What our clients say
They all say they are the best trips they've ever been on.
These guys have been running these tours since 2003 and have the best contacts in the business. I hosted a group wit Teed Up to the 2015 US Masters and has such a great time I am doing it again in 2016. I would only go with Teed Up on any international Tour.
If you want someone that is not only passionate about golf and the Masters but knowledgeable about what you need to do to make the most of this once in a lifetime trip, then you need to talk to him.

High performance coach, Cricket Australia, Brisbane GC
Mike and Bede I would like to thank both of you for organising a wonderful Tour at this year’s Masters. This was my second Masters trip in a row through Teed up and all I can say is that each trip was memorable. Every part of the trip is looked after, all I had to do was turn up play golf and enjoy the wonderful company of everyone on the tour. The accommodation and golf courses we played were first class and all your staff on the tour are so helpful. I look forward to joining you next year as I go through my bucket list of golfing events
GREG NICHOLSON
Company Founder, Australian Recruiting Group, Carbrook
I would highly recommend the Teed Up Golf US Masters Tour. I really enjoyed the experience of being at Augusta National GC, walking the magnificent course, watching the best golfers in the world at Amen Corner and experiencing the atmosphere of the final group on the 18th on Sunday! Pinehurst Resort exemplified southern hospitality and grandeur, together with excellent courses such as Pinehurst Nos 2 and 8. I also loved the experience of playing at Sage Valley GC
PATRICK MCCLURE
AO, Director, Kincare Group, Concord GC
I took a group of members from my club over on the first escorted Bucket List Tour to the US Masters and from start to finish it was fantastic. The team at Teed Up were amazing throughout the tour and especially in the lead up to our trip as they handled all enquiries. They provided me with all the details and information I needed to ensure my group had a once in a lifetime experience. The courses we played were amazing and accommodation was great and the camaraderie amongst our group and the other Teed Up tourists was really enjoyed by all. I have now done several tours with Teed Up and look forward to hosting many more.

“Once in a lifetime trip” that may become a “twice in a lifetime trip”. A very memorable tour with a great bunch of friends and was made possible by the well managed and fun team from Teed Up. Thanks for the awesome experience Bede, Mosh and Dawn Marie
DREW RIETHMULLER
MD, F MUFG, Pennant Hills Golf Club
I’ve lusted after a trip to The Masters for years and I loved every minute of the tour. Exceptional organisation; superb tour hosts in Mike, Bede & Alizah; unforgettable Pinehurst golf; and the Masters just a breathtaking experience. I toured with 5 mates from my golf club and the Teed Up team made the whole experience a very, very special memory for all of us. I write this with a big smile on my face.
PETER KELLY
Director, Peter Kelly Consulting, Concord Golf Club

