TAKE A MASTERS TOUR

A growing number of Australian golf fans are making the long trek to Augusta National each year and there are several companies based here with access to accommodation and, most importantly, Masters tickets that host tour groups to the event every year.

Here’s a guide to what some of the best tour companies are offering to go to the 2014 Masters.

ELITE SPORTING TOURS

Elite Sporting Tours developed out of the enthusiasm and admiration Terry Lucas and Steven Ivak had for the US Masters and Augusta National Golf Club. Like all golf lovers, their ultimate dream was to one day witness the greats of golf competing for the coveted Green Jacket. Off the back of this they started taking tours to Augusta after their first visit in 1998.

Elite Sporting Tours only focuses on the US Masters. They do not operate other tours and pride themselves on being the ‘Masters specialists’.

After a successful 2013 trip, when 150 clients enjoyed seeing Adam Scott’s victory, Elite Sporting Tours is catering for more than 200 clients in 2014 and will look to rent 50 to 60 private houses.

Clients enjoy private residential accommodation in the neighbourhood across the road from Augusta National as well as gaining access to exclusive golf clubs, such as Sage Valley and Augusta Country Club.

In 2004, the company also purchased its own host house across the road from the course where clients now enjoy prestige hospitality throughout the week as well as guest speakers.

With a large and experienced team supporting the tour, Terry and Steven pride themselves on offering personalised, localised and on the ground service clients deserve for their ‘once in a lifetime experience’.
