Our company
Daniel Newhaller, a retired corporate executive, founded Golfpac in 1975. The business evolved out of requests from Dan’s friends and business associates from the Midwest to make advance tee times for golf courses during their annual winter vacations. Initially, the requests were for the Orlando area only, but the business slowly grew to include Tampa, Miami, and a few golf resorts in other areas of Florida. Each year the volume increased, but the focus was always on the winter “in-season” traveler. Phones were actually turned off in the summer and reconnected in the fall.
In 1986, a group of investors bought Golfpac from Dan. The new management team decided to build the business into a year-round operation. By 1989, Golfpac was also offering trips throughout Florida, Scottsdale/Phoenix, and Myrtle Beach. In addition, an international division was created to handle travel to Scotland and Ireland. Through the years, domestic destinations have grown steadily to include 14 areas throughout Florida; Charleston, Hilton Head, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona; San Diego and Palm Springs, California; Alabama and Williamsburg, Virginia. Each year, Golfpac carefully chooses new and exciting destinations to offer to their wide base of proven golf travelers.
Every September, a Golf Vacation Guide is produced and mailed. These brochures are printed and mailed to existing and potential customers just after Labor Day.
The Internet has also become an extremely valuable marketing and customer-service tool. Golfpac’s extensive website — www.golfpactravel.com — constantly changes and improves to meet industry demands and customer needs. Visitors to the website can now research where they want to stay and play, view online specials and packages, create their own custom quotes, and make reservations online. The website also offers special features such as “MyTrip,” where confirmed passengers can view all aspects of their reservation including hotel confirmations, rooming lists, tee times, payments, package descriptions, etc. Each reservation booked with Golfpac receives access to a private “MyTrip” website. Travelers love this unique feature!
In 2016, Golfpac Travel was acquired by Adam Wachter and Marc Bender, two experienced entrepreneurial businessmen with a history in Golf Travel and long-standing passionate golfers. Their passion for golf and travel, merged with the excellent cultural fit with the staff at Golfpac made the transition seamless.
Over its 44-year history, Golfpac has grown from a seasonal mom-and-pop business to the largest golf travel company in the US with over 40 employees. The company maintains its headquarters in Longwood, Florida.
