Golf Pairs Tour Reviews 

Very well organised tour in koh Samui, everything was done for us.

Wish I never entered there comps Took money out of 2 bank cards for same 2 comps
Tried phone no answer
And has for emails just shocking
Stay well way from this company

We have regularly entered these events over the last few years but we will not be doing so again. If you’re lucky enough to win something you win vouchers which are non monetary and only redeemable against future Mizuno Pairs events. However when you try to redeem code into a new booking it only allows you to use one voucher code. We contacted Mizuno Pairs several times via email ( as they don’t provide a contact number) but they never respond, as we had a number of vouchers we wanted to use. Eventually after numerous attempts to contact them by email they stated that we must contact them by phone before making a booking. They refused to apply our vouchers to the booking we made and stated that if we wished to redeem them for this event we had to cancel this booking thereby losing our £50 per head deposit and rebook with them over the phone but they refused to provide a phone number! There’s no cooling off period either so once you’ve paid a deposit that’s it your money is lost!! Dreadful customer service …. possibly the worst I’ve come across!!

I’ve booked several of these and they’ve been great. Accessing hard to access clubs at or around best case visitor rate. Not sure prizes are that important as they will always be won by strange handicappers!!! There are plenty of bandits in my experience 😉 Hannah in the office is a superstar who can sort out stuff when I regularly mess up.

I guess they are a way of playing courses that you might otherwise not get on............if you are willing to pay the price....but as others have written you pay your money, turn up register to someone who is sat with a laptop ...you are given a card...you play and return the card and that is it. An open run by a club is far more appealing experience, probably better value, you can get food included and there is far more engagement from the club.....But the biggest complaint that I have concerns the 'prize money'.. which is not clearly explained in their T's & C's .....we never expected to win anything from the event we entered, but we did!!....we got an email to say we had won £200....which can only be spent against a future Mizuno event. So it's not prize money.....it's a loan of Mizuno's own money, so not content with charging you to enter the event they then ensure that don't make a loss by keeping all of the winnings. Great business.....but this is not explained in their terms. All we wanted was a voucher each to exchange in our Pro Shop (which other organisers can do) When I emailed them they did say we could use the voucher with Mizuno direct, but there would have to be a £100 min purchase due to their delivery rules!! Forget that then. I guess we will only ever play one more of these events (with our voucher) and then boycott them and stick to club opens instead.

Would not recommend these comps. Club golf comps are far better value for money and far better organised. Admin after registration on line was hopeless: countless emails saying payment not made when it had, telephone numbers listed on site not working, ‘portal’ hiccups. ‘c£2000 Prizes’ are vouchers for attending Golf Pairs’ own events (not explained in advance publicity on Instagram and website). At event better organisation but language of some competitors outside clubhouse was offensive and disrespectful of their hosts and fellow competitors including women. Welcome staff (free lance) were efficient, reassuring and helpful. Club’s Starter friendly and welcoming. But overall, I’ll stick to Club Comps via Golf Empire in future.
Thank Golf Pairs for replying but offensive language had nothing to do with my rating. Overall admin was the problem, but am glad that you are addressing some of the problems. We shouldn’t need to read through terms and conditions to know the actual prizes. I’ve now put it behind me and we’re into the new year. I’m surprised it took so long to reply to my review though. I notice too that there are no term and conditions re prizes before you go to pay. Surely that info should be openly available beforehand? ‘£1000s of prizes’ is misleading.

According to one of the replies from Mizuno pairs to a review in 2022 the monitory value of prises won can be combined and used for future events, and they never run out.
I would have to disagree with that as recently I contacted mizuno pairs about some vouchers me and a friend won at plye and kenfig in 2022, their reply to me was the vouchers only last for a year. Eventually they said on two separate occasions we will e mail your vouchers by the end of the day, both times nothing arrived in our e mails. So I've given up with them.
They probably are right in saying they never run out, but if you don't even get them they're worth nothing anyway

Played in the Cornwall event this weekend
Just wanted to say thanks to all the staff .
Especially Claire & Tony on the check in desk which couldn’t help enough . Great week we will be back

Well organised event.

Played a few events now. Always well run and great value for money. Would recommend.

Great event, well run and friendly staff throughout! Vouchers are a great prize it allows us to play more events and some incredible golf courses I may not be able to get to play normally.

Great couple of days on the south coast playing Stoneham & Hayling.
We got washed out unfortunately first day but Hayling was superb.
Most of our group due to the weather only got to play the front nine at Stoneham but the guys have got us rain check vouchers to come back within the year which is fantastic. The running of the events are seamless and are a great day out … highly recommend

Have played in a lot of their events over the last few years. I've enjoyed them all, particularly the multi day events, which are an easy way to put a "tour" together for a group. I've played some great courses for a reasonable price. Just in Woodhall Spa at the moment and recently played St Mellion - both on my bucket list.

I played in an event in Royal Porthcawl in 2023. The price of this event was around £160 per person which we understood as Porthcawl is a fantastic course and venue. However I just wanted to give golfers my views on how the day was organised. When we turned up we were told we had to have a 3 course meal before we played as the kitchen would be closed when we finished.

Next we went to get our cards and the organiser asked us to enter the comps for the day including 2s sweep and Nearest to the pin etc. The cost was £20 per golfer and when I asked what the prizes would be I was told it can be used on credit for balls or accessories. I had a 2 on the day and received £33 credit but was then told this could only be used as credit for another event. Which is hard to arrange due to work commitments. This year I tried to use the link and this link would not work and I have received an email saying I can use it on another event,

Just seems to me that this event doesn’t want to pay out for prizes but happy to take your money and lie to you during the events.

Be careful when entering

The entire team at Mizuno golf pairs were superb from booking right through to event completion. I booked 3 events for 16 guys over 4 days. Our first track was Brora... due to a late Easyjet flight we missed our tee times. The events team on site and the golf club managed to squeeze us in among the later visitor tee times and even stuck around until we had completed our round. We also played Fortrose and Castle Stuart. The hosting of these events was brilliant. Organising for 16 guys could of been a headache but the team were an excellent support for me. Communication from start to finish was spot on. We will be booking multiple events again for next year. The courses and the organisation of the actual day is first class. Thank you!

My wife and I have just played in several of the golf pairs events run by this company. They are well organised and well run with friendly staff.
They also visit some exceptional golf courses and you get to play them at a reasonable rate. We will definitely be organising more of these.

These are really well run enjoyable competitions. The staff were all really friendly and very efficient. From booking in to finalising the scores everything just ran perfectly. This is a good way to play some great courses at at a reasonable price. Will definitely be joining them again next year.

Recently played Brora. Was on my wish list to complete. Well run events at some great courses. Played multiple events across the UK, always excellent value to tick off some of the must play courses in the country.

Fantastic way to play great courses at reduced rates.
Well organised and really friendly staff on the tour.
Friendly competitors, as a mixed couple playing the comps we have played with some really great guys and im seeing more mixed couples which is great.
Highly recommended.

Happy to take your money, but no plan for when things go wrong such as weather. When people have travelled all over the country to get to these events a round at a future date is not always convenient. Get some insurance and refund like other companies.