SIMON MOUNT
Partner, Aitken Murray, Royal Sydney
Our trip to the US Masters plus golfing experiences exceeded our expectations in organisation and the quality of golf courses. If this is on your ‘bucket list’ I would certainly recommend Teed Up golf as your tour hosts, attentive in every way. Thank you Teed Up!
SUSAN STEVENSON
Pennant Hills Golf Club
The team at Teed Up were amazing. it was great to have them do our thinking for us so we could thoroughly enjoy the experience, and what an experience it was!
KEVIN GEORGE
Exec GM, Office & Industrial, DEXUS Property Group (Royal Sydney Golf Club)
We loved the fact that everywhere we went there was access to our tour hosts. When we needed information on what to do or how things would function there was always someone to ask, and they were great people, very friendly and willing to go the extra mile.
Di and Phil Scamps (Elanora Country Club)
From the outset Teed Up’s communication was excellent, and they organized and executed our Masters Tour exceptionally well. The Masters is a truly unique event and Augusta National is a unique course. Both exceeded our expectations. Teed Up’s team in Australia and locally in Aiken/Augusta thought of everything to ensure our week was special and memorable.
Edwina and Vaughan Kirkby (The Australian Golf Club)
I have would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone planning a trip to The Masters.
REG GIBSON
Solicitor, Gibson Howling Lawyers (The Lakes Golf Club)
As someone who has travelled a lot playing golf, I was a bit sceptical about doing such a tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Teed Up tour. The years of experience Mike and Bede have going to The Masters showed, they are great hosts, and I feel they have found the right mix to make it a memorable golfing experience.
LESTER PETERSON
Australian Amateur Champion Golfer
It was a trip of a lifetime for me and I was not disappointed.
LES BROWNE
Long Reef Golf Club
My trip to the 2016 Masters was one of the highlights of my life. As a keen golfer and traveller, the Teed Up Masters Tour was such a great way to see the Masters, play some great golf courses with my mates and see parts of the USA that I would not have ordinarily had a reason to see. I’ll definitely be back with Teed Up in the near future.
Peter Barraket (Elanora Country Club)
Besser gehts nicht” (It could not have been better). Fantastic team leaders who made each day a golfing day to remember. Accommodation and golf courses first class. This is an experience to be repeated, it is not a bucket list tick and forget. Congratulations to all at Teed Up.c
JOHN MCCARROLL
Private Wealth Adviser, JBWere (Royal Sydney Golf Club)
This was a great trip for and exceeded all my expectations. I couldn’t recommend Teed Up more highly.
MICHAEL KING
(Pymble Golf Club)
I have never been on a golf tour before so Teed Up was my first experience using a golfing tour company. I could not have enjoyed it more. The organisation was great and to be with like-minded people was one of the best parts of the trip. Being hosted by our Club Director made the holiday even more special. Combing August with La Quinta was incredibly clever as the variance between the two experiences made the trip so memorable!
NICOLE DUNCAN
MD, Corporate Relocations, (Manly Golf Club)
Teed Up Masters tour was a little more expensive than most of the tours on offer, but the service and organisation provided was exceptional and so was excellent value. This was a no hassle tour as great attention is paid to making the trip a relaxed holiday. Any problems are dealt with quickly and solved. The accommodation is good, all transfers efficient and transport is of good quality and always on time. All the Teed Up staff are very helpful & always available. The trip starts with a stay at Pinehurst, which was an wonderful. For most this is a “bucket-list” trip and so it has to be right – you will get what you are looking for with Teed Up
RICHARD HOLM
Accountant (Manly Golf Club)
I was part of the Schneider group and have to say that the tour was first class. From the time were picked up in Raleigh Durham to the time we were dropped off in Atlanta. It was very evident that feedback from previous tours had been implemented and we essentially wanted for nothing. The choice of courses, accommodation, transfers, hosts all made that part of the trip memorable in itself. The organization around the Masters was fantastic. It would have been a shame to attend such an iconic event and have it affected by a poorly run tour company. This certainly was not the case with Teed Up, you succeeded in enhancing the Masters Experience, the small things are sometimes the important things such as cold towels when we returned to the hospitality house, good quality food and drinks at the hospitality house… I could go on for hours. I have been telling everyone about the trip and have no hesitation in telling anyone that might be considering a trip to the Masters they MUST talk to Teed Up, I cannot think how it could be done any better than how you do it!
MATTHEW KIRK
Project Manager, Fredon Queensland (Gainsborough Greens Golf Club)
The organisation, the hospitality and the quality of courses we played made for a truly memorable tour. I highly recommend it to any golf fanatic.
DAVID MILLER
Deputy Editor, Fairfax Media (Duntryleague Golf Course, Orange)
The Teed Up guys don’t miss a beat. Well organised and the little things that count are all included. A great tour.
QUENTIN OLDE
MD, FTI Consulting (Manly Golf Club)
Teed Up’s expertise and attention to detail made this the tour of a lifetime for the serious golf enthusiast. They met and exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the tour.
KEN LOCKERY
Killara Golf Club
Teed Up provided an excellent experience. It was critical for the success of Schneider Electrics own customer satisfaction that the total experience exceeded all expectations… which this did. I would have no hesitation in recommending Teed Up for any event that they plan.
ADAM MUNTZ
Sales Manager Major Projects, Schneider Electric (Sanctuary Cove Golf Club)

BILL CLARK
Director, BCE Brisbane & Coastal Electrical (The Grand Golf Club)
The Masters Experience together with the SageValley option is without a doubt the greatest experience in golf.
IAN FORSYTH
Director, Power Control Pty Ltd (Cronulla Golf Club)
Just thought I would drop you all a line to say what a fantastic time Brendan and I had on the US Masters Teed Up Tour this year.As usual the event itself raised the bar, proving that this is the ultimate sporting event in the world and a must for all sports enthusiasts. What was even more rewarding was the exceptional level of customer service which you guys brought to the experience. The accommodation was nothing short of superb, travel and ticket arrangements were precise and hassle free and the hospitality venue an added bonus. Whilst this being said it was the Teed Up staff, in addition to yourselves, which made the trip so unforgettable. It is an enormous task to compliment such a high class event with comparable product and service, however Teed Up managed this with apparent ease and total professionalism. I have headed this email as the boomerang bucket list because, as with many of your guests who thought they may just “tick this one off”, the Teed Up service has only brought the US Masters back on top of my list. Thanks to everyone at Teed Up for one of the most memorable trips of my life, you can be sure that I will be back for more!
DOUGLAS BAILEY
MD, Prime Golf (The Links Kennedy Bay)
It was my first tour with Teed Up Golf Tours and right from the first time we met Bede & Mike made me most welcome and as the tour went on it seemed like I had known you both for ages. The professional manner in the way you approached every detail was first class and I have no hesitation in recommending Teed Up Golf Tours to all Victorians. Hope to see all you wonderful people on future golf tours.
LEIGH GREENING

