About Us

Welcome to Icon Golf Tours-your golf tour experts.
How are we different from other golf tour operators?
It’s the little things. For starters-we will only structure tours to destinations and golf courses that our team of experts have already been to ourselves. We know which courses to play, where to stay and where to eat and drink. We take pride in providing you with the best value for money-no matter what your budget is. From a First Class trip staying in a five star hotel or on a modest budget end of season mates trip-our goal is to provide you with a once in a lifetime experience you’ll never forget. Our range of tours includes amateur golf events, major events, corporate golf experiences or bespoke golf trips-creating custom itineraries for self led or hosted groups.We are a fully serviced travel agency-so we can organise your flights and accommodation, transfers as well as booking your tee times, carts and caddies. Having previously managed airlines in various countries and spearheaded multinational travel agencies, our founder Mel Patzwald has clocked over 30 years of experience in aviation, travel & tourism and professional sport. Mel established the multi award winning travel company Airport Travel Centre with a focus on corporate travel and luxury holidays in 2005.

Our Company Founder Mel Patzwald

Over the years the pivot has been to sport themed group holidays-particularly golf and football. On our website you will not find dozens of pre-packaged tours-where components of the trip are often not available anyway as advertised. Nor will you find detailed information about individual courses-we can provide all of that in spades. We believe it makes a lot more sense to help inspire you to get started on thinking about and planning your next trip. Which-if you don’t look at any other page on this website-check out the Top 10 & Bucket List Courses page-perhaps some of our golf list contributors will inspire you. 

When you are then ready feel free to contact us about meticulously planning your trip of a lifetime. We provide a bespoke service that will bring your vision to life-right down to a tee.

If you’d like us to host the tour we will-if not that is ok as well. We are a fully serviced travel agency-so we can also organise your flights. We have a 30 year track record in aviation, travel & tourism and professional sport. Having previously spearheaded multinational travel agencies, our founder Mel Patzwald established the multi award winning travel company Airport Travel Centre with a focus on corporate travel and luxury holidays. Since then the pivot has been to sport themed holidays with key expertise and experience in golf and football. The ownership structure of the business is now an athletes venture-with current or former sports professionals part of the team. As such if you decide on a hosted tour you might be surprised by who might be joining you.well
