Our team was delighted to attend a pre-fam trip from May 15-18,  the IAGTO Golf Competition on Monday, May 19 and the 3rd edition of the European Convention held May 20-21, reuniting a total of 800 golf tour operators and suppliers across all 5 continents. We’ve spent a wonderful week here in Maspalomas Gran Canaria connecting with our preferred and new suppliers, learning about new golf courses, hotels, and upcoming golf destinations across Europe.

Our fam trip (we were in Group B 🎉) was extraordinary from start to finish, playing immaculate golf courses, exploring and dining in Gran Canaria most authentic and charming places. We were lucky to play 4 of the best golf courses on the island during the fam trip and competition:

• Maspalomas GC

• Meloneras GC

• Salobre GC

• Anfi Tauro GC

…followed by an extra round at the oldest golf course in Spain, Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas, dating back to 1891.

We also got the chance to explore off-the-beaten path and adventured in the traditional fishing village of Port Mogán, we visited the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve, and we discovered the Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria UNESCO World Heritage Site, followed by a nice and fresh evening at an elevated winery. We played the IAGTO golf competition at Anfi Tauro, definitely the most scenic and challenging course on the island, a masterpiece designed by Von Hagge in 2006.

Overall, we had a total of 56 formal and informal meetings during the packed-convention and we simply can’t wait to explore these new opportunities to elevate our portfolio of services. New destinations on the horizon include the Canary Islands (Spain), Madeira (Portugal), Austria, Denmark, Finland and potentially, Sweden where quality golf courses can be found in this part of Europe.

Lastly, CHASEGOLF was rewarded with a magnum of Canard Duchene (shared with our old and new friends during the final cocktail party), for our efforts promoting France as a golf destination.

A huge thank you to Peter Walton and the IAGTO team for organizing such a fantastic and flawless event – our team is grateful to be part of such a professional reputed organization and we look forward to joining several other fam trips and conventions in the future, starting with the one in Northern Ireland later this year in October.

Following the IAGTO IEC in Gran Canaria, we took a short 45-minute flight and landed in Fuerteventura for a week of golf and adventure in the southern part of this wild volcanic island.

While we are actively planning several golf trips throughout Europe this summer and in the fall, we played a round at Jandia GC, we bathed at one of the most gorgeous sand bars in Europe, we visited the Natural Parque de Jandia, and  explored Playa de Cofete on an off-road trip, we rode on camels, we explored the Ajuy caves and lastly, we sailed around the southern tip of Moro Jable.

We are excited to share that we’ve received 3 reviews from our consulting sessions and trip planning services.

“Fanny, you are such a pleasure to work with and I am really glad we found you. We’ve learned that they are so many details that are best arranged by a travel professional! Moving forward, we would like you to book our next trip! We will also pass your information along to Lenny’s former co-worker, Dina. They love golf and they love to travel, and since they both retired, we think they would love to explore one of your trips!” – Penny.B

“Fanny, our trip to Normandy, France was great and we had the best time! The golf was fantastic (I liked them all – Dinard, Granville, Deauville, Etretat, and Chantilly), beautiful, spacious, challenging and fun, no crowds, welcoming. We enjoyed lots of seafood, having oysters and seafood towers daily and lots more”. Marie.G
