The perfect gift for your valentine: romantic golf. 

Three of golf’s most romantic destinations are making very special offers you can share with your special valentine.  These great values from Gleneagles, Dromoland Castle and Bovey Castle are available exclusively as Major Rewards for the clients of Haversham & Baker Golfing Expeditions.

All three of these elegant, historic resorts are offering complimentary room upgrades, complimentary golf and unique welcoming gifts that make you and your special someone feel very privileged indeed.  With these offers, you are, simply, Major VIPs during your stay with all the special attention that status affords.

The Gleneagles (http://www.gleneagles.com) offer also includes a personal welcome from their concierge who will attend to your every whim during your stay, a complimentary manicure and a welcoming fruit plate in your room.  Gleneagles is, of course, one of the most famous resorts in all of golf.  Luxurious and impeccable though it is, we find that Gleneagles has a refreshingly relaxed manner, unstarchy and unstiff, that is mirrored by the friendly courtesy of the entire staff.  From your first wholehearted Scottish welcome by our dear friend Billy Lynch the doorman, you will be looked after warmly by the staff and the spectacular services they offer.

The Dromoland (http://www.dromoland.ie) offer also includes a complimentary spa treatment or recreational activity, wine with dinner and an Irish coffee night cap.  Dromoland Castle is, in our view, Ireland’s finest castle hotel, and one of the very few that can trace its ownership back to Gaelic Irish families of royal heritage. The Castle offers its guests deluxe accommodations and the experience of living like landed gentry; surrounded by breathtaking scenery; absolute luxury; and exceptional service.

The Bovey (http://www.boveycastle.com) offer also includes a welcoming cocktail and estate tour with a senior member of the staff; a complimentary fishing, falconry or archery lesson; and a guided walk on the moor that was made famous in The Hound of the Baskervilles.  (No worry.  The hound is long since departed, thanks to Sherlock Holmes.)  Bovey Castle is the latest creation of Peter de Savary, founder of such luxury properties as Scotland’s Skibo Castle and the St. James’s Clubs throughout the world.  Set within the perfect mix of park, moorland, woodlands and rivers within the Dartmoor National Park about 150 miles southwest of London, Bovey is more than worthy of that association. 

For more information on these exceptional offers, contact us at uteeoff@haversham.com or 800-883-3633.  And if you do so by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, February 11th, we’ll make certain your valentine receives a lovely notice of your gift by Valentine’s Day, Monday February 14th.  

These offers are valid through 2006 and available exclusively through Haversham & Baker Golfing Expeditions.

And why not add St. Andrews?

This year in July the St. Andrews Old Course hosts the 134th Open Championship.  You can attend the event as part of our Open package (click here for details). 

Or you can play the course itself.  We still have a smattering of guaranteed tee times available in May, August and October.

And don’t forget your valentine!

Cheers,
