In partnership with 1st Tee Treks
Golf development holidays, with a PGA coach all week.
Five nights away, four golf days, and a development session before every round. Cyprus, Portugal, Spain, Greece and Morocco across 2026 and 2027, run on the ground by Ben and Loretta Christey-Clover and booked with us.
What it is
Coaching built into the golf, not bolted onto it.
A golf development holiday is five nights away with four golf days, and a PGA professional with you through all of it. Before you play there is a session on the part of your game that will help you most that day. Then you take it straight onto the course. Masterclasses through the week fill in the rest, and by Friday you understand your own game better rather than just having had a nice week in the sun.
It suits golfers who already play and want to get better, whatever the handicap. You do not need to arrive at a standard. Some guests come as a couple or with friends, plenty come on their own, and the group is small enough that nobody stays a stranger past the first evening.

How a golf day works
Learn it, test it, take it onto the course.
Work on one thing
The morning session targets the part of your game that will make the biggest difference that day, not a full swing rebuild you cannot hold onto.
Play it straight away
You go out on the course the same day with the buggy, so the session is still fresh and you find out what actually holds up under a card.
Talk it through
Masterclasses across the week cover strategy, the short game and decision making, then the evening turns into dinner, drinks and everyone’s version of the same hole.
