"Hi Toby, This time you all have exceeded our expectations. The 4* Silver Hotel in Salou is a superb Hotel, very freindly and helpful staff, food exellent, situated superbly in easy walking distance into Salou or to take the train to Barcelona etc. We decided to have the transport provided this time and this was to be a great success on time each time and very comfortable. |
||
| Stuart Thompson - 9th Oct 2006 | ||
"Good Morning Jackie, Just to let you know what a great time the 12 Ganstead Party had once again. 4* Silver Hotel in Salou, service was superb, food excellent, transfers from airport and to all the golf courses was also excellent.
Other guests in the hotel who played golf in the Costa Dorada were impressed with the deal so I passed your name on, 2 members of our party were from down South and said it was the best golfing holiday they have been on. |
||
| Brian Murray - 29th Sept 2006 | ||
"Dear Jackie & Toby, Just back from our golf holiday in the Algarve, Portugal and thought that I would drop you a note to say thanks for yet another superb holiday. From the minute we arrived all of our transfers were spot on time with the addition of very friendly staff who not only advised us about the golf but directed us to some of the best places to eat and drink in town. The hotel in Vilamoura was also excellent and well placed for the beach and town. We have already started saving for our next holiday and will definately be in touch with you when this comes around. Thank you all once again for making this a memorable holiday. Best regards, Brian." |
||
| Fred Milne - 1st July 2006 | ||
| "Just to let you know we had a lovely holiday at the Villa in L'Estartit, the golf courses were excellent and the staff very helpful. The location was excellent and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The car rental from Europcar was very good as were your maps. Thanks again for your help." | ||
Steve Whatson, Director for Infomatrix Limited - 5th June 2006 |
||
"After some investigation I spoke to UKSG who were very helpful and suggested the area around Salou. After getting commitments from the rest of the group; 9 flights from Stansted to Reus were booked directly with Ryanair, along with 3 rounds of golf for 8 players and the hotel through UKSG. |
||
| Malcolm Lucas & Stuart Thompson - June 2006 | ||
Hi
Toby, just thought you would like to know that a group of other
Ganstead Golfers have recently been to Salou and
played Bonmont
and Aiguesverds
courses and after we had recommended USKG and the
service. I spoke to them yesterday for the first time since their
return home they were ecstatic about the whole organisation. The
Ganstead Original Twelve are going again on the 1st October
for the third time we just love the Bonmont
and the area! Yours in Golf, Malcolm Lucas & Stuart Thompson |
||
| Miss Heather Cartledge - May 2006 | ||
"Hi
Jackie, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for
arranging such a good trip. The Gualta
course and Jane's instruction were both superb and sited in such
a lovely area. Thanks again - the trip was fun (I just need to go
out and buy clubs and shoes now so I can practice!).
