9/22/2009 - New Partnerships Provide Addtional Services
For nearly 20 years Fairways Golf Vacations and now our new site, GolfThere.com have been providing one-stop, hassle-free golf vacation planning. Our highly trained staff of golf vacation specialists are ready to assist you in the perfect personalization of your golf vacation package with friendly and courteous customer service.
All of our golf packages are designed to be fully inclusive. Every package we book includes a shared riding cart, guaranteed advance tee times up to one year in advance, accommodations that range from economical but branded hotels to luxurious five-star resorts and even private homes and condominiums. As part of our ongoing commitment to improve our fully inclusive planning experience, we have partnered with a several new vendors that will make planning your golf vacation with Fairways Golf even easier.
We recently announced a strategic partnership with the Avis and Budget car rental group that allows us to now package your vacation with car rentals, min-vans or SUV's. Our preferred pricing in the major cities we serve will not only save you money, but the time it takes to make these bookings on your own. And for those guests who typically drive to our destinations, I encourage you to ask your golf specialist for a quote for your drive to one of our fantastic destinations. Not only can we save on wear and tear on your own vehicle, but our offering of large rental vehicles can make your trip even more comfortable.
Travel Guard is the industry leader in providing insurance coverage to the traveling public. We have worked with them to develop a custom protection plan designed for the golf travel market. Exclusive features to our customers include increased coverage for lost or stolen golf clubs, tee time reimbursement for bad weather, and protection from cancellation penalties should you not be able to make your trip due to a death in the family or a business partner. Also, as part of insurance package, you will receive $25,000 in collision damage insurance for your rental car and for those customers that are driving, a road side assistance program should you have trouble on your drive to your destination.
The name FedEx is well known in the golf world with their recent sponsorship of the FedEx Cup. We are pleased to announce a unique partnership that will make traveling so much easier for our customers. Rather than lugging your clubs through airport security or packing them in an overstuffed car, we can now include golf club shipping to either your hotel or first scheduled golf course. And for the return home, no worries either. We can ship the clubs back to your golf club or to your home.
At many or our hotels and resorts we are pleased to include a breakfast to help you get your day started. We now have begun to include other restaurants for you and your group to enjoy either a lunch or dinner. Nationally branded steakhouses will become a value that your group can appreciate after finishing up 18 arduous holes of fun! All the restaurants have been selected based upon overall quality, proximity to golf courses and hotels and have a local flavor to help you experience more of the destination you are visiting.
We now book thousands of couples on golf vacations. How about a SPA treatment for your spouse or yourself after a particularly long day of golfing? Gift certificates are also now available and can be purchased in any denomination from $50 to $5,000 and can be used by an individual as well as groups. We hope that you find these changes as exciting as we do. It is our goal to make your golf vacation planning as easy and seamless as possible. If there is any way that we can assist you, please contact us. If we fail to deliver ultimate customer service, you can reach me directly at alan.hale@fairwaysgolf.com. We look forward to serving you on your next golf vacation.
