***Longwood Wins Best Golf Operator Award***

2 December 2008

Red Sea specialists Longwood Holidays are pleased to announce they have been awarded the coveted title of best golf operator in the Short Breaks and Holidays Awards 2008. The awards are voted for by travel agents from across the country.

The operator launched its golf programme in October last year and currently offers golfing holidays in the Red Sea resorts of Taba Heights, El Gouna and Sharm el Sheikh.

“It’s so good that our golf programme is being recognised by the trade and we’re really honoured to accept this award” said Dan Lion Longwood Holidays Golf Product Manager. “Our golf programme has expanded rapidly in the past year and we’re very proud that are product is being recognised for its quality.”

Longwood offer specially negotiated green fees as well as golf package holidays such as their current 7nt Tee Time in Taba offer at Taba Heights, starting from £539 and which includes
  • 3 rounds of 18 holes
  • 2 rounds of 9 holes
  • 100 range balls per day
  • use of golf cart
  • flights from London Gatwick
  • 7nts half board at the 5* Hyatt Regency Taba Heights PLUS guests arriving 5 Jan - 23 Mar 2009 receive a free upgrade to sea view, a 15% discount on beverages & a 25% discount on massage treatments & products.

Price based on departures 5-19 January 2009.

“I think it’s our fantastic value for money golf packages that set us aside from our competitors” said Lion. “It’s rare to find a golf operator that can offer an entire package including flights, accommodation and a week’s golfing for what we can. This, along with our professional service, truly sets us aside from our competitors.”

The operator also caters for golfers travelling with non golfers with all three resorts of Taba Heights, El Gouna and Sharm el Sheikh offering spa packages, diving and snorkelling plus excursions to nearby places of interest including Petra, Luxor, Cairo, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea.

“It’s really important to realise that not everyone goes away with just golfers” commented Lion. “A lot of golfers are travelling with families or partners who are not that keen on the sport which is why we try to offer as many varieties of activities as possible so everyone has a good holiday.”