Kind regards, Heather" |
||
| Anders Hamrén-Larsson, Sweden - May 2006 |
||
"Hello
Jackie, Thanks for the golf arrangement last weekend. We really
enjoyed our stay in Catalunya and the golf
at PGA as well as the PGA
hotel. I will contact you next time I will travel. Be sure. |
||
| Neil Mundy & Josephine Morgan - May 2006 | ||
"Dear
Toby, We've just returned from a 6-day break at Fornells with 6 hours of beginners tuition at Gualta. You asked for feedback so here it is. We have nothing but good comments - the organisation was perfect, no problems with car hire, hotel booking etc. The Hotel in Fornells was everything you said it would be, superb service, excellent food and beautiful location. Just what we wanted. The golf tutor, Jane, was as patient as you said she would be (and she needed to be with my errant drives!). I still need to practice off the tee but both of us felt that our short game greatly improved. So very worthwhile. It was also our first visit to this area - we were enchanted with it and will certainly go back. One, hopefully constructive, comment on the directions from Barcelona to Fornells. I think some of the road numbers have changed since these were printed. Out of Barcelona it would be as well to advise travellers to follow signs for the AP2 (lorry route) to Girona. This leads to the AP7. I don't think the A17 exists any more. Also coming off the AP7 at junction 6 the C255 seems to have changed to the C66 (not that this is a problem, as the signs to Palamos are obvious). In summary, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and will almost certainly book again with you. Our needs might be slightly different from standard packages - as I assume you can tailor-make holidays to suit. Best regards, Neil Mundy & Josephine Morgan" |

Dear Sirs, |
||
| Mike Rees - Editor of TEETIMES MAGAZINE - 4th April 2006 | ||
"The choice of 3*
hotel in Estartit proved to be ideal, friendly efficient
and a deceptively good restaurant, the evening meals were very good. |
||
| Angela Darlington, April 2006 | ||
| "Thank you very much! We had a brilliant holiday at Peralada Hotel and Peralada GOlf Course!" | ||
| Wilson Campbell - 3rd April 2006 | ||
| "Just a short note to let you know the holiday was excellent! No problems. Hotel was great , and the courses were first class . We are looking forward to going back in the future. Best wishes for the coming golf season!" | ||
| Gareth Farmer, Wickford Essex - March 2006 | ||
| "The golf course was excellent, I was most impressed. The drive was interesting too, I guess you need to practise a little with the signs within Barcelona itself. Our proper golf tour is off to Tunisia in April this year, but we will definitely check your web site for next year's trip." | ||
| Richard Levy, Hertfordshire Spetmber 2005 | ||
"The
holiday was brilliant, everything went very smoothly. We thought
the courses were very good, with PGA
Catalunya by far the best,, it was exceptional. The Zafira
car
hire you provided us with was absolutely brilliant, we
had no difficulties getting our golf clubs in it. We enjoyed the
town of Platja
D’Aro, but we intend to try Girona
next year." |
||
| Brian Laurence, Carmoustie Eastenders Golf Society (C.E.G.S) 7th April 2005 | ||
"A
huge thanks for organising a tremendous tour. I was a bit worried
as I was organising the holiday on behalf of 16 people, but could
not have asked for more. Golf courses were perfect and we had our
main golf competitions on the 3
renowned courses. The coach went down a treat, a total
saviour the drivers were very reliable. The Barcelona
hotel was ideal as well. Anyway thanks again I will pass
on your details to future organisers if we head to the North of
Spain again." |
||
| D J Anderson, May 2005 | ||
| David & Jackie Turner, 6th August 2005 | ||
"We
have just returned from 4 nights at 4* Hotel
in Pals and we wish to thank you for a lovely relaxing
break. The hotel surpassed our expectations and even though it was
peak season the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the
beautiful pool and the calm atmosphere throughout the building."
|
||
| Malcolm MacPherson, 1st June 2005 | ||
"Your
website is a gem, everything you could possibly want if playing
golf in Barcelona."
|
||
| Trevor Sparkes, 29th May 2005 | ||
"Returned
on Tuesday from another excellent holiday! This 3*
Bronze hotel in Platja
d'Aro was very welcoming and personal service - recommend
to anyone in a first class position. The Costa
Brava Golf courses were in fine condition although Girona
needs some attention. Thanks to all at UKSG for the arrangements carried out with your usual efficiency and personal attention. I have recommended you to several people. Thinking of Valencia region for next year also please send me updated newsletters. Thanks again for everything." |
||
Mr Allen, Derbyshire, 25th May 2005 |
||
"We
have just returned and I am calling to tell you that our stay in
the 4
Star Hotel in Salou
was marvellous. We enjoyed the golf courses specifically Costa
Dorada over Bonmont
as the golf course was a little easier for us. We will definitely
be returning back with UKSG
again." |
||
N Harvey, Northwich, 24th May 2005 |
||
"It
is just a quick call to say how much we enjoyed our golf holiday
and how well organised it was. The weather was excellent, and the
hotel was great. I’ve never been to the Costa
Brava before, but we will definitely be going back again
next spring" |
||
|
||
| Exerpt from letter:
(View

||
Colm Haughey, Secretary, Craigavon Ambulance Golf Society May 2005 |
||
"We
have just returned from our golfing trip. A great time was had by
all, the
Salou hotel was good, the food good, the weather was good,
the golf courses good and the golf itself... well, the less said
about that the better, but it was a blast anyway!" |
||
| Terry Hobday, Map Ltd, Essex, May 2005 | ||
"Everything
about the trip to Madrid
was very good. It’s a golf trip that is completely different
to anything that I have experienced on the Spanish costas. Unlike
the golf courses which are full of Brits, and being pushed around
by the course marshals, we were treated like very special VIP guests.
