Why Every Pro Needs a Trusted Golf Travel Partner
When members at your club need advice about golf, they turn to you—their PGA Professional. From equipment recommendations to instruction and even where to play their next bucket-list round, you’re their go-to expert.
But when it comes to golf travel, it’s not always as straightforward. Unlike equipment or other products, travel often requires firsthand experience that many Pros may not have. A poor recommendation could reflect negatively on you, and so many Pros hesitate to endorse a travel company they don’t fully know.
That’s where having a trusted partner makes all the difference. Whether you’re actively traveling with your members or simply guiding them toward their next journey, working with a team you trust ensures your members are in the best hands possible—and it benefits you too.
Why a Trusted Partner Matters
- Your Reputation is on the Line: Members look to you for advice on all things golf, including travel. Recommending a travel partner who delivers a first-class experience reflects well on you and your club, while a poor experience can do the opposite.
- Your Members Need Guidance, Even if You’re Not Traveling: Some Pros prefer not to organize or join member trips, but that doesn't stop the travel related questions from coming their way. You can still benefit from referring members to a trusted partner, knowing they’ll have a trip that exceeds their expectations.
- Peace of Mind: With H&B, you can rest assured that your members will receive exceptional service from a team that understands their needs. Our entire Planning team is made up of current or former PGA Professionals. No one understands the expectations of private club members better than we do.

"When we do a club fitting for our members, we don't give them a brand that they've never heard of or that we don't believe in. We say... 'We trust this product to put it in your hands.' To me, when you talk about golf travel, why would anyone ever do it on their own or go with a company who does not have a proven track record of delivering excellence? Pick up the phone, call a professional. Call a brand that you know and trust––and for me, that would be Haversham & Baker. Every time."