The whole experience was fantastic
DAVID WALKER
Indooroopilly Golf Club
We did a tour set up by Alizah to accommodate the needs of my sons working schedule – one based in Singapore and one based in London. I just also fitted in with their needs. Three games of golf – the last being Eastlake, where we were treated extremely well, and two days at the Masters! What more could a golfer ask for and with my sons no less! Very honestly both boys said to me after our tour that it exceeded their expectations, even hopes. A person can ask for no more – Thank you all
IAN LYGOE
St Michael’s Golf Club
The Master Golf at Augusta was one of the best experiences ever and should be on every golfer’s bucket list. Teed up Golf certainly put a great package together including accommodation, transport, golf games, and most of all, entry to the” Masters” for one of the best shows on earth!
BARRY EVANS
Mona Vale Golf Club
Fantastically organised, ran like clockwork, local staff employed to assist us were top class!
TONY DREW
Windsor Country Golf Club
From the feedback i have received, it was an exceptional trip. We advertised as a ‘Trip of a Lifetime’ but all attendees have said it was an experience that will never be forgotten, a true and real ‘Trip of a Lifetime’. Thank you for all that you did to make this happen, we are beyond thrilled that it went so well.
LARISSA MARSHALL
Office Coordinator, Schneider Electric | Clipsal & Schneider
The team at Teed Up Golf gave me an experience I will never forget. The organisation, professionalism, the service, the gifts were second to none. I was lucky enough to be on the 18th hole on Sunday, front row. I saw all the big names finish their round. In fact Tiger Woods and Phil Michelson’s ball almost landed in my lap. Then it was fantastic to see Jordan Speith sink his final putt to win the Green Jacket. I thought going to watch the Masters live was only a dream of mine. Although Teed Up made my Dream a Reality. Awesome!
KYLE NEWTON
Director, Newmac Installations (Kareela Golf Club)
As the golfer I enjoyed the experience of a well organised tour with most aspects covered so as I did not have to worry about them. Great company to spend time with after golf.
KERRY GIBBONS
Bankstown Golf Club
As a non golfer I enjoyed the friendship of the golfers and the opportunity to enjoy other activities. e.g. Massage treatment, tours, etc The credit card from the Willcox Hotel was a great idea as it could be used for various things within the hotel.

I would not hesitate to recommend Teed up to couples wanting to go to the Masters. We met plenty of friendly co tourists and made some good friends and let’s face it that, plus the magic of the Masters, is what it’s all about
DAVID RINGLAND
Director, Agrigrain (Dubbo Golf Club)
This is my second trip to the MASTERS with TEED UP with my son Matthew. I wrote a testimonial last time and gave you 10 out of 10. Who would have thought that that you could raise the bar once again. I would encourage any father to come on a trip with their son, its a bonding and memory that can`t ever be forgotten. We have photos, experiences and memories that will stand the test of time, thanks to the professionally run and friendly Teed Up Organisation. Also I must say that Kurt Stegbauer, the teaching pro provided by Teed Up, has helped Matt and I take our game to the next level. If I could rate you higher than 10 out of 10 I would. For anybody considering going with any other tour operator because its cheaper Think Again

JAN AND ALAN HAMILTON
Coolangatta Tweed Heads Golf Club
This was our second trip with Teed Up, and it definitely won’t be our last. After attending the 2010 Masters, we didn’t think this trip could be better but we were wrong. A great group of people, excellent hosts in Mike and Neira and golf courses that we won’t forget in a very long time. And, just to keep us on our toes, some great fun nights to fill in the time where sleep normally occurs. “Creating memories”
MARK AND KAREN PISAREK
Keperra Golf Club
I went on my second “British Open” tour with Teed Up. Like last trip, I wasn’t disappointed. Everything from booking and information beforehand, to the trip itself was very well planned. Tour hosts Mike and Neira were excellent and always thinking of our experience before their own needs (eg they had a tee off time at Old Course,that they gave away so others could play the course). Jim, the bus driver did a great job of getting us to our hotels and golf courses etc.. Throughout it all, it is quite clear that Teed Up has done this before, and I as participant benefit from their experience and selflessness! Can’t wait to book the next trip!
JAN KLOCKMANN
Asquith Golf Club
In 2012, we joined Teed Up for the US Masters Tour….we had such a fabulous experience at Augusta, so we were keen to fulfil the other item on our golf “bucket list”, attending The Open and playing golf in Scotland. We had a wonderful time in Scotland with Teed Up! The opportunity to play famous courses that we had only seen on TV was fantastic…..teeing off at the Old Course at St Andrews, playing Prestwick where the first five Opens were played, and marvelling at the scenery at Kingsbarns and many more golfing memories. But, what makes these golfing experiences special is the Teed Up staff, led by Mike Mosher, supported by Neira, on The Open trip. These people love their jobs, and we benefit from their enthusiasm and knowledge. Thanks Mike and Neira…..we will continue to be strong ambassadors for Teed Up

SIMON JAGOT
I had heard about the Masters Tour and I was not disappointed – I had a wonderful time. From arriving in Charlotte, travelling to Pinehurst, what a place. This place is what memories are made of and place that you will not forget. Aiken, what a nice town, just the right place to call a base. The accommodation at the Carriage House was faultless. Augusta, a place you will never forget!! You hear about places that are said to be perfect, well Augusta is perfect from the time you walk in the gates and you look at the practice area to walking onto the first fairway. You have to pinch yourself to confirm that this is not a dream. Then all the players start to play their practice rounds, the par 3 comp, then come out to play for real on Thursday. You cannot understand how close you can get to the players on all days. Attending the Masters on the Friday and Sunday is unforgettable. The question I keep asking people is; “where were you when Adam Scott won the Masters?” Their answer is watching it on TV, my answer – “Why I was at Augusta!!” I told my wife that the tour was so good that I would not hesitate in going again!!! Well done Mosh & Bede.
PHIL BOCKOS
A perfectly executed tour from start to finish. Good company and clockwork organisation. Michael, Bede and their local hosts run the best Golf Tour I have ever been on. Every detail is covered, options are extensive and the insights into what to do to maximise the experience made an amazing trip unforgettable. Thanks for some wonderful memories
GREG KENT