Ok, only a few people spoke English, but we got by. Royal Sociedad
golf course was excellent with a lovely clubhouse, the South course
was in my opinion better than the North, but both courses were very
good. All in all, the trip was very enjoyable and I would have no
hesitation in recommending it to anybody else who would like to
try something very different to the normal golf holiday." |
||
| Mrs. Gaisman, West Sussex, 29th April 2005 | ||
"I came across UKSG through an editorial
article about Begur
in the Sunday
Times where they mentioned your company. Although
we are not golfers, after speaking to you on the telephone, we
were very impressed with your level of expertise of the Begur
area, and we decided to book with you. We have just returned back
yesterday, and I thought it was only fair that I call you, to
tell you, that we had an absolutely superb time. |
||
| Mr. Derek McCabe, 27th April 2005 | ||
"I
have constantly been pestered by the guys who attended our terrific
outing to Spain last May. I have told them I am more than
happy to make a return visit - if one of them take charge of the
organisation! Can you please send info regarding Golf holidays
for April 2006. Perhaps when they see the brochure one of them
will volunteer to be the co-ordinator! Our trip to Estartit was brilliant in every department, cannot praise UKSG enough. From our Bronze Hotel accommodation to transport, golf and location, absolutely fantastic!" |

| Mrs. Santer, 24th March 2005 | ||
"After
the
Learn to Play Golf weekend I now understand golf theory
and how to put it into practice. Jane (teacher) was very good and
although the course was very intensive there were only four people
in the group so I enjoyed it very much. The 3*
Hotel was very nice and we all had a very enjoyable week.
Thank you UKSG for arrangin the holiday - everything
was perfect!" |
||
| David Small, Sevenoaks, 29th March 2005 | ||
"Just
called to say that we’ve just come home from a Learn
to Play Golf holiday, we’ve never been to the Costa
Brava before, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The 4*
Superior Hotel was wonderful, and on the whole, the holiday
was a great success, me and my wife are thinking of going back again
in September. Jane Fernley, the teaching pro was excellent,
and has got my daughter, who had never played golf before, hitting
3 woods 180 yards by the end of the week! So thanks very much and
I’ll be in touch shortly." |
||
| Malcolm Lucas, February 2005 | ||
"We
played Bonmont
Golf Course in the Costa
Dorada twice in 2004 and in our opinion (the Ganstead
Twelve) we suggest that it is the poor man's Augusta beautifully nurtured by the greenstaff and a joy to play in superb
conditions. We will be coming again in 2005 Oct hopefully with increased
numbers." |
||
| Pete Young, SCI Consultant Adviser/Trainer for Educational Development International - Dec 2004 | ||
"Thanks for your good wishes re our recent golf trip to Barcelona. Please accept my thanks for all your hard work. Our trip was memorable.
