Premium Choice Golf Holidays · Our story
Travel has always been a family affair.
Premium Choice Golf Holidays is part of Premium Choice Travel — a family-owned travel company in Dubai.
Premium Choice Travel is a family-owned travel company built on something increasingly rare in our industry: real experience, personal relationships and genuine care for the people who travel with us.
At the heart of the business is Paul Farrell, whose career in travel stretches back four decades. Long before online booking engines, algorithms and endless comparison websites became the norm, Paul was building holidays through knowledge, relationships and personal service. Over the years, he has travelled extensively, worked across the industry and helped generations of customers discover the world.
That experience has become part of the Farrell family story.
Paul’s wife has also spent the beginning of her career within the travel industry before spending the last 24 years within a well known school in Dubai, giving the family a shared understanding of what makes a great holiday — and, just as importantly, what can go wrong when the details are overlooked.
Their son has followed the same path, building his own career in travel and tourism in the UAE and continuing a family connection with the industry that now spans generations.

Where we come from
British roots. Dubai home. A world of experience.
The Farrell family has a longstanding connection with Dubai and the UAE, while retaining the British roots that continue to shape the way we approach our customers.
We understand expat life because we have lived it ourselves.
We know that a golf trip runs to its own rhythm. Tee times matter more than check-in times. The group has a spread of handicaps and one very fixed idea about which courses are non-negotiable. Someone needs their clubs to arrive, someone else does not play at all, and the flight home has to be after the last round rather than during it. From the UAE it is winter golf on your doorstep and long summer evenings in Scotland or Portugal when Dubai gets hot.
That local understanding matters.
Rather than simply showing you thousands of hotels and leaving you to work everything out yourself, we help you make the right choice.
Our name
That’s why we’re called Premium Choice.
For us, “Premium” does not necessarily mean the most expensive hotel, a first-class ticket or five-star luxury.
It means a better choice.
- ✦The right courses for your group.
- ✦The right tee times, in the right order.
- ✦The right hotel — on the course or near the town.
- ✦The right buggy, caddie and club-carriage arrangements.
- ✦The right time of year to play.
- ✦And people you can actually speak to when you need help.
We combine decades of traditional travel experience with modern technology, carefully selected partners and a growing collection of journeys around the world.
But technology will never replace the most important part of our business: knowing our customers.
From our family to yours
We want Premium Choice Travel to feel like having someone in the travel industry you know and trust.
Someone you can message and say:
“We’re thinking about the Algarve in October — which courses should we play?”
Someone who remembers that your group plays off the back tees, that one of you would rather be at the spa, that you like to eat where the locals do, or that last year the first tee time was far too early.
Someone who is there before, during and after your holiday.
Because after a lifetime in travel, one thing has never changed:
The best golf trips aren’t booked. They’re carefully chosen.
