GETAWAYS: GOLF TRAVEL
Augusta National and Pinehurst are, without question, two of the most prestigious names in world golf. Here’s your chance to visit both and walk in the footsteps of champions.
Teed Up Golf Tours – an Australian company that has offered global golf tours for 20 years – has constructed three exceptional Masters packages; two of which include an unforgettable round at the iconic Pinehurst No.2.
The heart of Pinehurst Resort, Pinehurst No.2 is regarded as Donald Ross’ masterpiece and has hosted more single golf championships than any other course in the world. It was recently restored by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw to recapture the natural and strategic characteristics that were the essence of the original design.
The Masters, meanwhile, is one of the world’s most celebrated sporting events … Gaining access to the 84th edition of the tournament – which will be defended by five-time champion Tiger Woods – could prove harder than ever. Luckily, Teed Up has taken care of this with its 2020 Masters packages.
The 10-night “Luxury Golf & Green Jacket Tour” starts from US$9,130 and features four- and five-star accommodation, transfers, Sunday at the Masters, your own Teed Up host and rounds of golf at Pinehurst, Kiawah Island Golf Resort and Sage Valley Golf Club.
The eight-night “Self-Drive Golf & Green Jacket Tour”, meanwhile, starts from US$5,820 and offers more flexibility for those who would rather travel independently. Not all of the aforementioned is included – such as golf at Sage Valley – but most of it can be added on.
Finally, if you’re looking to spend the majority of your time at Augusta National, the “Masters Week Tour” starts from US$12,550 and includes badges for Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, as well as two games of golf.
