Company Profile Founded in 1998 by Chief Executive Andrew Stanley, Golfbreaks has grown into a global golf travel business with offices in the UK, US and Scandinavia. We organise an extensive range of golf breaks, holidays and tournament experiences and have sent more than 3 million golfers to over 2,500 resorts and golf courses worldwide.

With over 25 years’ experience, we are the world’s number one rated golf tour operator, with more than 100,000 five-star reviews. Our international reach combines local market knowledge with golf travel expertise, enabling us to deliver outstanding choice, value and service to golfers across the world. In the UK, customers also benefit from the reassurance and security of booking with a fully bonded travel company through both ABTOT and ATOL.

In April 2026, Golfbreaks became part of Sports Tours International, the UK’s largest sports travel group. Following the acquisition, the group’s Golf Holidays Direct brand joined our Windsor operation, bringing two specialist golf travel brands, Golfbreaks and Golf Holidays Direct, under one roof and creating one of the UK’s largest centres of golf travel expertise. While both brands are run from the UK, Golfbreaks is our global brand, serving customers across the UK, North America and Scandinavia.

Today, we have more than 200 people across our golf travel business, with our head office in Windsor, Berkshire, and international offices in Charleston, South Carolina, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Together, these teams underpin our global operations, combining the strengths of an international business with the personal service and regional expertise our customers value.

This new chapter gives us the scale, expertise and backing to accelerate our international growth, while retaining the specialist knowledge, culture and customer focus that have made Golfbreaks so successful.