Like many others I have watched this event keenly since I was a young lad. I want to thank the Teed Up guys for helping me fulfill a (golf) life time dream of visiting the hallowed grounds of Augusta National. Having my photo taken at the front of Magnolia Lane and walking the golf course are the closest I have come to a religious experience so far. Thanks guys and girls, I’ll be back as soon as I save enough to pay for my daughters’ weddings. And Stuart, no more Jager bombs please!!!
STEPHEN CONLEY
National Operations Manager, BMC Mortgage Corporation
It all started 8th July 2013 in Liverpool UK… Mike Mosher walked into my life and that was it! Golf will never be the same again! 14 Days of the best golf tour I have ever been on. 28 friends, 2 Golf Pros, 7 of the best courses in the World, and 2 of the most challenging, plus a whole lot of fun; and on top, attending The Open at Muirfield! All in 14 days and not feeling rushed! Mike you are one of a kind. Nothing was a problem and you kept all your guests happy and on side, well done. The coach drivers were great Scotsmen who enjoyed a laugh and the accommodation was first class. Thanks a million Teed Up Golf is a winner
BOB WESTBURY
Former Mayor Port Stephens NSW
Attending the British Open 2013, playing courses such as St Andrews Old, Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham and St Anne’s, Carnoustie, Royal Liverpool and others was for us going to golfers heaven while still alive. A fantastic experience, superably organised, enjoyed with a great group. Book us in for the Masters.
DOUG & MARY OWENS
This trip of a lifetime is now one ticked off the bucket list and has given us a taste of the great golf trips available. The Britain Open trip was extremely well organised and the courses played were outstanding. Accommodation was also outstanding in great locations to enable some sightseeing after a day’s golf. We have now added a few more trips to our list and won’t hesitate to use Teed Up for these. It was great fun travelling with a group of golfing enthusiasts and many stories were shared after the day’s golf round. Thanks Michael for making this trip such a memorable experience.
COLIN AND SUE THWAITES

Outstanding trip that was very well organized. Fantastic itinerary with a host that enabled maximum enjoyment throughout.
JAMES BUCKETT
Captain, Cathay Pacific Airways
I did not choose this tour, my wife chose it for me. It was absolutely great and the fact that I have played (badly) on Royal Birkdale, Hoylake, Royal Lytham, Turnbery, Troon, Carnoustie and the Old Course will live with me as long as my level of dementia allows. Apart from the great pleasure of the day at the course, it will enhance the pleasure of watching future opens at the various courses played. The people, organisation, transport and accommodation were all first class and the group became quickly a cohesive and fun event.
TIM NASH
It was the golf trip of a lifetime playing some of the world’s best courses. I’ll do another tour as soon as I can!. Everything ran like clockwork and Moshy and the drivers work very hard to make it a memorable experience! I did the tour with friends and that made the whole thing even more fun!
MIKE GREGG
Director, WiseTech Global
This would have to be the best golfing tour that I have been on so far – Michael made sure that everything went like clockwork – not once was there a hiccup that we were aware of. I am sure that a lot of work went on behind the scenes. Allan and Neil were ever so efficient and nothing was a bother for them. We had a great bunch of people – many who did not know each other in the beginning, but we were all firm friends by the end of the tour. I can’t wait for my next tour with Teed Up.
SALLY SCRIMSHAW
The main attraction to us when booking was to gain access to most of the courses on the British Open tournament roster. The resulting tour was very professionally organised, leaving us to time to challenge the courses while making new friends with our fellow travellers. Looking forward to further trips with Teed Up
GEOFF HOPKINS
I have been watching the British Open since I was a child and this represented the trip of a lifetime for me. I’m so happy I entrusted Teed Up to make this dream a reality as they did a fantastic job delivering on all their promises. With Teed Up looking after all the details there was no anxiety checking into hotels, getting to the first tee, transporting bags and getting from one location to next. I have wonderful memories of the people I met, the incredible list of courses I had the honour of playing and finally the chance of seeing my golfing hero’s in action up close. I have attempted to organise golf holidays myself in the past but never again after experiencing the quality of a Teed Up tour. Next stop THE MASTERS 2015!
STEVE KLUSS

