One of the four Major Championships, the Masters is not merely regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in the world of golf, but amongst the most prestigious in the world of sport. This invitational event is the only golf Major that is held annually at the same course – Augusta National. Since 1934 the best golfers in the world have been assembled to compete for huge monetary reward, unrivalled respect within the game and of course the well-renowned Green Jacket.

Augusta National is one of the most beautiful golf courses on the planet and the Georgia spring provides a backdrop of sunny blue skies and lusciously green fairways. The abundance of the course’s trademark towering pine trees and charming azaleas adds to the picture, evoking the senses and contributing to the unique aura of the Masters.

We have created an experience for a group of clients who wish to watch the Masters live, as well as playing a round or two of golf themselves. The group will be flying business class from London to Atlanta, Georgia before checking in at the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee. Located just outside Atlanta and along the waterfront of the lake, the hotel offers 5-star luxury and serene, picturesque surroundings.

The hotel has five on-site championship golf courses and a luxury southern-routes spa as well as offering water sports on the lake. It also boasts numerous exquisite dining options which strongly reflect regional traditions and culture. Locally farmed ingredients provide the basis for southern-inspired dishes to be enjoyed alongside views of the lake and the golf courses. Other tastes are catered for if you want a break from the local cuisine and the Barrel Room provides entertainment with billiards, live music, craft cocktails and a lakeside view.

The Masters 2022 Bespoke Package

During their stay, the group will be playing two of the hotel’s five championship golf courses; The Landing and The Great Waters. The Landing was the first course to be built on the Oconee and presents a winding course through wooded areas and rolling hills, wrapping dramatically along the shores of the stunning lake. The Great Waters provides the same scenic and unspoiled setting alongside a truly challenging course that was designed by eighteen-time major champion, Jack Nicklaus.

The group will be in amongst the action on day two and three of the tournament with badge access to Augusta National and the opportunity to follow whichever golfers they choose. Breakfast will be taken at the VIP hospitality venue which is located just 200 yards from the South Gate Entrance. The hospitality facility will remain open throughout the day and provides unlimited food, a premium open bar, complimentary cigars, live music, on-demand shuttles to-and-from the course and multiple television screens ensuring our guests won’t miss any of the action.

Due to their morning round at the Great Waters, the group will watch the final day of the action in the relaxed setting of the hotel’s Barrel Room as part of one final evening of opulence at the Ritz-Carlton.

A trans-Russian train journey surrounding World Football’s biggest prize

Posted on September 24, 2020 by - Cultural, Event, Sport, Travel

Moscow World Football Championships Trip

A busy schedule shouldn’t be a barrier to exceptional experiences. During the 2018 World Football Championships in Russia, Nizhny was host to a number of group games which led to Blend Group working very closely with a group of busy business executives from Croatia, looking to support their National football team at an event that occurs only every four years.

Despite the quick turnaround, the group still wanted to experience the trip with the attention to detail and service that Blend Group is known for. The journey began in Zagreb, Croatia, where guests took a four-hour flight to Moscow, before embarking on a four-hour, first-class train trip through Western Russia, to Nizhny, a quaint city on the Volga River. The overnight train arrived in the early hours of the morning, where our guests were met by a private chauffeur, who took them straight to the five-star Sheraton Hotel.

World Football Championships

Once they were rested and refreshed, the group had time to explore the charming riverside city, before an executive transfer took them to the Stadium. Here, a private box was waiting, offering a five-hour hospitality experience, including a private waiter and exclusive access to a premium bar and food before the event. Once the game was over, the group were chauffeured back to their hotel, where they could continue the celebrations into the evening.

The next morning saw the end of the whistle-stop tour, as the group were transferred to Nizhny Airport for their return trip to Zagreb, via Moscow.

The trip might have been short, but our itinerary was able to ensure first-class service throughout, and an experience that made the game even more unforgettable.

Whether it’s an overnight stay to see a favourite sporting team, or a longer trip to take in the sights, get in touch to discuss your bespoke itinerary ideas.
