TOUR HOST(S)
AINSLIE SAUNDERS
Name
Ainslie Saunders
Role
Founder & Managing Director
Where do you live?
Southern Highlands, NSW Australia
Which Golf Club are you a member at?
Moss Vale Golf Club
Handicap
34 – I’m in the office more than I’m out on the course!
What is the best golf club you’ve ever played at?
It’s so hard to choose! I’m been fortunate enough to play on so many amazing courses…. Finca Cortesin in Spain was amazing, especially when the drinks cart came around to our group to give everyone cups of chilled Gazpacho. Mauna Lani Golf Club’s South Course on the Big Island in Hawaii is spectacular too.
Which club is on your bucket list to play?
Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand
What do you enjoy the most about hosting tours?
Meeting all the new people who come on our tours, getting to know each person and seeing the friendships that develop between everyone. I love hearing about those friendships growing outside of the tours too. We have lots of repeat guests, and when they book on another of our tours, with a friend that they made on a previous G&T trip, that really is just so special.
What do you love the most about travelling?
I love experiencing different cultures. I travel to see how different life is in other places, but what I’ve learnt is how similar we all are.
What do you think are the most important attributes of a Tour Host?
A Tour Hosts’ role is to create an extraordinary travel experience. They need to be well organised, calm, fun, engaging and inclusive.
What do you do when you’re not hosting tours?
I am the Founder and Managing Director of Golf & Tours. If I’m not hosting a tour, you’re likely to find me in the office. I love gardening, and spend as much time as I can in our garden.
Tell us a bit about yourself
I am a mother, wife, aunty, sister, daughter and a seasoned traveller. I love my family and was very lucky to have been raised in a family who valued the education that travelling can bring. I have tried to pass that on to my daughter too, and have taken her to many places around the globe. I love travelling like a local, and always prefer to have authentic experiences. I’m always asking locals that I meet to tell me where they go to eat and drink.
Testimonials for Ainslie
… Ainslie – you are a brilliant host and communicator and I can honestly say you make G&T the success it is because of all your hard work in the preparation beforehand and the email communication leading up to. It was a very easy tour for the clients – and a holiday. Thank You. Robyn, Melbourne, VIC
…The 2022 Hawaii Golf Tour was beyond compare. Even as a relatively new golfer (and high handicapper) I had a great time golfing on some really challenging courses. I’ve never had so many laughs trying to get my ball out of a bunker or saying goodbye to my ball as it bounced off volcanic rock or sailed into the beautiful pacific ocean. Ainslie and her team provided exceptional service and clearly love Hawaii as much as I now do. Michelle, Dubbo, NSW
…Ainslie is an exceptional host. The courses we played on were challenging with water, sand and trees but still totally enjoyed them. The accommodation was 5 star, villas beautiful and clean, great dining and staff very helpful and obliging. Could not be happier with Golf & Tours and highly recommend that you go on a journey with Ainslie. Looking forward to further tours. Donna, Moree, NSW
…The Spain & Portugal golf tour was my first solo golf tour and also my first time to Europe, so to say I was nervous is a understatement, upon meeting Ainslie and Tiff, any trepidation that I felt was immediately vanished. They both are such warm, funny and intelligent women who empower other women to be the best that they can be. There is nothing that Ainslie & Tiff wouldn’t do to ensure that we had the most wonderful experience. Asides from the golf the other activities that were included in the tour were outstanding.

What do you enjoy the most about your role with Golf & Tours?
I thoroughly enjoy planning our tours, learning about new destinations (in the hope to one day travel there) and help people achieve their dreams of travelling to world class, bucket list destinations. I love that I am able to work so closely with our incredible tour hosts and get to talk with our guests throughout their entire experience with us. We are always striving to create wonderful connections between guests which is so important. It is wonderful to witness new and genuine friendships develop off the back of travelling with us.
What do you enjoy the most about hosting tours?
Meeting new people, travelling to great destinations and have a wonderful time. For me seeing and feeling the beautiful connections everyone makes is so special, in todays’ world, feeling connected, and important, is vital to our well-being and to be able to play a part in making someone feel wonderful, feel looked after and cared for is very important to me.
What do you love the most about travelling?
Exploring new destinations and immersing yourself in a difference culture is wonderful. People love to connect, and no matter where you are, this doesn’t really change. Oh and of course….. who can go past all of the glorious food!
What do you think are the most important attributes of a Tour Company?
A reputable and trustworthy reputation along with a well organised, well planned and executed experience is essential. We like our guests to not have to worry about any of the planning, to know they can just turn up and we have the everything covered. Safety is of the utmost importance to us, so we ensure we have fully researched our destinations. It is also imperative that the guests and hosts have support when they need it, and we ensure that is always available.
What do you do when you’re not hosting tours?
My role at Golf & Tours also covers the operations of the business. This means you will often find me at the end of an email or the end of the phone! I thoroughly enjoy working with all our suppliers, and our team to deliver a great guest experience. When you finally get to meet someone after only speaking over email or phone, it like catching up with a long lost friend!
Tell us a bit about yourself
I live along the northern beaches of Perth, in Western Australia with my family which consists of my partner, 2 children, 2 dogs and 7 chickens! You will often find us down at the beach (not the chickens) or on a great road trip. WA has so many beautiful places to travel too, I am not sure if we will ever see it all. I am originally from Tasmania and have lived in many places along the east coast of Australia. WA is definitely home for me now though, although I would always consider migrating north for the winter! I have recently started golf lessons and can absolutely see why everyone loves it so much. I can’t wait to get on the course and start honing my new skills.

This is my second tour with Golf & Tours. I would highly recommend their escorted tours. Everything is professionally organised and one feels confident travelling with them. I feel my golf has improved immensely and I am looking forward to my next tour, Well done!

Our golf trip to Portugal & Spain was a fabulous experience. All the arrangements made for us were first class, from hotels to restaurants to the buses in which we were transported. The tour leader was an amazing woman who somehow managed to keep tabs on all of us with a smile and boundless ener...

I honestly couldn’t fault this golf tour run by Golf & Tours. From pick up at the airport, the initial meet and greet night with drinks and canapes, the communication through the free WhatsApp chat detailing everything we needed to know and more. To be able to have our golf bags taken care...

Women’s Italy Tour
I had the most amazing time on the Italian golf tour, the company was great, the golf courses were sensational, the non-golf activities that were organised were well thought out and the accommodation was brilliant. Will definitely be booking another golf holiday with Golf & Tours.

Portugal & Spain Tour
The Spain & Portugal golf tour was my first solo golf tour and also my first time to Europe, so to say I was nervous is a understatement, upon meeting the hosts any trepidation that I felt was immediately vanished. They are such warm, funny and intelligent women who empower other women to be the...

Women’s Hawaii Tour
I have never been treated so well on a tour! I joined as a single with a high handicap (34) and still felt included. The courses were stunning, the food and beverages amazing and I smiled the entire trip. This was my first Golf & Tour experience, but it won’t be my last!”