This open trip is seriously “the golf trip of a lifetime”. to play all but 2 of the open courses is a great privilege, topped off by the unique and unforgettable experience of teeing off and finishing at St. Andrews old.
PETER LOTHIAN
Book Publisher
Mike and Bede are fun guys to have around and are serious about good golfing and good after golfing stuff!
TREVOR MALONEY
The thing that stood out for me from the tour was that the organisation was outstanding. Things happened when they were meant to happen and I can’t recall an instance when there was an administrative shortcoming on the tour. That gives you a lot of confidence in the tour being a success. Add to that, nice accommodation and you have the basis of a most enjoyable tour. The golf courses were every bit as iconic as we had hoped they would be and to have the opportunity to play them was a unique experience. To witness the famous holes that we have heard about over the years, such as the “Postage stamp” at Royal Troon, the final hole at Carnoustie where John Vanderveldt had his famous ‘brain snap’ in the burn that fronts the final hole and tragically the collapse that Adam Scott experienced over the last 4 holes this year just brings a new meaning to the pressure the golfers must be under. This year’s Open course, Royal Lytham & St Anne’s, was an absolute picture and the lasting memory that I take away from seeing the course is of the bunkers. To hear that the course has 204 bunkers on it, seems a little like “so what” until you see them. They are beautifully presented and form a real challenge for golfers. The riveted faces of the bunkers were so uniform, deep and immaculate in their presentation. Importantly, they were so penal in their effectiveness, so that if you got into a green-side bunker you were never certain of having a direct shot to the green let alone getting it close, while getting into any of the fairway bunkers nearly always necessitated a sideways escape. I was mesmerised by the presentation and grateful that I didn’t have to play the course every week! Tiger Woods complained about the rough being unfair and Phil Michelson was heard to say on TV that he had missed the fairway by 1 yard but had to take an unplayable lie! However, the rough at “Royal Lytham” was good compared to what we witnessed at Muirfield, the site of the 2013 Open Championship. The complaints that will come from the players at that time will be loud and justified. It is a magnificent golf course and a genuine test of golf and was probably my pick of the toughest layout on the roster. That said, to witness and play Turnberry and to stay at the hotel was a special experience and it is easy to understand why it is regularly voted as the Best course in Scotland. Royal Birkdale and Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) were wonderful examples of links golf courses and the height of the rough was a special feature of each of them. The special feeling that everyone spoke about after playing St Andrews is something I won’t forget and to have seen Gary Player play the 18th hole as we watched with a glass of wine in hand, just made it more memorable. The obvious question that you ask yourself is which course did we like the best? They were all magnificent tests of golf, and we were playing off the very friendly tees! To see where the Championship tees are located on many of the holes (which may have been 100 to 150 yards further back) and to try to imagine playing off those tees was beyond my desire or comprehension. Clearly the player that wins the Open on any one of the courses is going to be playing excellent golf as the courses can quickly eat up the errant shot (and we had plenty of them!) and the pot bunkers are so much more difficult than the bunkers that the Americans play week in week out. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 weeks we were away and can now tick off a few of my “Bucket list” items.
DAVID WILLS
If this isn’t the golfing trip of a lifetime, I don’t know what is. Teed up Golf Tours know how to provide fun and experiences that only happen in dreams. If a picture paints a thousand words, then walking the fairways of these classic golf courses, is worth a thousand pictures. Mike and Bede are fun hosts that provide every opportunity for the group to enjoy the experiences, so the nights were fun as well. I have no hesitation in recommending Teed Up Golf Tours for a special experience.
JEFF NASH
Trip of a lifetime. Genuine “Bucket List” trip for any golfer. Hand picked group added to the experience. Made lots of friends long term from this experience.
JOHN HARRISON
My bucket list is now complete. Keep your eyes on the death notices! To play all those courses on a cart was fantastic. I never thought you could pull it off. I should never have doubted you.

Initially it was a little daunting to book, and pay for, a big golf tour like the British Open 2012 with a tour operator that I have never heard of (saw the ad in a magazine, and none of my friends had heard about Teed Up Golf). However, a very friendly and efficient service during the preparation faze (particularly loved the book about the history of British Open courses) reassured me, and once I landed in Edinburgh, I was certainly not disappointed!! Great hotels, ever better courses and Moshi was excellent at making sure everything was running according to schedule. It was clear to see that this wasn’t the first tour that Teed Up Golf had arranged! Being a “single” I was interested to see how the social side of the golf trip would unfold. Also on this point I was positively surprised. We had a couple of meals/drinks in the evenings where everybody participated to make sure nobody was left out. So it only took a couple of days before everyone kind of knew one another. Overall, I can highly recommend this tour!!
JAN KLOCKMANN
Teed Up represented the 2012 British Open Tour as the golfing trip of a lifetime. It was all that and more. Dawn and I compare playing the British Open rota golf courses to a cricketer playing at the SCG or a footballer playing at Wembley every day for 8 days. The courses (the 8 British Open rota courses, as well as the others) were nothing short of sensational. The tour itself went smoothly and, we really don’t know how you do it, the group of people on tour were fantastic travel companions. The on tour golf competitions kept us all focused…..great trophy for the winners (as Dawn will happily confirm)! We will certainly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know!

