What is the main difference between Asia Golf Specialists and Golfsavers?

While Golfsavers operates on a traditional agency model, Asia Golf Specialists is a boutique 'Local Guardian' offering bespoke itineraries designed and managed by Australian expats living in Southeast Asia.

Asia Golf Specialists vs Golfsavers | Which is Right for You?

Executive Summary

Are you looking for a self-serve tee-time aggregator, or a fully curated luxury concierge experience?

When planning a golf trip to Southeast Asia, you generally have two choices: build it yourself using a booking engine, or hand the logistics over to local specialists.

Golfsavers is an excellent, highly efficient tee-time booking engine. If you are an experienced solo traveler who wants to manually coordinate your own hotels, hail your own taxis, and simply need a platform to secure a discounted green fee, they are one of the best tools on the market.

Asia Golf Specialists (AGS) is the exact opposite of a self-serve booking engine. We are a boutique concierge service operated by Australian expats living on the ground in Vietnam. We don't just book tee times; we design the entire end-to-end ecosystem of your trip. From private VIP airport transfers to securing tables at un-googleable local restaurants, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the golf.
