In an era when post-Covid tourism is booming, the sheer amount of travel-related information overwhelms many would-be travellers. From destination research to selecting airlines, travel insurance, accommodation and even choosing a rental car, the myriad choices can quickly become daunting. Balancing these important decisions amid daily routines, work commitments and social engagements leaves little time for perfecting your trip, which underscores the invaluable role of travel companies. Here is a selection of those companies doing it best.

Voyages.golf

A rising star in Australian golf travel, Voyages.golf was originally established as Events Travel by Glenn and Gayle Hedley in 1993. The company expanded its horizons in 2018 by creating a golf-centric division. Now run by their son, Harry, this family-operated venture goes from strength-to-strength, built on a wealth of intergenerational industry expertise.

 Situated on the Mornington Peninsula, just an hour from Melbourne’s renowned Sandbelt region, Voyages.golf stands out by offering a comprehensive and intriguing product range. The company has recently completed some exceptional trips, such as a Tasmanian golf cruise, luxury Hawaiian golf tours, South Africa safaris, Augusta tours, and trips to the Open Championship. Notably, they hold the exclusive designation as the sole authorised provider for the R&A in Australia, facilitating play-golf experiences at the 152nd Open in Scotland and the 153rd Open in Ireland.

“International golf travel is flourishing, and interest in all our products continues to grow,” Harry Hedley says. “We know that co-ordinating a golf trip with friends and family can be likened to herding cats. This is where companies like ours step in. With intergenerational connections, we organise seamless trips, events and tournaments.” Voyages.golf leverages its extensive worldwide relationships to craft personalised trips, offering a streamlined approach in a very dynamic market. “We’ve spent decades building our relationships with suppliers; now we are so excited to be delivering that in the form of custom trips, major golf events and refined escorted tours,” Hedley adds. “The most challenging part in booking a trip is getting everyone to agree on a preferred departure date.”
