Scottish Enterprise Awards 2023

Fairways Scotland Limited is a bespoke provider of golf tours, offering customised and tailored experiences around a host of beautiful Scottish golf courses. The company was started in 2017 by now Co-Managing Directors, Kerry-Ann Cockburn and Peter Mitchell, both of whom had previously been in the tourism and golf industries for more than ten years. With only the two of them working for the business, the approach afforded to customers is one that is incredibly hands-on, with a personal and friendly service serving as the backbone of the experience that customers receive. Every element of the trip is personally handled by the duo, including accommodation and transportation. We have the pleasure of speaking with Kerry-Ann and Peter, to find out more about their award-winning venture. Best Bespoke Luxury Golf Tours Provider 2023 As “The Home of Golf”, Scotland offers an unparalleled experience for golfers around the world, and for many of them, a visit of this calibre is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so the expertise that Fairways Scotland can provide is vital in ensuring that the most is made of this opportunity. Kerry-Ann and Peter understand that no client is the same, and all of the tours they offer are thus completely different, unique, and personal, and available for both golfing parties and mixed groups of golfers and non-golfers alike. A combination of luxury and lower cost packages are also available, making trips suitable for everybody, regardless of budget. Every client is personally greeted upon arrival, welcoming them to Scotland and kick-starting their journey in the right way. Since Peter is a professional golfer, another unique element provided by the company is personal coaching sessions. This add-on experience offers clients helpful hints and tips for playing effectively across Scottish courses, particularly the link courses, which the majority of clients choose to experience first. Fairways Scotland has unrivalled experience and expertise in the area, with the company even serving as an authorised provider for the 2019 Solheim Cup held at Gleneagles. Since Kerry-Ann and Peter were both born and bred in Scotland, they possess an unbridled passion for showing clients the very best of what Scotland has to offer, taking great pride in their home country and the intrinsic link it has with the amazing game of golf. Aside from golfing, Scotland possesses a wealth of other cultural and historical offerings for visitors to the country, with some fantastic food and the country’s national drink, whisky. The company feels humbled to have such an array of fantastic things to do right on its doorstep, and it loves sharing these key elements of Scottish culture with visitors during its incredible tours. Like many businesses, Fairways Scotland is seeing a rise in operating costs as a result of global socio-economic factors, with hotel rooms, green fees, and transport costs all having seen significant rises in the time that the company has been operating, with no signs of this slowing down. Despite this, Kerry-Ann and Peter strive to continue to offer the same great luxury service, and with the affordable options mentioned above available, the company is successfully adapting to the world around it, and business is continuing to boom, with people loving to visit Scotland and experience its breath-taking courses. Because the company essentially sells Scotland, its location and ties to the country are essential, and through the close relationships that the business has forged with suppliers, Fairways Scotland is comfortable and confident in the recommendations it makes to clients. By being based centrally in Scotland, Kerry-Ann and Peter can continue to greet guests upon their arrival, and easily provide anything that they may need throughout the duration of their stay. With this central location in mind, the business has also occasionally expanded its offerings to courses in England and Ireland, with these usually being for repeat clients. Looking ahead to the future, golfing tours further afield are something that the company would like to develop, but for Kerry-Ann and Peter, their primary interest is in the business continuing to offer the same high-quality tours for its new and returning clients visiting to play golf in Scotland. The duo is always looking to build on their partnerships, to offer even more exciting ideas and further enhance the client experience. With unrivalled expertise, demeanour, and assortment of luxury offerings, Fairways Scotland has solidified itself as the ultimate bespoke golf tour provider, one sure to thrive for years to come.
