Dear Herschel,
This gives me the opportunity to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf. You were an enormous help and did us proud – well done!
The tour went very well indeed thanks to your advice and execution and everyone had a great time. We have all agreed to go back next year and I for one would get on a plane tomorrow to do it all over again.
Thanks and hope to deal with you again in the future.

Herschel Hoffmann, with his Monterey Peninsula Golf Tours has done an amazing job of setting up golf for us. We've got seven rounds booked, we just played three magnificient golf courses, this is the fourth, we've got three more to play. And we're looking forward to it. And if you're thinking of booking a golf holiday, I think Herschel's your man.

"A truly memorable trip was certainly enhanced by Herschel's in depth knowledge of the area & courses. He always gave us the benefit of his experience regarding where to stay, play & eat out.
I would thoroughly recommend anybody looking to book a trip to the area, to deal with Herschel & have indeed already passed his details to a colleague of mine who is looking to do a similar trip."

"How do you improve on the golfing trip of a lifetime? Get Monterey Peninsula Golf Tours to arrange it for you.

From the response to that first e-mail enquiry, to the team photos we got upon our return, everything was first class. In fact the welcome once in Monterey from Herschel and some the surprises along the way, even managed to elevate the trip beyond first class. The whole experience be it the hotel, the golf courses, the food, the help from all the staff in those places was excellent."

It would have been remiss of me not to have passed on my very grateful thanks for all your organizational skills, which ensured that our trip to San Francisco and Pebble Beach was an absolute success. None of us had previously played these courses and your choice was quite spectacular. All the rest of the arrangements, i.e. travel instructions, tee times, cart and caddie bookings, it was simply down to you, and we never once had any problems. Your skills didn't stop there however, when we think of all the help you gave us in choosing superb restaurants, including of course the main one which was at the Bouchee Restaurant, beautifully set up for a night to remember celebrating my wife's birthday!

Away from Monterey the Château Du Sureau and the Post Ranch Inn were super choices, all adding yet again to a wonderful total experience all fashioned by your hand.

With best wishes,

Dear Herschel

Thank you so much for arranging our wonderful holiday. The combination of golf and sightseeing was perfect. We enjoyed every minute of it and the choice of hotels was just right.

The room you booked for us at Murphy’s was exceptional and we sat by the fire in the evening before dinner, reading our books and drinking some good wine and just relaxed.

We invited our neighbours in one night and they were speechless – I don’t think their room was quite up to ours. Peter gave you a bit of a job to do finding us somewhere there but you did us proud.

"Just a quick note to say thank you for providing us with such a fantastic experience, it lived up to, and indeed, surpassed expectations on every level. It was lovely to spend time with you and Jane and to feel you had a genuine interest in us and our holiday.

I seriously do hope I will be booking with you again, if I can't I will ensure that any of my friends that are thinking of such a trip go no further than contacting you."

Dear Herschel, we could not have asked for anything more. Exceptional service, great recommendations and wonderful weather (thanks). It was topped off by all of us staying in One Fairway East and West. Thanks for the help in coordinating this event.

Herschel, Just a brief e-mail for contributing to the best ever RAC golf trip, in my opinion. I really had a marvellous time and the venues, accommodation, recommendations etc were first class.
Many thanks once again.

It was all simply magnificent from beginning to end.
The courses were stunning; The Lodge was awesome (I was right next to the 18th green); restaurants were great; and Billy and Chris were not only brilliant caddies, but great fun and company too. I will definitely be going back with mates, so will be in touch probably February next year.
Thanks for all you did to make the trip so wonderful.

On behalf of all the guys (and especially me), may I sincerely thank you for all your assistance with the Monterey part of our trip. It was a marvellous way to finish the Tour, and the arrangements were first rate. Please feel free to quote me, anytime you need extra recommendations. I will be watching the U S Open telecast with even greater interest, after having played there.

Hi Herschel,
  Matthew & I are now back safely in the UK, struggling to adjust back to the time difference.  On behalf of us both please accept our sincere thanks for your work in making the trip such as pleasant and easy experience.  Everywhere we went we were expected, all of the accommodation was top notch and the information pack meant we were able to behave like locals and not waste time trying to find out where to eat / visit etc. . In terms of the courses they were all great - save for the mad 2-3 holes at Carmel Valley.  Pasatiempo was a real gem and we were lucky enough to play Pebble on a sunny day with dolphins leaping in the bay.  Taking a caddy at Pebble & Spyglass was exactly the right thing to do - thanks - and we were lucky enough to get a really good guy who looked after us for both rounds.  I would not hesitate to go back and play Pebble, Spyglass & Pasatiempo and equally would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of the guys at Stoke who register an interest in going to Pebble. Once again, many thanks, it was an amazing trip and so easy for us thanks entirely to the work you had put in ahead of our departure.
  Best wishes
 
Tony Hunt
