Testimonials
Global Golf Tours is our go to agency for golf and all other of our travel needs. I am about to go to Scotland for my third trip with Global Golf this spring. Jim is unique in his ability to get us on "name courses" as well as the "hidden gems" (which are actually more fun in many cases).
Our trips have always been highlighted by Jim's local knowledge and being able to feel we belong. You have to try the "sticky bun" at Dunvengan's in St. Andrews. Trust me.

I’ve been on two golf trips with Jim McAleese and Global Golf Tours. They both were exceptional. The air transport, hotel accommodations and dining were all excellent. The golf was much more than I ever expected. We played Open courses and the “hidden gems”. Some of my favorites were the hidden gems. North Berwick and Castle Stuart were my two favorites. If you ever get the opportunity to experience one of these tours you will never forget it. If you’re a golfer this is a must.

This was what I always dreamed a golf trip to Scotland would be. The host (Jim McAleese) is a single digit golfer, Scottish born and American bred he speaks their language, literally. He knows the country in and out from his family connections over the years. We played a mix of well-known courses and hidden gems. He anticipated every contingency and the trip was as smooth as could be. Highly recommended.

Jim and his staff put together a golf trip to Scotland for our group that greatly exceeded our expectations. The planning work that Jim provided was top notch. His knowledge of the golf courses as well as the local hotels and dining venues, especially at St. Andrews was impressive.
He made the trip logistics seamless for us while adding his own special insights about the local communities we visited. All made for trip memories that will last a lifetime.

Jim has coordinated amazing golf excursions for our group to Scotland, Pebble Beach and an upcoming trip this summer to Ireland. Jim is thoroughly professional in every aspect from planning, to scheduling flights, golf, lodging, dinning, and driving (if you wish). His 40+ years in the travel industry coupled with his connections in the golf world would be hard to match. If you are looking for a bucket list quality excursion, Jim is your man.

Global Golf Tours ("GGT") was recommended to me. Since then I have had the pleasure of working with Global Golf Tours ("GGT") founder, Jim McAleese, on two international golf trips and one within the US. Before GGT I traveled to Ireland many times with other firms or doing it myself. Since experiencing GGT two years ago, I haven't considered using anyone else; they are planning this year's trip to Ireland!
Testimonial
The difference is in execution and outstanding service. The team at Global Golf Tours listens to the goals and desires of each golfer/non-golfer to build an itinerary that works for everyone on the trip. They also bring up questions the travelers and other travel agencies may not, in order to flesh-out what is important ranging from desired tee times to how many hotels to type of city/town to stay in. And they offer alternatives in a "what do you think of this?" style rather than "here's what we do" that I've encountered elsewhere. I have full confidence that GGT will meet and exceed your expectations for a great golf travel experience.

Having taken 2 Golf trips organized and led by Jim McAleese I highly recommend this experience. Each of my trips to Scotland were for 8 days and 10 rounds of golf. Each trip was well organized with an itinerary that resulted in no delays or disappointments. Each course we played had reserved tee times prepaid and the only thing I had to do was pay for a caddie or pull cart. Great experience and Jim's local knowledge really adds to an outstanding golf trip.

I really believe you were a major part in making this so enjoyable. I don't think I have ever engaged with someone in the travel industry that gave their heart and soul as much as you do. You always made yourself available and did a great job of anticipating requests and exceeding them. Getting us all on the Old Course ( I truly believe you provided more than luck) meant everything. Our trip to the St Andrew's club was amazing. You really did roll out the red carpet for us.