The 2012 US Masters was our first organised golf tour. It was an outstanding experience with the golf courses we played, the Masters tournament, the accommodations and the company of our fellow travellers. All organised by the friendly experienced tour leaders….Mike, Bede and the local support staff. We look forward to future tours with Teed Up.
DEE AND ROSS JAMES
The accommodation, tickets and transport component of the Teed Up 2012 Tour we used was excellent. We enjoyed complete satisfaction. We recommend Teed Up as a tour operator for the Masters Golf
JIM BARRETT
Thank you both for providing the golfing trip of a lifetime on the 2012 Masters Tour. We played courses that we had previously only dreamed of, and attending the Masters was way beyond our expectations. Your personal approach to looking after the tour members made for a happy group of travellers. Please keep us on the mailing list for all of your future tours.
MICHAEL & ANNETTE TICKLE
My journey with the Teed Up group can only be described as amazing, outstanding and a very WONDERFUL life experience. The organisation and coordination of the whole trip was seamless and the memories that will live with me through meeting great new friends and playing and seeing the best in golf was truly magnificent, I will be advising as many as possible to make the booking to join a Teed Up golf tour to the Masters ASAP. I loved it so much I have booked onto the 2012 US Open trip straight away. Bede and Mosh outstanding fellas, you’re on a winner and you have me for life.
JAMIE MCKAUGHAN
Going to the Masters surpasses any other golf or sporting experience by a mile. It’s a must for any keen golfer. Everything about it is incredible from the security staff, food options, condition of the golf course, atmosphere, quality of golf, spectator viewing options and of course the excitement of the last day. Going to the Masters with Teed Up is the only way to experience the Masters. Every possible detail is considered. It’s a great social occasion as well with organised drinks every night (if you like) and you meet some great people along the way. Local Teed Up staff on the ground during Masters Week were incredibly helpful. Any variation to plan (like going to the Masters early) was easily accommodated and they were on call 24 hours a day. The stay at Pinehurst before the Masters is incredible as well. What a place! Teed Up also arranged a side trip to Pebble Beach for us after the Masters. Again, every detail was taken care of. The whole experience is enhanced by the tour operators Mike and Bede. Everything is superbly organised, but the tour manages to have a relaxed feel about it. We didn’t feel like we had to rush anywhere and there was plenty of opportunity to do your own thing if we desired. It was the trip of a life time and I can’t wait to come back with Teed Up.
DAMIAN MCCARTHY
I have recently returned from the 2012 Masters tour with my son as part of my 60th Birthday celebration. Thanks to the team at Teed Up the trip was one that we both will never forget. Teed Up’s attention to detail was amazing, topped off by friendly support staff that were friendly and eager to please. We were asked in a survey, “What could we do to improve the experience?” and we couldn`t think of anything….I think that says it all
PAUL MALOUF
A very well organised tour that ran smoothly from being met at the airport till to the end of tour. It was high on my bucket list that equalled expectations
MIKE WATSON
I’ve toured with Teed Up on 3 majors, The US Open, British Open and now the Masters. All 3 tours have been exceptional, but The Masters was really something special. As always, Bede, Mike and all the staff involved, go that extra mile to ensure the perfect tour. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Teed Up for any of their tours
GEOFF THOMAS
My wife and I had on our bucket list to attend The Masters at Augusta. We went with Teed Up Golf Tours and we must say we had a total 10 hassle free days including 6 days of golf and 4 at The Masters. Totally enjoyable and a well run machine – would highly recommend the tour to anyone!
JOHN WEBSTER
Boys as I sit here in reflection of our trip having a cold one, I smile and “Think how good was that?” Not one cross word spoken and all your staff are to be commended. From the beautiful smiles of the ladies to the warm welcome of the boys each morning as we departed for a day of fun. Excellent!
PETER MCCALLUM
I can now appreciate the name “Teed up Golf”. To be able to walk out onto No. 2 course at Pinehurst and jump straight into your cart which has been loaded with your clubs and simply go and play is fantastic.
PASQUALE VIZZONE
What a great trip! The Masters is fantastic and extremely well organised and can only be experienced to get the full flavour of the course, and tournament and must be on any serious golf tragic’s bucket list. The tour is very well organised and run, the local staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble either for them and / or Mike and Bede
GREGORY STOTT
Being able to visit Augusta was a dream come true and Teed Up ensured every day, every event and every experience was exceptional. I have been on many golfing tours over the years but nobody does it better than Teed Up.
CRAIG DOUGLAS
Mike and Bede have every part of Augusta Masters Week well covered and their experience shows through. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and they provided lots of little unexpected extras on a daily basis. They are both great socially. Our Masters trip was everything we hoped and more, a true visit to golfers Mecca. Thank you to you all, hope to catch up in QLD
DAVID DEANE
This tour was very well organized and well run. Everything was better than had been promised. I would definitely recommend your tour company and am considering other tours with you. You did an outstanding job and it was so much fun…Thank you! I have not seen a tour like this for Americans wanting to go to Augusta. I am thrilled I joined your tour!
YVETTE JONSSON
San Francisco, California
A really well planned tour! All aspects of the tour ran smoothly and to schedule. When a few of us decided we’d like to arrive at Augusta at an earlier time, there was absolutely no hesitation in providing an earlier bus. Tour hosts were very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the Teed Up experience so much; we have already booked our next tour knowing that we will enjoy the same quality tour.
ANGELA CRAIG
When my wife and I started looking into tour companies that go to the Masters we looked at all the operators and decided on Teed Up due to the options they offered and the fact that the tour was fully hosted by their experienced team. I have to say we were very impressed! From the moment we were greeted at the airport to the moment we said goodbye the tour was first class all the way. The tour hosts went over and beyond our expectations for hosts. The hotels we stayed at were wonderful and the town we stayed in Aiken was magnificent! Great restaurants, great atmosphere and only 30 minutes to Augusta National. I am now glad we didn’t choose to stay in a house in Augusta which was the other option we considered. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, we could be involved with the larger group if we wished or we could spend time on our own if we chose. The Masters itself was better than we had hoped for. If you’re thinking of a golf tour, and want one that you will remember for a very long time then these guys are the best in the business and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
