Home to more than 100 top courses, this ultimate golf vacation spot also boasts a bevy of beautiful hotels, every imaginable cuisine at more than 3000 restaurants, and all the cultural trappings a traveler could want - from museums and sports to performing arts, shopping and gaming. And in surrounding Victoria, a countryside of coastal villages, sprawling vineyards, beaches and rainforests, is abound with adventures and experiences that make golf just one more reason to visit Melbourne.
In an effort to help tourists experience the President’s Cup and other adventures Melbourne has to offer, Goway Travel, North America's oldest and largest travel company specializing in travel to Australia, is offering a few special packages:

To narrow the field, Goway has created a selection of two, three and five-day post-golf touring options.

About The Presidents Cup
The Presidents Cup, a team match play competition featuring 24 of the world’s top golfers – 12 from the United States and 12 from around the world, excluding Europe – is held every two years, and since 1996 has alternated between United States and international venues. The Presidents Cup is a unique golf event in that there is no purse or prize money. Players are not personally paid for their participation, rather each competitor allocates an equal portion of the funds generated to charities of his choice. Since the event’s inception, nearly $22 million has been raised for charities around the world, including a record-tying $4.2 million in 2009. www.PresidentsCup.com
