What Golfholidays.com does

Golfholidays.com is a UK-based online travel agency that retails tailor-made golf holiday packages and standalone tee-time bookings to 30+ global destinations. The business is operated as a trading brand of Digital Sports Rights LTD (UK private limited company, no. 06788188), a Colchester-headquartered group whose portfolio also includes Leisure Link Golf Holidays, Golf Amigos and Simply Tee Times; Golfholidays.com is the newest brand in the family, established in May 2018, while the wider group draws on more than 30 years of category experience in selling golf travel.

The technology layer is the proprietary IGATO platform, which is shared across all four sister brands and supports a custom-built online configurator that produces per-person package pricing from c. £117 to £3,395+. Booking flows are direct-to-consumer and quote-driven: customers self-serve on the website and are then supported by phone- and email-based inside-sales agents who are described as keen golfers with first-hand destination experience. The group is a member of Protected Trust Services (PTS), which provides 100% financial protection for customer bookings.

The business model is a classic high-touch, package-based tour-operator model monetised on the spread between published package price and underlying supplier cost (courses, hotels, transfers, flights). Customer segments are UK leisure golfers, families, affluent travellers, and the PGA-professional and amateur-society channel accessed via the Essex PGA sponsorship and Pro-Am format. There is no disclosed enterprise, B2B trade or wholesale channel of material scale, and there are no public financials, funding rounds or headcount disclosures.

Revenue model

1. Tailor-made golf holiday packages: Core revenue comes from booking tailor-made golf holiday packages that bundle accommodation, tee times, transfers and sometimes flights. Package pricing is published per-person (e.g., from £365pp at Amendoeira, from £669pp at Titanic Deluxe Belek, from £365pp at Westin Costa Navarino, from £385pp at Korineum). Customers typically enquire then receive a personalised quotation.
2. Tee time bookings: Standalone tee-time booking service at courses worldwide (e.g., Yas Links, Costa Navarino Dunes/Bay, Doha Golf Club, Innisbrook courses, Trump Doral courses) leveraging existing supplier relationships from sister brands.

Core offering

Golfholidays.com is an online golf tour operator that sells tailor-made golf holiday packages combining hotel accommodation, rounds of golf, transfers and sometimes flights, together with standalone tee-time bookings at courses worldwide. Customers browse destinations, hotels and courses on the website, configure a package (destination, hotel, nights, rounds, tee-time slots) and submit an enquiry; in-house golf-playing staff then deliver a bespoke quotation and book the trip. The company covers the UK & Ireland, Europe and worldwide destinations and protects all customer bookings via membership of Protected Trust Services (PTS).

Product overview

Golfholidays.com operates a single unified consumer-facing online platform for booking tailor-made golf holidays and tee times worldwide, rather than a multi-module product suite. The platform is the latest addition to a family of golf tour operator brands owned by Digital Sports Rights LTD, alongside the sister brands Leisure Link Golf Holidays, Golf Amigos and Simply Tee Times, whose existing hotel and golf course relationships provide the inventory for Golfholidays.com's bespoke packages and tee time offerings. Core service lines include tailor-made package golf holidays (combining accommodation and rounds at selected courses) and standalone tee time bookings, supported by an editorial Golf Holidays Blog for news, destination guides and feature announcements.
