Visit Herefordshire will this week unveil full details of golf
packages in Herefordshire offering golfers a one-stop shop. The aim
is to encourage more people to visit and play golf in the county.
Working with Tee Time Services, Visit Herefordshire aims to raise
the profile of the 18 golf courses in the county by linking them
with accommodation to encourage people to stay in county and enjoy
the great outdoors.
Visit Herefordshire hopes to capitalise on the benefits of the
Ryder cup that is being held at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport in
2010. Peter Hands the Chairman of Visit Herefordshire said "With
the Celtic Manor Resort only a short drive away from the county
this is an ideal opportunity for Herefordshire to capitalise on
golf breaks. We will raise the county's profile in the world of
golf and ensure that we encourage more people to stay and play in
the county."
Golf courses and accommodation providers in the county are being
encouraged to sign up to the package deal that will bring in groups
of new golfers to the county and showcase the excellent facilities
for golf and all other activities. Tee Time services have an
excellent track record of developing golf packages across the UK
and in Europe and they have close links with Brittany Ferries and
Stenna line ferries.
"The golf packages will be officially launched in May. They will be
sold via a marketing campaign organized by Tee Time Services to
targeted groups throughout the UK and Ireland. Herefordshire's new
golf packages will feature in the golfing magazines and also on
their web site." Said Jane Lewis Cultural Services Manager
