I’ve been playing this cruel and unusual game for 30 years now and taking golf trips for more than a decade.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to play some fantastic destinations. More importantly, I’ve learned what separates a great golf trip from an expensive one.

A great golf trip is not just about playing bucket list courses and coming home with merch you’ll proudly wear at your local muni. It’s about pacing, lodging, routing, group fit, and having the right balance of time on and off the golf course.

The best trips leave you planning the next one before you part ways in the terminal.

That’s what led me to start Fairways & Dreams.

I’ve met too many golfers who assume golf trips are out of reach. Too expensive. Too complicated. Something they’ll get around to someday.

The reality is that great golf trips are far more attainable than most people think.

My goal is simple: help more golfers take them.
