Welcome to the 14th edition of our newsletter!
This edition takes you with us across three corners of Europe, starting in the rolling hills of Maremma, Tuscany, where we traded our usual itinerary for charming hilltop villages, gourmet food, wine tastings, and a few unforgettable rounds of golf, all in the name of building exceptional, immersive journeys for our clients in one of Italy's most romantic regions. From there, we headed to Malaga, Spain, for the IAGTO European Convention, marking our 3rd consecutive year representing CHASEGOLF Travel among the key players shaping our industry, old friends reconnected, new partnerships formed, and plenty of memories made on and off the fairways.
But we're not slowing down…Behind the scenes, we're already deep into crafting new journeys across England, the Netherlands, and France, itineraries currently taking shape that we can't wait to share more about in the issues ahead.
As always, thank you for being part of the CHASEGOLF Travel story. Life with golf is a life well lived and this issue is proof of just how far that philosophy can take us.

| | Fam trips, IAGTO European convention and family time …CHASEGOLF is on the move ⛳️ |
|
| Our team just returned from a month-long trip to Europe covering several emerging golf destinations in Europe.
We first headed to Italy and experienced a one-of-a-kind familiarization golf trip in the Maremma region, the hidden gem of Tuscany. This part of Tuscany is ideally situated within reasonable driving distance from Rome Airport, and boasts some of the best golf courses in the country. And no doubt, some of the best landscapes, food and wines in Europe. We started our trip at Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort, Autograph Collection with a curated gourmet meal at their fine dining restaurant and a round of golf with sunshine the next day. Check-out those pictures!!! Such a wow moment and what a great start to the trip It was 🤩.
Next, we headed to the wonderful Terme di Saturnia where we enjoyed the seaweed plancton thermal pool and incredible Tuscan food with some of the best people in the industry.
We also got lucky to play a round at La Bagnaia, which was one of the highlights of the trip before heading to Il Pelagone Hotel & Golf Resort, the home of the amazing Andrea Ruggeri, the passionate force behind the development of Italy as a golf destination. We had an amazing round of golf with delicious traditional cuisine along with winery visits, cocktails with sunset at the pretty yacht club overlooking Elba and Monte Cristo islands.
Lastly, we played a fantastic round of golf with Paolo Negroni (the owner) at the amazing Golf Club Riva Toscana and stayed at their boutique hotel and spa overlooking the entire bay.
The Maremma region was such a surprise for us and we can absolute confirm this region has everything it takes to welcome some of the best avid golfers on the planet…golf, food, wine, spa but most importantly, wonderful hosts who have a passion for their land, their people and their traditions. This region is well-known for their slogan “slow travel here”, which perfectly reflect our experience. This is truly the most rural, authentic, and charming region that is yet under-the-radar and kept secret from mass tourism.
If you are interested in a golf trip to Italy, our team has traveled extensively through all the regions of the country, we have experienced the properties firsthand and created the very best relationships on the ground to organize the most memorable trips in this part of Europe. Let us know, we’d be happy to hear from you.
Pictures can’t really do any justice but we share a glimpse of the experience awaiting golfers here.

| | | | | Another successful IAGTO European Convention in the books! |
|
| Following our fam trip to Maremma, Tuscany, we flew directly from Rome to Malaga to attend the IAGTO European Convention from May 18-20, our 3rd attendance to this fabulous event reuniting more than 983 delegates from 54 countries.
The week started with the golf tournament at Baviera Golf where we made new friends and created lasting memories with our team mates. Later, we gathered with old and new friends at the welcome drinks reception held at the gorgeous Kaleido Malaga Port. The convention was a great success and we successfully enjoyed 80+ formal and informal discussions over the meeting days.

Lastly, the gala dinner was held at the Sohrlin Andalucia in Malaga city center where we witnessed a fantastic dance performance and continued on dancing the night away. HUGE thanks to the entire IAGTO team, Peter Walton, Callum Endicott, Josh Witts, Sharon Wingrove, for organizing such a smooth, engaging and entertaining event in Malaga; we can’t wait to attend next year’s edition in Alicante, Spain 🇪🇸 |

| | A fabulous visit at La Hacienda Links, Southern Spain |
|
| | Following the IAGTO Convention in Malaga, we also played 18 holes at the amazing La Hacienda Links in La Alcaidesa near the rock of Gibraltar, followed by a stay at the newly opened Fairmont La Hacienda Costa del Sol. It was not only among our best experiences in Spain, but also the absolute BEST views a golf course can have. |

| We share here the comment we left to our industry friends, Ana Berbel and Fernando Padron.
“ La Hacienda Links Course truly deserves its reputation as one of the very best golf courses in Spain - and without a doubt, it has the best view in all of Spain. The course routing is phenomenal and the conditions were truly impeccable. Everything was in excellent shape, the greens played firm and fast and the layout was one of the best we've experienced. HUGE congratulations to the entire golf crew for keeping-up such an amazing course perfectly manicured.

England: Earlier this year, we designed an epic golf trip to the London heathland courses and South East England playing some of the top courses in the UK but we were recently chosen to design another trip to England; this time in the South West, this coming July.
This itinerary includes rounds of golf in Cornwall and Devon counties, and will take our clients to the following courses:
On this trip, they will also experience The Headland Hotel in Newquay, and the Gidleigh Park Hotel, a magnificent Relais et Châteaux property set in the Dartmoor National Park. As for sightseeing, we have scheduled leisure time in Newquay and Clovelly Village along with restaurant suggestions, and a special day with a chauffeur-expert guide in Exeter. Alongside the trip, we have started crafting our internal restaurant guide for the UK.
Oh, and if you are curious about why we love this area so much at CHASEGOLF, It’s because It reminds us moments like this one! ❤️ |

The Netherlands: We are currently planning a trip to the Netherlands during the 2026 Solheim Cup taking place at Bernardus GC. Our clients will spend a week in Southern Holland and attend the 3 days of competition with special access to the Brabant Pavilion and they will also enjoy private day trips to Antwerp in Belgium, Utrecht, and Amsterdam with a special day trip to Zaanse Schams, Volendam, and Edam area. Along side, we have also scheduled an exciting private evening cruise on the canals, entrance tickets to the Anne Frank House and a tour of the Vincent Van Gogh Museum. The best of the best??? They will stay at our preferred boutique hotel in Amsterdam…and yes, we can all be jealous of this! |

Other thrilling golf trips being currently crafted include an amazing leisure trip throughout France, an epic adventure starting in The Loire Valley playing at Les Bordes GC (yes, they are very lucky) and heading to the Netherlands for 4 avid golfers, and another trip to England playing the top courses near London and SE England for a small group of friends. |
