The 2021 golf travel season is one that all of us at H&B will remember for years to come.
After an absence of nearly two years, the H&B Forces were back to enjoying Golf at its Finest and Life at its Best across the pond.
And while the season was an abbreviated one, there were plenty of Memories that Last a Lifetime experienced along the way.
To say that our friends and partners in Great Britain, Ireland, and Spain were glad to see the golfers return would be an understatement. As you’ll see in the quotes below and on our reviews page, none of the hotels, golf courses, caddies, and driver-hosts ever missed a beat.
What follows are 22 of our favorite Field Reports from the unforgettable 2021 golf travel season.
But first…
If you were among the hundreds of H&B Forces who helped us all get back to Golf and the Good Life across the pond…
Thank you.
We look forward to being a part of even more memories in 2022 and beyond.

“You all planned a perfect itinerary and everything was great. The restaurants were really good with Shanahan’s and Brookwood being the best. John Daly was the perfect driver and really made the trip so easy and was always so helpful. On top of it all, we apparently had the best weather we could ask for in Ireland. We only had rain on the first 9 at Portstewart. The rest of the time was perfect weather. Thanks again on behalf of our group and we are definitely going to use you all for our next one.”
