Thanks to the amazing support and help of Fairways of Eden I was able to enjoy an amazing golf holiday with my father and some friends in June in Pattaya. Extremely prompt responses and very professional services alongside super competitive prices offered.

Ich unternehme schon seit vielen Jahren Golfreisen in unterschiedlichster Konstellation (mit Freunden, mit Familie, zu zweit, zu viert, …) und organisiere diese Reisen auch stets selbst. Das heißt, dass ich sicherlich eine gewisse Routine darin habe, wie man schöne Plätze auswählt, wie man t-times schon viele Wochen im Voraus bucht und wie die An- und Abreise funktioniert. In Thailand ist das aber nicht ganz so einfach, denn man kann viele Schritte nicht direkt online erledigen und muss auch einige Rahmenbedingungen berücksichtigen. Deshalb habe ich mich diesmal entschieden „Fairways of Eden“ zu kontaktieren und ich muss wirklich sagen, dass wir restlos begeistert waren. Wir haben nach einer kurzen Kontaktaufnahme ein wirklich tolles Golfprogramm mit super Platzempfehlungen an unterschiedlichen Orten bekommen und das schließlich auch gebucht. Und ich kann wirklich behaupten, dass das unseren Individual-Golfurlaub absolut perfektioniert hat. Wir sind immer pünktlich vom jeweiligen Hotel abgeholt worden, haben auf den schönsten Plätzen Thailands gespielt, Vorort war alles perfekt organisiert, wir sind wieder pünktlich zurückgebracht worden ohne auch nur einmal Rückfrage halten zu müssen. Wenn es möglich wäre, würde ich daher sogar 6 Sterne in der Bewertung angeben! Deshalb vielen lieben Dank Robert für deine Professionalität; ich habe dich schon vielen meiner Golffreunde weiter empfohlen und wir werden im kommenden Jahr bestimmt wieder bei „Fairways of Eden“ buchen.

Robert from Fairways of Eden offered great service and a very competitive price for our round at Springfield. Seamless pick up and drop coupled with very responsive replies via email or WhatsApp. Highly recommend

Michael Keenan

You pay for the service before you go on holiday so it doesn’t count as spending money, right?! 😀 every pick up and drop off was on time and very efficient in communication. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Black mountain, pineapple valley, palm hill and majestic creek in that order 😍

Ryan Upward

Klasse Organisation und Durchführung. Red Mountain als Golfplatz sehr zu empfehlen. Dschungel feeling inklusive. Die Transfers haben tadellos funktioniert und waren individuell planbar. Immer wieder.

Having been to Thailand before but never playing golf I find myself thinking I was fortunate to find Fairways of Eden talked about on some reviews I saw. Robert the boss is fantastic. Not only did he get me the best rates but also was able to switch a booked day when my back played up. I won’t come to Thailand again to play golf without using FOE.
