GOLF TRAVEL

Ask any true golf fan what they will be doing during the first full week in April and the answer will always be the same: Watching the Masters.

But if you’ve grown tired of the early wake-ups, the theme music and the clichés provided by the telecast, perhaps it’s time to experience the tournament for yourself.

The Fanatics, which has been running sports tours since 1997, can guarantee entry through the gates of Augusta National and understands and respects the traditions of the illustrious club.

Masters tours with the Fanatics include: Accommodation at hotels within walking distance of Augusta, Masters badges, transfers to and from the course and the services of the company’s highly-experienced guides.

There are a number of packages currently available for the 2019 Masters – which range from two nights and one day at the Masters (starting at US$1,990), right through to ninenight tours or full-week tournament access.

The nine-night tour, starting at US$8,990, begins in Los Angeles and includes golf at Aviara Resort and Torrey Pines before arriving at Augusta in time to watch the traditional Par-3 Contest. Badges to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are also included.

These packages reflect the knowledge that watching the world’s best players grace the fairways of Augusta is the trip of a lifetime for every golf fan. Every detail has been taken care of to ensure every guest’s Masters dream comes true.
