So why use the services of locally based agencies when golf, accommodation and car hire can be booked directly through the internet?
In 1995, when the Costa del Sol first came to prominence with the announcement that Valderrama would host the 1997 Ryder Cup, Leisure Breaks S.L. was the only legally constituted agency on the newly dubbed Costa del Golf handling golf reservations and ground services for it's individual clients. Others have followed, a few of them legitimate, and many "Fools and Horses" (no income tax, no VAT). The latter tend to come and go.
So why use the services of locally based agencies when golf, accommodation and car hire can be booked directly through the Internet? Having chatted to many of our clients who have tried both, there seem to be many reasons, not the least of which (surprise, surprise!) is that it is far less expensive. Clients booking directly with the golf courses, hotels and car hire companies, pay the full rates, whereas local agencies are able to offer discounts. Local agencies also offer a one-stop service, available by 'phone, fax or Internet, which saves the trouble of dealing with all the individual companies. But Golf Leisure Breaks provides much more. 12 years' experience of dealing with the golf courses, hotels and car hire companies has led to an important rapport which provides clients with the assurance that their interests will be protected during their stay in Spain. Refunds and rain-checks due to inclement weather, changes in dates and numbers, help with the language, even guaranteed start times through our regular friendly competitions - all are dealt with on the spot, ensuring a trouble-free golf holiday.