The things that worked well: |
||
| Mrs. Campion, Plymouth June 2004 | ||
“I
can honestly say this was the best holiday I have ever had, absolutely
brilliant. The golf courses were beautiful. Costa
Dorada was lovely in great condition as was Panoramica
and we really enjoyed Bonmont
too. The hotel you could not
fault. It was absolutely brilliant. The staff was very friendly,
we were given big suite rooms which were excellent. The food was
100% perfect. I have never seen such a big choice for breakfast
everything there that you would want. We had an all inclusive deal
and couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel in the evening
to eat dinner, it was that good. My husband put on 1/2 stone while
we were there! The hotel was excellently located in the quiet end
of Salou walking distance to the beach and shops and the train station
where we went to Barcelona on our golf free day. The Renault Scenic
car was fab. We were four golfers and easily managed to get our
entire luggage into the vehicle golf clubs and suitcases. We loved
the car so much that we have just come home and bought the same
car, we was that impressed. The whole holiday went like clock work
and we can’t wait to go back. We have told so many friends
about UKSG that expect too receive a few phone calls shortly." |
||
| Mr. O'Sullivan , Bournemouth May 2004 | ||
“I
have just returned back from the Hotel
in Llafranch and wanted to tell you that it was excellent. The
room was very good, the food in the hotel was very good and the
service was excellent. They are a very friendly bunch of people
there. The town of the Llafranch was a very nice little spot, the
local countryside is beautiful. The whole golf holiday pacakge was
very good indeed and i just wanted to let you know." |
||
| Scott Curtis, Huntingdon, Bournemouth Feb 2004 | ||
“Hi
have just returned from a Golf
& spa trip to Peralada. Firstly I would like to highly recommend
the f.f Balneo Great Cloister treatment In the" Gran Claustro"
room. This is mandatory two people, and was by Far the best spa
treatment we have ever experienced, even a surprise Bottle of bubbly
and platter of fresh fruit arrived totally Unexpectedly, to further
enhance our experience. Even beats the Chewton Glen which is world
class, in its self. We will all certainly visit again may be Easter,
or possibly summer season." |
||
| Robert Morris, Huntingdon, Cambridge Jan 2004 | ||
“I
said to my wife that I must call UKSG to tell them about our wonderful
trip. All too often people complain when things go wrong on holiday
and say nothing when things go well. The trip from beginning to
end went perfectly. All the pre-paid vouchers you gave us went so
smoothly. From the Car
to the hotel
and golf
courses, everyone knew UKSG and were very friendly to us. Our
golf
lessons with Vincent the golf pro at Bonmont
Golf were fantastic. Vincent was very patient and an excellent
teacher and really pleasant man. Me and the wife are converted now
and will continue to learn
Golf. The hotel
in Cambrills was excellent with great service and we ate in
some superb
fish restaurants in town. Me and the wife really enjoyed the
whole experience, we were so relaxed when we returned home. UKSG
have organised a superb holiday, Thank you.” |
||
| Cheryl Stansfield – Swansea Jan 2004 | ||
Thank you
for changing our minds and convincing us to spend more money at
stay
at this hotel. Its was really lovely. We were really surprised
just how lovely it was. Its was a very quiet hotel and very Spanish.
The food in the restaurant was very good. The weather for early
January was amazing deep blue skies. We were sitting our most days
for lunch in our tee shirts. Our golf lessons were great. Our pro
was really friendly and very helpful. We loved Bonmont
Golf Course. The whole holiday was really lovely and we just
wanted you say thank you. |
||
| Brandon Prater, Emerging Markets Partnership (Europe) Limited London - Oct 2003 | ||
| I never had the chance to thank you for setting up the golf at PGA Catalunya. It was fantastic. We had a great time and the course, staff, transfer coach, etc were all excellent. Your company did a great job with all of the arrangements.Thanks again. Best regards | ||
| Gwen Williams- Oct 2003 | ||
| "I felt i needed to call to express my gratitude for our golf holiday. Me and my large group of lads tried the Costa Dorada for the very first time. The whole holiday was superbly organised with no glitches. Everyting went clockwork from the moment we boarded the plane until, picking up the car hire, hotel and golf. All very smooth. The lads have had a excellent week and just cannot work out how UKSG can provide such a great holiday at such a low price." | ||

| "We had a fantastic trip to Barcelona and I will be deffinatly recommending UKSG to some of my pals in Limmerick" | ||
| Brian W. Murray Sept 2003 | ||
Toby
and all at UKSG, "I meant to be in touch sooner, but better late than never ! Just a note to say thanks for the recent holiday - everything was absolutely superb from the accommodation to the golf courses. This was a very memorable holiday for us and we would all have absolutely no hesitation in recommending UKSG to any one looking for a Spanish golfing break. Once again, well done and thank you, we are again saving for our next trip and will definitely be in touch." |
||
| Mr. Dorsett | ||
"I feel when I recieve good service I should make my comments
known. The hotel Aiuga Blava in the Costa Brava was absolutely splendid.
