For travel agents and golf club partners
Ascot Tours offers a flagship golf and wildlife experience, anchored on a 4-day engagement with golfing legend Gary Player in South Africa. Travel agents can offer clients an exclusive golf tour with Gary Player, providing four days of guided play, personal interaction, and flexible add-on options. This core experience is available for booking, and can be extended with bespoke pre- and post-tour options to suit your individual group needs. For your clients, this is a chance to trade the usual clubhouse chatter for real stories… It is golf with a heartbeat, not a highlight reel.
A Story Your Clients Will Tell Forever
For travel agents and golf clubs, this experience almost sells itself. Clients are not just booking rounds of golf, they are buying bragging rights. “I played with Gary Player” tends to travel faster than a mis-hit tee shot, and it sticks. This is the kind of trip that turns past clients into repeat bookers and casual golfers into lifelong fans. It works equally well for private groups, club trips, incentives, or milestone celebrations, and it gives agents an easy conversation starter that usually ends with a yes.
We build the Perfect Itinerary for your clients
The four days with Gary Player form a neat, confident core that agents can build around without stress. Add a safari, add more golf, add a few days of sightseeing, or keep it tight and focused. However it is shaped, the centerpiece remains clear and compelling, much like a perfectly placed approach shot that sets up an easy putt. There is time to play, time to talk, and time to simply be in the presence of Gary Player. It is polished without being precious, and structured without feeling stiff.
The four-day itinerary includes scheduled golf rounds with Gary Player, informal interaction during play, and shared meals or sessions where clients can engage directly with him. The focus is on participation rather than observation, giving golfers time on the course alongside Gary Player and opportunities for conversation and practical insight. Non-golfing companions can be included with alternative activities arranged during golf days.
Accommodation, transfers, tee times, and on-site coordination are managed by Ascot Tours. Golf courses are selected based on group preferences, location, and seasonal conditions, with an emphasis on established South African venues. The itinerary allows a balance between structured golf days and lighter activity, ensuring the program remains comfortable and manageable for a wide range of golfers.
From a sales perspective, this exclusive tour with Gary Player provides agents with a clear value proposition. Clients are booking direct access to a leading figure in golf, delivered in a controlled four-day format that fits easily into wider travel plans.
Pricing, group size, and inclusions can be adjusted based on the agent’s market, making the tour suitable for club travel, incentives, and private client requests.

Pre- and post-tour extensions can be added as required, including additional golf, sightseeing, or safari components. This allows agents to increase trip length and overall value while keeping the core experience consistent. Ascot Tours supports agents with itinerary planning, costing, and operational delivery in South Africa.
Playing Golf with Gary Player
Gary Player needs little introduction, yet his story continues to surprise. A nine-time major champion, global ambassador for the game, course designer, author, and speaker, his career spans decades and continents. He has competed at the highest level, shaped courses played by professionals and amateurs alike, and championed fitness and longevity long before it was fashionable. His reputation rests not only on trophies, but on approachability, discipline, and an enduring love for the game.
What resonates most with clients is that Gary Player is still fully engaged. He is present, curious, and generous with his time and insight. There is no script and no stiff formality, just shared rounds, shared meals, and stories delivered with humor and clarity.
For travelers, that makes the experience feel genuine. For agents, it makes the product dependable, repeatable, and refreshingly easy to recommend. This exclusive golf tour with Gary Player allows groups to experience South Africa’s top courses while enjoying direct access to one of golf’s most celebrated legends.
