“I like putting itineraries together, it’s a fantastic feeling creating golf holidays that people enjoy.” After a career on the professional golf circuit, Nigel Burch is enjoying organising golf holidays for our clients. He continues to travel the world playing top courses with clients and is now putting his extensive knowledge to excellent use.
“I enjoy looking for new destinations. There is nothing like going to a place and seeing it for myself.
“I love doing my job. I really enjoy meeting and talking to people, especially about golf! Our business is built on personal recommendations and there is always an added pleasure when clients come back for another holiday.”

Simon has been involved in the travel industry for over 30 years, and specifically within the Golf Holiday business since 1999. Fluent in french and playing off 17, Simon has visited many of our featured golf resorts, and was instrumental in developing our Golf Planet program.
“I always try and put myself in my clients’ position while working on itineraries with them. As a fellow holidaymaker it’s important to understand people’s needs, from choosing suitable hotels and courses, to ensuring buggies and practice facilities are available if required, transfer timings are appropriate and of course the price is right.
“I have been very fortunate over the years visiting some tremendous places. My favourite destinations to date are probably Borneo and Langkawi in Malayisa with British Columbia in Canada a close 3rd….Some stunning golf courses with amazing wildlife and brilliant cuisine!
“I got into golf quite late, having grown up watching The Masters on BBC. I then did a fly-drive trip around the north-east course of Scotland with a friend and just adored the outdoor element of the sport and the fact you challenge yourself whilst also competing against others.
“Some of my most enjoyable courses I’ve played include Monte Rei in Portugal , Pebble Beach Ocean course and Royal Westmoreland in Barbados.
“Having moved down to Devon I’m now getting to know the courses in the region. After a day in the office it’s great to get out to play a few holes in idyllic surroundings.”