We sat on our terrace each morning in wonder at the breath taking
beautiful scenery. The food at the hotel was very good indeed in fact I would say marvelous, one night we had pumpkin and mushroom soup which was so good that I had bought my first ever pumpkin on my return at an attempt to reproduce the same soup. Surfice to say we were that impressed we left the very accommodating staff a hefty tip." |
||
| Tim Galligan, Courage Breweries | ||
| "Every year we take our VIP customers to different golf venues. This year we tried Barcelona and we have to say so far its been the best trip that we have ever done. Everyone has had a fantastic time. Apart from a small problem at Montanya everything was organised perfectly." | ||
|
||
| Roger Bramwell, Essex | ||
“My son and I
have just had the most fantastic holiday we have ever had. We stayed
at the Santa Anna hotel, which was lovely. The holiday had every
component that you could wish for. We got up in the morning and
had breakfast on the roof terrace at the hotel, then we took off
to the golf courses and played 18 holes, we were stunned by the
beauty of the courses as we have never played on courses of this
quality before. Afterwards we had a beer and a sandwich in the club
house, we then went back to the L' Estartit and went to the beach
for an hour, then a little shopping in the town. Once rested we
went to the excellant par 3 Gualta golf course, me and my son stayed
untill darkness each day having a putting competition. Finally went
back into town had dinner and flopped into bed. Once again its been
an excellantly organised holiday and we will be recommending UKSG
to all my family and friends and will be returning next year for
another holiday.” |

| Dennis Burrows, Captain Shrewsbury Golf Club | ||
"We had an excellent
holiday. I was really taken back by the marvelous golf courses.
They were all excellent; they will really take some beating. The
Hotel was nice and our rooms were good. We had great weather for
the week and the food was excellent. The trip was a total success." |

| Chris Howgate, Surrey, Wandgas’ Golf Society Organiser | ||
“The pictures
of the hotel on your web site did not really do the hotel justice;
we thought the accommodation was just right for a golf holiday,
good atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, great location right in
the middle of the town, good food, relaxed and sensible. The golf
courses were all very different and very enjoyable. The biggest
surprise of the week was Girona Golf Course where it was supposed
to be the weakest course of the bunch but I thought some of the
views and the balcony at the clubhouse were fantastic! We all enjoyed
the Tapa’s resturant on our final Gala dinner night. Good
wine and a constant flow of tapas, only working out to about £15
a head. The week was definitely a great success” |
||
| Tony Skinner, Surrey | ||
“It was an ideal
golf holiday, better then what I expected, just right for what a
golfer wants. I thought all the golf courses were good, I liked
the fact all the golf clubs were nice to you & good value, which
is a contrast to some of the courses I have played down in the south
of Spain. Some of my friends have just got back from a golf holiday
in the south of Spain and they were complaining about jammed courses
and very high green fees. Three out of the four courses we played
were very quiet, it seemed like we had the whole course to ourselves.
The town of L’Estartit was great fun, I really liked that
you can walk out of the hotel and walk to restaurants, bars and
shops, that’s important, as I once had a golf holiday in Villiamora,
Portugal where I was stuck in 4 star hotel in the middle of nowhere.
The hotel had no atmosphere and there was nothing to do. The holiday
was great fun, I would recommend golfer’s sample your golf
holiday to the Costa Brava, I think they would be pleasantly surprised!” |
