, friendliness and professionalism.

We all had an amazing trip and we will certainly be back again in 2015. Just wish we had found your company earlier.

P.S We will probably hire golf clubs next year as the reviews left on the site are very good and will save us lugging our clubs about especially through the airports.

Thanks
Mike Seath and Co INVERNESS

Hi Stuart,
Once again thanks for a great well organised golf trip to Spain.
We had a fantastic time and will be back next year.
Regards,
Dave and the boys.

Vincent Cooney and group enjoying Laranjal in the Algarve

Hello Stuart,
On behalf of my fellow golfers and me, I would like to Thank you for such a wonderful week on the Costa del Sol. Pity about the first couple of days weather, but, nothing could be done about that. Everyone enjoyed the experience, especially the 3 new comers, who have caught the bug and want more of it next year.
The apartments were great and well situated for all the amenities. Transfers, pick ups and drop offs, were excellent, and the drivers very patient waiting for us at the golf clubs. All round, it was an excellent trip and very much appreciated and a big thanks must go to you and your staff for all the organisation that goes into one of these holidays. Just a pity we never met up at the end.
It’s very much looking like we could be visiting The Algarve next year, which seems to be the general consensus. I know you have people out there, perhaps you could put a good word in for us? But, for now, until the next time, once again, thanks for a marvellous week.

Regards to you and Staff……. Peter..

Hi Stuart
Well where do I start, what a fantastic week with the golf and weather. The Hotel Bali nothing but good things to say about it, the staff were excellent couldn’t do enough for you, the food was plentiful and every evening meal different and enjoyable, the evening entertainment was worth staying in for and the selection of drinks goes without saying all round and excellent hotel. Please pass on our thanks.

Now down to the most important bit the golf…

Saturday – La Cala – America great course but very hard.

Sunday – La Cala – Asia Fantastic course but very hard.

Tuesday – Calanova – last year we played it six times this year still a nice course but the greens and some of the fairways were a bit worn and patchy in places but still a course worth visiting. We met a party of guys there, who I gave your business card to and so you might get an inquiry, as I said, I had used many different tour operators before and yours was the best by a long, long way.

Wednesday – Lauro – we have always enjoyed playing here, this year was very different as it poured down with rain just as we were tee-ing off got soaked through, and then by the 6th hole we were all bone dry.

Thursday – La Cala – Europa absolutely astounding what a collection of amazing golf holes but like the other two La Cala courses very hard, maybe the next time we might do them justice.

Every course we played even though some were very busy, we hardly saw anybody out on the courses, a week of millionaires golf.

So on behalf of the six of us, I would like to thank you and your company very much for making our stay in Benalmadena thoroughly enjoyable. And as for the golf, at times it was extremely frustrating as the courses were both challenging and demanding but that was easily forgotten as the stunning views and how picturesque the courses were made it all worthwhile.

We shall be back,
Best regards,

Gary Ashcroft Golf Trip – Spain 2014

Hi Stuart
Just a short note of thanks for organising another Flawless golf break for me and the Lads. Faldo course was fantastic and spectacular and a great challenge. The others,though not as picturesque as many Spanish courses, were of high quality and very enjoyable. Hotel was good standard and efficient as was the transfer company. Albufueira is a definite step up from Fuengirola with 2 very different sections of ‘the Strip’ and the ‘Old Town’.

After that review it is still jury out regarding a return or back to Spain next year.

Thanks again,

Gordon and the Lads

Hi Stuart,
Being lumbered with the task of organising this event for 15 attendees, some of whom were non-golfers, flying into Malaga from five different UK airports, was like herding cats. Fortunately, the task was made considerably easier utilising the experience and know-how of Stuart and his team at Golf4USpain. From the multiple airport transfers, the hotel (H10 Andalucía Plaza), our choice of golf courses and accompanying golf transfers, everything was extremely well organised and executed by Stuart and his team.

All the guys who attended commented on how efficiently everything happened as communicated and planned which made for a great trip, helped in no small part by the attention to detail you get from using an operator who is knowledgeable about the location and particularly the courses, which can be illustrated by the fact we ruled out a few course choices because Stuart was aware of either the course condition or course maintenance scheduled prior to our planned dates which would’ve meant the greens and / or fairways having not sufficiently recovered, for example.

Being able to neck a few cold ones after each round, dissect the day and award the prizes and wooden spoon and then just have to get yourself and your clubs to the car park for the transfer back to the hotel also capped off each round memorably.

We played Marbella Club Resort, Los Flamingos, Sotogrande and Finca Cortesin. All were a pleasure to play and enjoyed by all the guys whose handicaps ranged from 6 to 24. The greens at Sotogrande were something else, at least 11 on the stimpmeter and as true as you’ll find however the highest praise from our group was for Finca Cortesin, including from some of the guys who play Valderama every year and who rated it better all-round, particularly the warm welcome and hospitality afforded to us.

I’ve used other golf operators, both UK-based and on the Costa del Sol previously, however based on the excellent service we received, next year’s trips will unequivocally be organised using Golf4USpain.

Thanks again Stuart and please pass on our thanks to the rest of your team.

Bruce Reid

I cannot recommend Golf4uspain enough, this was our 10th trip with his team and everything they had arranged was first class as usual and at a fantastic price. From the hotel, transfers, choice of courses and the endless daily support we could have not asked more. Prior to going out and at late notice, we asked for a change of a course due to bad reviews and Stu immediately did so and then he informed us that another course we were supposed to be playing had closed and consulted with me asking what course we fancied playing. If you want a trouble free golf trip organised by a professional team go no further than Golf4uspain, they are superb and we definately would not travel with any other company.

Hi Stuart

Just a very big thank you to you and your staff for a fantastic weeks golf, everything was A1. We could not fault anything, pick ups and transfers, hotel and golf courses everything faultless. Thank you very much.

Kind regards  Keith Powell

Hi Stuart,

Will definitely come back to you for next year.

Have a great summer!

Stu

Stuart,

A big thank for another fantastic trip for the Regulars Golf Society in 2017.

As a group we have been booking since 2010 (My 4th as organiser) and cannot praise highly enough.

From airport pick up through to Hotel and golf transfers everything runs to plan.

We will be back in touch for our 2018 trip !

Carl Rodel

Hi Stuart, Many thanks for your services, our trip went seamlessly, great hotel, golf and transfers.  Clive Robinson is arranging 2018 so I expect he will be in contact. Once again many thanks we had terrific break with sun all week.

Regards

Brian.

Big big thanks for all the arrangements on our holiday, hotel was fab as usual, all the restaurant had been revamped and looking great, courses were all up to scratch, Marbella had the quickest greens I’ve ever played on. And I’ve played it around 6/7 times. Transfers were always bang on time with the friendliest of drivers. Fantastic week, catch u again for next year. Brian Allen

Dealt with Stuart and gang for over 10 years now, they cant do enough for you to ensure all goes well, just back from another seamless trip in Portugal, well organised, well priced, well done.

See you next year, maybe back to Spain
