Why Argo
Golf travel designed to meet the standard you keep.
Where this began
Argo began with years spent living, working, and playing golf all around the world, arranging every trip ourselves because no one offered more than a tee time and a hotel. We built the service we went looking for but never found. It comes with decades in global golf, both on the course and inside some of the game's most recognizable brands.
What we handle
The itinerary is the smallest part of it.
The tee times, of course, secured and sequenced. But also the caddie matched to your game, the table held at the place worth holding, the standing order at the pub, the clubs shipped ahead, the rain plan nobody needed, the driver who knows the long way home is better at sunset.
And the trip beyond the course. The onsen after a round in Japan. The safari when the golf in South Africa is done. The distillery above the harbor, the boat out on the rest day, the tasting arranged in the Douro before the flight home.
And the ones not playing. The spa day that outshines the golf, the gardens, the galleries, the ride through the hills, the long lunch that was somehow the best hour of the week.
Every journey is drawn for one party at a time, around the people actually traveling. The list differs every time. The attention does not.
Our standards
·
Every trip is drawn by hand.
There is no catalogue and no template. The chart begins with a call and ends with your signature on a single, considered document.
·
Everything is tested before it is offered.
The hotels, the hosts, the drivers, the tables: we have used them ourselves, and anything that fails our own trip never reaches yours.
·
Someone is always on the line.
While you travel, the house is awake. A change of weather or a change of mind is handled the same day, not after you return.
·
The house keeps the notes.
Preferences, anniversaries, the coffee order, the caddie who was quietly excellent; we keep them, so the second journey begins where the first left off.
The Name
The vessel, the fellowship, the golden prize.
The Argo was the ship of the old telling: well made, well captained, remembered because it carried its crew somewhere golden and brought them home. It seemed like the right thing to name a travel house after.
