Custom Golf Holiday Booking Platform

About the Project

Golf Breaks Portugal is a booking platform built for golfers who want full control over their trip instead of a fixed, off-the-shelf tour. Based locally in the Algarve, the platform brings together accommodation, golf courses, tee times, and transfers into one simple search-and-build experience, serving solo golfers, groups, and travel partners planning trips across the Algarve, Lisbon, Porto, Madeira, Comporta, and the Azores.

Rather than pushing pre-set itineraries, the platform puts the golfer in control, letting them pick dates, hotels, courses, rounds, and group size, then pulling everything into one clear, competitive package.

Business Needs

• A self-serve platform where golfers could build fully custom trips instead of choosing from fixed packages
• Real-time search combining hotel stays, golf rounds, and transfers into a single itinerary
• Transparent, itemized pricing so travelers see exactly what they're paying for
• Support for different traveler types, from solo golfers to larger golf societies
• A single point of contact for enquiries, quotes, and booking details
• Coverage across multiple golf regions in Portugal, not just the Algarve

The Challenge

• Most golf travel platforms rely on rigid, pre-built packages that don't adapt to a golfer's actual preferences
• Coordinating hotels, golf courses, tee times, and transfers into one coherent itinerary is operationally complex
• Group bookings introduce added complexity around rooming, club hire, and logistics
• Presenting clear, honest pricing across multiple combined services (accommodation, golf, extras) without hidden supplements
• Giving users flexibility to adjust dates, courses, or numbers before committing to a final booking
