Adding Value to Your Dream…

The basis upon which all Haversham & Baker Expeditions are judged is to what degree they exceed your expectations. After all is said and done and you’re looking back at the moments, memories and other remnants of your experience we want to you be left with one basic notion, “Wow, I knew it was going to be good but not that good.”

Delivering on such a lofty ideal requires exceptional service at all stages of the process from planning to execution. It also requires negotiating for extras, large and small, from the venues you might choose. It’s our good fortune and yours that the finer courses, resorts, hotels and such have come to recognize Haversham & Baker and those who decide to participate in expeditions under the H&B banner as a cut above the norm. For this reason they are not only delighted to have you and your group as their guest but they’re willing to bend a bit when it comes to offering extras to help make your expedition even more memorable.

Then ring us on 800 U TEE OFF (883-3633) and chat with one of our seasoned golf travel experts to find out how H&B blends the perfect elements to make your custom planned experience much more than just a golf trip.

Keep in mind that each of these added values and benefits are exclusive to members of the Haversham & Baker Expeditionary Forces. (We wouldn’t have it any other way).

GLENEAGLES
visit: www.gleneagles.com

• Home to the 2014 Ryder Cup
• Member of The Leading Hotels of the World
• 2006 Conde Nast Readers Choice Award

Known as the Palace in the Glen, this magnificent resort has tended to the needs of kings and queens, celebrities of all stature from throughout the world and passionate golfers from some of the finest clubs in America. Just an hour from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, it’s hard to believe such a countrified environment As incredulous are the concessions your Haversham & Baker negotiators were able to garner on behalf of their expeditionary forces. Not only is Gleneagles readily recognized as a standard by which all resorts, regardless of nation, are judged – it’s operated by Scotsman. How often does one enter into any form of negotiation with a Scot and wind up with results as favorable as were managed for you?
