GUESTS EXPERIENCE: Thank you for helping out with all the practicalities!!

Honestly saying, this package was the best I have experienced in my golf career. I have a tradition with my friends to travel for golf to European destinations in late September visiting places such as Italia, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Denmark.

What we appreciate in a golf package is: 1. Good quality hotel (sauna, good breakfast and central location) 2. Transportation from and to airport/golf courses

CITY CENTRE COMFORT

3. Good quality golf courses Hotel Slon is the best Best Western hotel I have never been to. Small things, such as fresh fruit served in the room, good service at reception, spa & fitness facilities really made our stay enjoyable.

Diners Golf Club is in the TOP 10% golf courses that I know in Europe and so close to Ljubljana. If one would drive with their own/rental car detailed instructions would be nice (even the Garmin navigator had some difficulties finding the way). Otherwise, simply a great course with great service at the caddiemaster's office. Golf Arboretum was a very different type and a more challenging course. And variety in golf courses is what we do appreciate Pasi
