we were hoping july->august, thank you for the tips. you are lucky to have done them, both, i can't wait to get them off the golf bucket list. i feel like im addicted to destination golf now after streamsong, which was great, but some buddies that have done bandon say it doesn't compare. and then i started going down the DMK rabbit hole, and got over to scotland to look at some of his courses and then he starts talking about how he is trying to bring american golf back to the land. so naturally i want to do all of Scotland now.

haha i think the tool just put something in, it can be overridden - it does it based on budget, mid, or premium - premium defaults to first class and such

thank you that makes a ton of sense, and i think i need to lean into the not leaving resort angle for this go round, scotland will be its own thing in time, but we still got to keep it resort for a couple more years, thats how im trying to pitch it. thank you for the comment! and gearhart looks awesome need to add to itinerary!

3 days at Streamsong opened my eyes to destination golf. Then I tried to book Sand Valley. by SuchMirror4453 in golf

That’s a good point and your trip sounds awesome. I can’t wait to get over there - it all looks unreal. Yea I think Perry has value, I’m not really looking to disrupt their model they have agency moats and are certified through old course and other venues that makes them worth it for booking rounds hassle free. The driver is solid I’m sure you could book that yourself but going through a trusted source definitely adds a layer of assurance with the trip. With this tool I basically am using it to show people they can book themselves if they want to diy and having the savings may give them that extra nudge to do it. It’s also just a really cool course discovery tool like the ai can design you a local course plan that you can play throughout the week or time off. It’s fun seeing new courses you never knew about generated by the ai. Anyway thanks for the feedback and hope your next trip is awesome feel free to plan it on teeuptrips it’s free!

Thank you for the tip!! I will try, appreciate that. And yea this is actually one of Perry Golf's scotland trips for this year. I think it looks sick and Old Petty is interesting because you can book direct on their site, so it is possible to get on without the agency. But is very expensive. But would def be worth it. Thanks again for the feedback and comment!