ANDREW REITZER
CEO Metcash
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Teed Up Travel for organising such a great Masters trip. Hugh and I really enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation at The Carriage House Inn was terrific and the service from the lovely ladies there was first class. Playing at Pinehurst was a real golfing highlight while just being at Augusta Golf Club was unforgettable experience. We also really enjoyed Aiken and appreciated you guys opening doors for us wherever we went and thanks to Bede, Mike and Troy for being good blokes to travel with. I will definitely be recommending that others take this trip.
STEPHEN BRIMO
Managing Director, Corporate & Investment Banking, Credit Agricole CIB Australia Limited
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole travel/golfing experience. Nothing was too much trouble. The team at Teed Up Golf took care of everything. Teed Up Golf was always around but not always noticed. Serious golfers, non-golfers, couples and singles were all made to feel special. For us this trip was what we would call ‘the golfing experience of a lifetime’. A must do for any golfer willing to take “time-out” and spend whatever it takes to experience playing at Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and other wonderful courses. The highlight was walking the amazing Augusta course along with the greatest golfers in the world. We just can’t comprehend in our minds that we have actually been to the Masters at Augusta. Testament to this is that we experience many visual replays every day and offer the experiences we had to our many golfing friends.
LILIANE AND MICHAEL AISENBERG
I cannot fault any part of the tour. Extremely well organized, the tour guides were very courteous, happy to answer any questions and a pleasure to be around. One did not feel like you were in a group of 70 odd people – the whole trip ran very smoothly and I would highly recommend to other golfers.
DIANA TAYLOR
Now that I’m back and it’s all sinking in, what a fantastic time I had on the Masters Tour! I had heard so many great things about the tour prior to going and having experienced it now, it was exactly that! Bede, Mike and Troy did a fabulous and professional job on every aspect which made the trip more fun, enjoyable and memorable and is greatly appreciated. I will more than likely consider doing it again and have no doubt in recommending you guys and this trip to anyone. This was one big tick from my bucket list!!!!!
STEVE STAKOS
My wife and I have had a golf trip which exceeded our expectations. Extremely well organised with a great mix of golf and sight-seeing. The Masters is the pinnacle of golf sport and Teed Up know how to present it!
DAVID ELLETT
A dream tour! Teed up have done a great tour, for an exceptional occasion. Everything was professionally done and Bede and Michael have added the Je-ne-sais-quoi to make it even better. Well done guys! See you soon!
BERNARD BOUCHARD
I’ve been fortunate to not only visit some of my “bucket list” golf courses of the world, but now to play them. The Teed Up group are able to organise the best facilities allowing club golfers access to golfing world premium resorts and courses. I will certainly continue to use them in the future.
GEOFF THOMAS
The 2011 British Open Tour will provide me with years of special memories. The fantastic courses that we played all had so much history and presence. Whilst all links courses they were all unique in their own way. Presentation, scenery, tee positions, weather, club houses, caddies on the day, all made for an air of excitement as we made our way to the course and lots of discussion afterwards. The genuine friendliness of the Scottish people and their knowledge and love of the game added to the overall experience. The attention to detail from Teed Up was outstanding. Everything went smoothly with a minimum of fuss with Bede and Mike making sure everyone was having a good time
BOB LEE
Managing Director – Macquarie Underwriting Pty Ltd
What a trip, it lives up to everything you read and more! When I tell other golfers and non-golfers about the courses I have played at they’re speechless. If you want to play golf at the home of golf then this is it… Thanks for a great time and your friendship Mosh and Bede.
ROSALIE HUMBERT
Mike and Bede, I write to thank you both for organising the British Open tour. Playing a number of those great links courses and seeing the British Open were on my “bucket list”. To tick them all off and more in one trip was extraordinary! The organisation, the courses, the accommodation, the fellow “tragics”, the fun and camaraderie was very much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to a friend or relative (a 10 in NPS). Well done guys!
TREVOR AMERY
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and playing golf on world class links golf courses, culminating in attending the final 2 days of The Open (despite the weather). The tour was very well organised with little to be done other than turn up each day. My wife accompanied me as one of the few non golfers and also enjoyed walking around several of the courses and found the other tour members to be very friendly.
PETER COWLEY
It just does not get any better than to play the 9 great Rota courses and conclude at Royal St.Georges watching Darren Clarke win The Open.
ARCH MACDONALD
Chairman – Mansell Macdonald Pty Ltd
The 2011 British Open Tour was described as the “Bucket List” of golf experiences which was what drew my attention in the first place. The golf courses lived up to my expectations and more. Despite my advancing years and ever growing handicap, I never imagined how nervous I would be as I prepared to hit a drive on the 1st tee of The Old Course at St Andrews. Every course was different and magnificent in its own way; unfortunately my golf didn’t always match the course. My list of golfing memories from this trip would fill a book but my most lasting memory will be the new friends that my wife and I met on the tour. Bede & Michael were always there to assist. What a great experience – you’ve got to do it at least once!
GREGORY BLOOMFIELD
Word of mouth is the best form of advertising. We have already told plenty of friends just how great this trip was and that our only recommendation to them was to just do it. We’d have no hesitation in recommending a Teed Up tour and plan to join one ourselves again.
MARK PISAREK
The Masters was everything I expected and more, the intimate knowledge of the guys from Teed Up golf Tours of what is involved in not only getting tickets to the Masters but also accommodation and transport to and from the course as well as the customs and dos and don’ts made the trip thoroughly enjoyable.
ROBERT SCOTT-KING
When booking this trip I was expecting it to be a trip of a lifetime, it was and I would definitely do it again.
TERRANCE LITTLE
Managing Director Estee Lauder UK
I had high expectations for my first trip to the Masters. I am happy to say that each aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations. I would have no hesitation in doing the same trip with Teed Up and in fact I am already working on the next one.
TREVOR AMERY
Ex MD Subaru Australia
Tour provided an excellent way to experience The Masters. Teed Up delivered a very well-run professionally executed programme before and during the main event and I would have no hesitation in recommending the package to anyone contemplating attending this event.
ALLAN LIVINGSTONE

