Bonville International Golf Course

ALAN Hawes has “been there and done that” and now he wants to share his life experiences with golf travellers who enjoy playing new and exciting golfing destinations.

The enterprising businessman, who just happens to be Robert Allenby’s brother-in-law, is an experienced pilot and formerly ran fly/ski tours to Australia’s snow fields.

He also operated transport and technical services companies in Australia and New Zealand.

So he knows a thing or two about organising tours and moving people around in comfort.

These days Alan has his own golf tour company called Alan B Golf Tours (get it? Alan-B? If not, try saying it out loud).

The golf tour company can organise trips from single-day excursions right up to a two-week fully-inclusive golfing holiday.

So, if you have a group of 10 or more, Alan and his team can accommodate you.

In New South Wales, Alan takes groups to the Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, Central Coast, Blue Mountains and the Northern Rivers.

Tours to Queensland’s Gold or Sunshine coasts as well as trips to the magnificent Murray River on the NSW-Victorian border, the Yarra Valley or the famous sandbelt courses can also be arranged.

And because Alan has been “inside the ropes” with his brother-in-law Robert Allenby, and has mixed with some of the world’s top players, he has some great stories to tell.

Right now Alan B Golf Tours has a spring special to Bonville International at Coffs Harbour with an overnight stay at Kooindah Waters Resort.

“We only promote golf courses which measure up to our strict criteria of having the ‘Wow factor’ and make golfers want to play them again and again,” Alan said.

“Our tours range from extended travel stays at the one venue or can encompass several golf courses and stays within the one journey.

“The extended tour prices include four-star
accommodation and breakfast.”
Golfers and non-golfers travel safely aboard
a comfortable, air-conditioned coach with
rest stops that includes coffee/tee and snacks
and welcome drinks are offered on arrival at
the resort.

All rounds of golf include competition fees and motorised golf carts.

Alan said the tour groups also organise their own competitions.

Next year Alan will also host tours to the four majors – the US Masters, US Open, Open Championship and the US PGA Championship.

“Let us take the hassle out of driving or flying with restrictive luggage allowances on cheaper fares — as well as the burden of carrying your clubs and luggage,” Alan offered.
