How It Works
We do not sell preset packages. Every EMC Golf journey is designed around your group, and it begins with a conversation. Here is what happens between the first message and the first tee, and what we ask of you along the way.
1. The First Conversation
Tell us who is travelling, when you would like to go, and what kind of golf you want to play. Firm dates and a firm number of players matter most at this stage. Adding or removing players, or moving dates, once planning is under way means starting parts of the trip again, and the best tee times rarely wait.
We also agree early on how we will stay in touch, whether by text, email or phone, and who will speak for the group. That person confirms every booking before we make it.
2. The Proposal
We then design the journey and send you a written proposal: the courses, the order you play them in, where you stay, how you move between them and where you eat. It includes an indicative budget range for the whole trip, based on the best information available at the time. Because we often book many months ahead, prices can move, and we will tell you when they do.
3. Booking in Stages
Booking is rarely a single step. We secure the most sought after tee times first, then accommodation, then the rest of the trip. Courses open their tee sheets at different times, so this unfolds over weeks or months.
Nothing is booked without confirmation from your group lead. At times a course will hold a tee time for only a few hours, so a prompt reply can be the difference between the time you wanted and the one that is left.
4. On the Road
Before you leave, you receive a final itinerary with every confirmation in one place. Self guided travellers can reach us throughout the trip. Hosted groups travel with us, and the details are handled quietly in the background.
How EMC Golf Is Paid
The budget range in your proposal covers the whole journey, and it includes our planning fee. There is one number to plan around, not a list of charges to add up.
Your group lead approves that range before anything is booked, and we work within it. If the trip moves outside the range, whether through a price change at a course or a change in your plans, we stop and seek your approval before going any further.
When to Start
We plan premium golf journeys, and they take time to build. Demand for tee times is higher than we have ever seen. Overseas destinations such as Scotland often need 12 to 18 months of planning, and trips closer to home now need 9 to 12 months. More time always makes for a better trip, and starting late risks losing the tee times or routing you want. Shorter notice is still possible, but it may mean some compromise.