Thank you to you and Michael for providing a great experience for us. We loved having the house and the driver; made the experience a great one for us.
KEN JOLLY
Chairman Scholastic Australia
It was a well thought out tour, excellent advice on Masters attendance from experienced operators. The golf courses we played were truly memorable and travelling distances were not excessive.
JOHN NESBITT
What can I say about my first visit to The Masters? Not a lot really cause until you go you will never really understand… words can’t describe! So do yourself a favour, whether a golfer or just a sports purist get yourself on a Tour with Mike & Bede
CHRIS WILKINS
Ray White Drummoyne
For a golf enthusiast, the US Masters is the best sporting event I have witnessed. The Teed Up team complimented that with their professionalism, their attention to detail, and their general good humour and mateship. Would thoroughly recommend the tour!
KIERAN GLYNN
All guides were good people and I would recommend your tour. Thanks for the memories.
DAVID USASZ
This was my first time on a golf tour of this magnitude and thanks to all at Teed Up for making this experience so much better that I could have imagined when I decided to go on the US Master tour. I did consider other tours, but I believed this tour provided the perfect balance of playing golf at 5 great courses, plus the attendance at the US Masters and previously indicated all that was experienced exceeded my pre-tour expectations. The tour guides were great, including their golf tips and being available to answer tour questions, a great group of people on the tour who got on well together and the whole tour was well organised.
ALICK MARKS
An excellent first class golf and accommodation tour. How much fun can one person have????
JOHN COATES
Trip of a lifetime (although I loved it so much I will do it again one day) run by a great bunch of guys who are as passionate about the game of golf as the rest of us lunatics!
MICHAEL SIDGREAVES
I found the tour to be five star with quality golf courses, quality accommodation and quality people.
HOWARD WATSON
CEO Signature Security
Well organised – good fellowship – great fun – a wonderful experience!
BRIAN SIDGREAVES
The tour was a fantastic experience with the ultimate combination of golf on some great courses as well as attending the Masters at Augusta.
MATTHEW ANDERSON
You guys were great, everything went very smoothly and I thought it was great that Mike came and had dinner with us (Concord group) and played with us a couple of days…really an excellent team!
ROSS HARON
Managing Director – Transform Retail Projects
This was my first ever trip on tour group, and I must say nothing will ever compare to The Masters experience, tour guides and the golf courses that Teed Up had organised for us. I meet some wonderful people on this tour and played some great golf what more can you ask for.
BEN LEACH
Once in a lifetime experience made even more memorable by the expertise and good humoured efficiency of the Teed Up staff who worked exceptionally hard to keep everybody happy….no easy task with 80 egos to massage. Congratulations Boys!!!! Hope we will meet again soon.
KEITH BENNETT
Excellent – enjoyed the company of all. Made everyone feel most welcome
VICTOR LALIEU

Thankyou Bede and Mike you made my Masters trip an unforgettable experience and created some lifetime memories. Your ability to organise and arrange the venues, golf and holiday experience are of the highest level far exceeding my expectations. Thankyou gentlemen for all your efforts and help during my Masters experience and for providing this golf nut with a unforgettable memory. I look forward to joining another of your tours in the future.
