When I phoned to discuss making the booking I emphasised the importance of tee times for us and was assured my requirements wouldn't be a problem as bookings were "quiet". In the event my request has not been met on a single day. I have booked numerous golf trips with YGT (using Patrick who has left I understand) over many years but doubt I ever will again

Hi, I have booked this event four times now and every time I have trouble receiving the voucher,I am promised that I would receive it within 2 days but to no avail,after numerous Phone calls I do eventually receive it I organise a golf tournament every year in my late son' memory and we have a raffle prize for a stay at the forest pines golf resort but every time I have to delay the draw because I never receive the voucher on time. I'm also promised I would get it by email so that I can print it off but don't get that either. I regret that I will not be booking end future events with you. Very disappointed Mrs murrey

After increasing our party I received a confirmation email only to be told 2 days later that the times were not available and we would either have to play very early or delay by 2 1/2 hours. When querying this communication from YGT was very poor. Ultimately by phoning the venue direct I was able to resolve the situation. Sending confirmation emails when times have not been booked is very poor practice.

Dear Mr Clark, Thank you for your email. I can see from the booking you have made a reservation at the Hallmark Hotel in Stratford Upon Avon, I apologise if any other confirmation has been sent. I will check this with the sales agent. Regards, Emma

Was quoted, in writing, a certain price for two of the travelling party. Then when I called to pay was told I had been misquoted and the hotel had given wrong price. Think good customer service would have been to pay at quoted price and hotel should have taken the cost of they had misquoted the agent. All seems very odd. Then when confirmation came through the wrong days tee times had been booked. On a positive the the agent on the phone was very helpful and changed the times/days very quickly and was very apologetic about the price mix up Just disappointed that we had a price and then it changed which was a pain having to explain to everyone else in the party that we had to pay an extra £200 from what we were originally told.

I booked and payed for holiday on 18th Jan, was promised tee times would be booked and documentation confirming holiday and payment would be provided in a day or two. Now, 10 days later, after several emails and telephone conversations, still no documentation or receipt, I was under the impression YGT were supposed to be providing a service? Worst service I have experienced from any holiday provider.

Hi John, I'm so sorry to read that you have been disappointed with the service to date. As a general rule we can confirm everything pretty quickly however with our overseas trips this can take longer, particularly in January which is our busiest booking month. Each element of the trip must be confirmed back to us in writing before we send our final tees and confirmations. This is for the protection of both ourselves and you, this way if there are any problems once you get to resort we have the paperwork to clarify with our suppliers. I can see from our booking system that everything has now been confirmed and sent to you however if you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Best wishes and have a lovely trip, Claire.

Only just found out that our booking does not include hold luggage, certainly not the way it was sold to me on the phone saying the quote including "everything" . Now i need to explain to my golfing patterns that our trip is over 10% more expensive. Really disappointed and certainly will be passing these comments on to my friends to be careful about booking with Your gold travel. Its better in life to be honest and open from the beginning rather that having these negative comments that puts a bitter taste in the mouth.

Dear Mr Heath, Thank you for your review online. We appreciate and take into consideration all comments from customers. I have looked into your booking for you with your sales agent and can confirm that on all documentation only cabin baggage and a golf club have been allocated for your booking. As standard we never offer a hold luggage also, this is always an additional cost and set out by the airline. Kindest regards, Emma

YGT are very quick to take your money but when things go wrong there customer service is terrible. Have e mail and have only been fobbed of with you should have done this and done that. Easy said when you are in a different country late on a Sunday afternoon. Have had no satisfaction from customer service and have e mailed Andrew Harding no reply Have used them many times but never again. Use Golfbreaks.com. Mark H.

Suggest you read the fine print when booking with "Your Golf Travel". The showed great attentiveness before the holiday was paid for but then when i had to cancel the travel about 3 weeks later and 3 weeks before the travel date showed no interest in providing any help other than pointing to the fine print of "zero refund". Given their size and scale wouldnt have cost them anything other than admin time to cancel the bookings with the hotel and golf courses and driver. 1000GBP down the drain and a fair result would have been a partial credit towards another golf holiday but they denied that request. I am lucky enough to do a bit of client golf and personal trips and was first time trying this company and will be the last and my advice is read the small print or find someone a little flexible for your golf trip.

Hi Patrick, I'm sorry to hear you had to cancel you holiday at full loss this time. The reason we cannot refund at this stage in the booking process is that we have to pay the venues in full within 28 days of the departure date. It is therefore not possible for us to offer refund. Once again I'm very sorry you have been disappointed on this occasion. Kind regards, Claire.

I went to Manor of Groves because I wanted to play three rounds of golf in a beautiful place. The course is beautiful and so was the weather but in order to play golf you need also the equipment and, as I was traveling from abroad, I did not have with me my golf bag... I have hired a set of clubs from the Caddie Master but they where really awful... They were ridiculous clubs already 20 years ago now they were impossible to use... Irons where half with steel shaft and half with fiber shaft, the putter was unnamed and impossible to use. The driver was a version of a Dunlop driver and it had a steel shaft (I have never seen a steel shaft for a driver). Grips where very old and a few of them had a personalized size which was not good for me... I complained with the caddie master and they offered me to choose my clubs among the ones available... nothing better was available when I was there. I also asked to use some demo but they refused me this option... The reason why I used YourGolfTravel was because I was thinking that they were golf experts and not only rooms dealers...

