REDEFINING GOLF TRAVEL

The 19th Golf Escapes blends exceptional courses with immersive cultural experiences around the world.

Created from a simple idea: that golf is more than a game, it’s a gateway to unforgettable experiences, The 19th Golf Escapes was founded by Omaha locals Peter and Megan Cook. The boutique travel company brings a fresh, thoughtful perspective to luxury golf travel, offering small-group tours designed for golfers, non-golfers, and solo travellers alike.

Having developed deep connections and a love of the area over the past five years, through both golf and the local community, Peter and Megan set out to connect like- minded people through exceptional courses, culture, and camaraderie. They design trips that honour both the thrill of playing these courses and the pleasure of exploring the culture that surrounds them.

Peter, a lifelong golfer and five-time amateur competitor in the New Zealand Open, highlighted by a memorable hole-in-one on the iconic 16th at The Hills in 2019, leads with passion, sharing his knowledge and stories – and a memorable 19th hole. With an eye for outstanding course design and an operations background, Peter designs golfing itineraries that blend challenge and interest – in the world’s most desirable locations.

Megan, a recent convert to the game, brings a fresh energy while drawing on her background in event creation to shape The 19th’s curated Partners Programmes – immersive experiences designed for non-golfing travellers to enjoy a journey every bit as special as those on the fairway. She thrives on creating unforgettable moments which facilitate new connections in stunning locations.

Their next feature journey in March 2026 explores Vietnam’s central coast, with travellers based in Da Nang and playing the region’s premier courses, complemented by luxury beachfront stays and warm local hospitality – a snapshot of the kind of balanced, immersive travel The 19th is known for.

The 19th Golf Escapes continues to grow, guided by a simple ethos: the world’s finest golf shared in remarkable places.
