Personal golfing holiday as a solo traveller
As a 62-year-old woman travelling alone for the first time in over 30 years, I was naturally a little nervous about organising a 4-week golf holiday through Italy from Perth, Western Australia. However, Golf in Italy made the entire experience absolutely outstanding from start to finish.
One of the biggest advantages was being able to create my own personalised holiday directly through Golf in Italy, which allowed me to avoid the extra costs often added by Australian tour companies acting as middlemen. Danielle, the owner, was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the planning process. We exchanged emails for over a month while discussing ideas, destinations, golf courses, and experiences that would suit me best. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Danielle also suggested several extra activities, including wine tasting and a food market tour, both of which turned out to be absolute highlights of my trip. Once the itinerary was finalised, Serena took over and organised everything perfectly — hotels, breakfasts, train tickets, transfers, and golf bookings.
Every train ticket between cities was pre-booked, and the hotels were always conveniently located close to the train stations, which made arriving in unfamiliar cities stress-free. The hotels themselves were excellent, and the breakfasts each morning were sensational.
The transfers were fantastic — always punctual, professional, and very friendly. I enjoyed chatting with the drivers and even learning a little English together along the way.
I originally booked 10 rounds of golf but ended up playing 12, and Serena quickly organised the additional games and transfers without any hassle at all.
Throughout the entire holiday, not once did I experience any issues with the organisation or arrangements. Everything ran smoothly and professionally, which gave me enormous confidence as a solo traveller.
I would highly recommend Golf in Italy to anyone considering a golf holiday in Italy, especially solo travellers. Their patience, attention to detail, organisation, and genuine care ensured my holiday became an unforgettable experience that I will treasure forever.