Rather than book entirely online, without human contact, I phoned Ian Purvis at your HQ, Because I have spoken with him on numerous occasions to book (and he always looked after me well) I gave him my details and asked him if he would deduct my £25 voucher from the final price. (I had to my knowledge downloaded a £25 pound voucher. On close inspection after the fact, I found that the voucher had not downloaded when I requested "get voucher" all I had was details of the Sao Raphael complex . If Ian Purvis had checked while I was on the phone with him, he could have informed me that I had not downloaded the voucher, and I could have went online and rectified the error. When I queried the price, when details were sent to me, I saw that the £25 had not been deducted. I phoned immediately and asked for Ian Purvis, but instead was put onto a female employee who told me that I had not downloaded a voucher, asking for the number. I went to the download site and this is when I found the Sao Raphael details and no voucher. I was told the price would stand,( in other words "tough") I have been using YGT for a number of years, Prior to this booking I would have given a VG rating. I will now have to consider other providers to book my golf trips, Ian McDonald

Dear Ian, Thank you for your review online and for advising us of the issues which you experienced with the voucher which was provided by the sales team. These vouchers must be claimed off your trip at the time of booking, and they cannot be used at a later date. This is stated in the terms and conditions. I do apologise this was not made clearer to you and hope that this does not deter you from re-booking with us in the near future. Kindest regards, Emma

I was disappointed with the booking experience I received from Your Golf Travel. Having used the company a number of times before this was by far the worst experience I have had. Having made an initial enquiry I then had a telephone conversation with Patrick McCaghy who provided a quote for a hotel and golf courses. Then having agreed this, we booked our flights which were escalating in price. However, then Patrick called me back a few days later telling me the hotel was unavailable (why was I given a quote and given the impression that this was available?). I explained that flights had been booked and asked Patrick to look at other hotels but had to continuously chase for a resolution for over a week before we were eventually booked in somewhere (a hotel not up to the same standard as our initial choice). As i'm sure you can appreciate created a lot of uncertainty for myself around the whole holiday and costs that had already been committed to for flights, which was not acceptable. I should also note that I only got a final resolution by contacting Nick Bishop who I have dealt with before and have had very good service from. Once Nick was in the loop, the situation was resolved within the day. Maybe coincidence but maybe evidence of much better customer service.

DISGRACEFUL PRACTICES! Beware if you are a regular customer. A salesman has just bragged to me that he adds £20 per person to any quote he gives to regular clients because if they have bought before they will buy again! I had received a quote from an honest company who I have used before many times. Thought I would ask for a quote from YGT out of interest. I had been quite specific in my quote which resulted in a call asking if I had a quote from another source and how much. I declined to provide that info which did not go down well. The quote arrived by email but was considerably more expensive than the quote I already had. I replied, thanking the salesman for the quote but it was not as good as another quote but we would give then another chance to quote next year. The next morning the extremely aggressive and rude salesman phoned me telling me that there is no way the other company could be anywhere near the quote he gave? Apart from anything else he assumed as we were regular customers of the other company they would be taking advantage of us and adding on fees!!! I asked to speak to his supervisor but was told he was listening in to the call. Despite suggesting I was a liar and time waster (remember he called me) he then asked if I would sign up there and then for a considerably lower quote. NO WAY. I again asked to speak to his supervisor and he just hung up. Incensed I phoned them and spoke to a customer services officer who said she would get a manager to call me back. Still waiting 4 days later.

Dear Mr Dunne, I have noted your review online, and this has been flagged to the sales person who you have been speaking with, as well as customer services. We would like to advise you that it is your prerogative as to how you choose to deal with the matters discussed above, but you may also choose to contact the hotel directly also for a response. Kindest regards, Emma

Room wasn't ready when we arrived, when we got to the room it was filthy, mildew in the shower, stains on the pillows, something really nasty on the toilet seat, A/C fan full of dust. Staff not interested, I am attempting to get a full refund. Both golf courses poorly maintained, bunkers compacted or completely full of stones, fairways patchy and very poorly cut. This place purports to be a country club! Didn't use the spa or pool as we wanted to leave without experiencing this disappointment. Received an offer of 25% discount on return stay...... I wouldn't return if you paid me!

Invited to review my booking, but have I made a booking or not, I just don't know? Enquired about a package for 6 in Portugal, got limited answers to my questions, please remember who the customer is! When a question is asked, an answer is required. It's a buyers market and I'm booking on behalf of a group so there is a responsibility on me to do it properly for them. Finally chose a package offered, confirmed with rep via email and even received a confirmatory email looking forward to payment. When contacted by phone to simply pay, rep admitted to having got it all wrong and I'd have to choose alternative courses for up to £60+ more per person. I've been left in that position. Flights are booked but no package. I think YGT need to honour the original package as there was 'offer, consideration and agreement' on both sides. Extremely poor service and I feel very let down at this stage. I look forward to YGT getting in touch to sort this out. Time is of the essence! John Douglas
