The GTL Difference
Born from Golf Tourism England. Built on relationships. Defined by an uncompromising commitment to the quality of the English golf experience.
Born from the Industry
Golf Tours London did not begin with a business plan. It began with a phone call from an American tour operator who had attended one of Golf Tourism England’s events at the PGA Show in Orlando, had hosted a group in Surrey, and needed someone on the ground to make the next trip run perfectly.
That call was the first of many. As Golf Tourism England’s reputation for promoting England’s golf to the American market grew — through years of PGA Show attendance, trade events, and carefully hosted FAM trips — so too did the demand for a dedicated, reliable ground handling service in the South East.
Golf Tours London was established to meet that demand. It is not a pivot or a diversification. It is the natural, organic extension of everything Golf Tourism England has been doing for over a decade: connecting the world’s best golf operators with England’s finest courses, hotels and experiences.
"We don't just sell Surrey. We live here. We have established personal relationships with the clubs, hotels and transport partners in our portfolio."
Golf Tours London — Ground Handler, Surrey
World-Class Golf. Zero Friction.
The single most compelling logistical argument for a Surrey golf trip is one that is rarely articulated clearly enough: your clients can land at Heathrow — the world’s most connected international airport — and be standing on the first tee of a Top-100 course within 45 minutes.
No internal flights. No exhausting multi-hour drives. No jet lag compounded by travel. Just a smooth, executive transfer from the terminal to the clubhouse, with the heathland stretching out ahead of them.
This is the Heathrow Hub advantage, and it is unique in world golf. Scotland is magnificent, but it requires additional travel. Ireland is spectacular, but it adds another flight. Surrey delivers world-class golf at the very first point of arrival — and that matters enormously to the high-net-worth American traveller.
Add the proximity to London for pre- or post-trip experiences, and the accessibility of the Kent coast for links golf, and the South East becomes not just a destination but a complete golf holiday in one compact, beautifully connected region.

Your Partner, Not Your Competitor
Golf Tours London is a strictly B2B business. We do not sell golf holidays to the public. We do not have a consumer website. We do not advertise to individual golfers. We exist solely to serve the professional travel trade.
This is not simply a commercial decision — it is a fundamental principle. When you bring your clients to England, you have invested in those relationships. The last thing you need is your ground handler competing with you for the same business. That will never happen with GTL.
Because we operate exclusively as a B2B ground handler, our commercial relationship with you is straightforward, transparent, and focused entirely on delivery.
🔒 Trade-Only by Design
GTL has no consumer-facing sales channels. Our only clients are professional tour operators and travel agents. Your client relationships are always yours.
🤝 Your Brand, Our Logistics
We operate as a seamless extension of your business. Your clients experience England under your brand. GTL remains invisible — but indispensable.
📋 Simplified Commercial Terms
As a B2B ground handler, our commercial relationship is straightforward and transparent. No hidden fees and no retail mark-up conflicts.
📞 Direct Access, Always
You will have a direct line to our Surrey team — not a call centre, not a ticketing system. Real people, in the destination, available when you need them.
The Principles That Guide Everything We Do
Quality Over Volume
We would rather do fewer trips exceptionally well than many trips adequately. Every itinerary we handle receives the same level of personal attention, regardless of group size.
Relationships First
Our supplier network is built on genuine personal relationships, not commercial contracts alone. When we call a club or hotel, we are calling a partner — and that makes all the difference.
Anticipate, Don't React
The best ground handler is one whose clients never know there was a problem. We anticipate issues before they arise and resolve them before they are noticed.
The Region is Our Passion
We are not generalists who happen to cover Surrey. This region — its courses, its landscape, its history — is what we know and love. That passion is evident in every itinerary we create.
Transparency Always
Our operators know exactly what they are getting and exactly what they are paying. There are no surprises in a GTL itinerary — except the pleasant kind.
The Detail is Everything
The difference between a good trip and an exceptional one is almost always in the details. The early breakfast arranged, the bag drop organised, the dinner table secured. We sweat the small stuff so your clients never have to.
