Which of the following best describes the golf experiences you are looking for on your trip?

Golf on the most famous shrines, lots of crowds and action, we don't mind being around other tourists
"Hidden Gems" in beautiful settings off the beaten path, three hour rounds, golf in peace and solitude, get to meet the locals
"Hidden Gems" near the famous courses, close to the action, but away from the most expensive green fees
Both famous courses and some "Hidden Gems" in a more compact area
Both famous courses and some "Hidden Gems," we are willing to cover a lot of territory and spend a lot of time on the road, whatever it takes

How many days off will you be taking for sightseeing?

None (we are here to play golf)
One, arrival day only (we want to recover from the trip before hitting the links)
Two, including arrival day
Every other day (we want to see the sights)

Which of the following accommodation and ground travel schedule appeals most to your group?

Fewer hotel switches with moderate ground travel, some 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hour drives each way to the courses (we don't like packing and unpacking)
More frequent hotel changes, stay closer to the courses, cover a lot of territory (we like to experience a variety of different towns and pubs/19th holes)
One hotel the entire time with little driving, nothing more than an hour or so each way (it’s OK if we miss a few courses that are too far)

How important are the Pubs?

Very important, pubs must be within walking distance or a short taxi/hotel shuttle
Not important, we'll spend more time on other activities
Somewhere in between, we enjoy having a pint but that's not why we're going

What type of accommodations are you seeking?

Locally-owned B&Bs with clean and comfortable rooms (we call these the Hidden Links "4-Pint" Guest Houses)
3-to-4-star tourist hotels, generally with a good bar and restaurant, with fewer "local" staff
Locally-owned, traditional, atmospheric country houses and small hotels (many of which are Hidden Links "5-Cask" experiences)
5-star Luxury hotels and deluxe castles (the finest accommodations with world-class spas, gourmet restaurants, and every possible amenity)
A combination of B&Bs, country houses/small hotels, and luxury hotels

What rooming arrangements do you prefer?

Single rooms throughout (we want our own rooms if they are available)
An occasional single room if it fits our budget (we could use a break from the snoring)
Twin/double rooms throughout (we don't mind sharing to keep the cost down)

What room category are you looking for?

Standard Rooms (just get us into the hotel, we don't need a view)
Superior/Deluxe Rooms (more expensive than standard rooms, generally the only difference is a view of the course or the sea)
Junior suites (substantial upgrades, not quite the best rooms but getting close, these will offer additional space and/or a sitting area)
Presidential suites and similar (give us the finest and most expensive rooms possible no matter what the price!)

What is your ground transportation preference?

Self-drive car or minivan(s), manual transmission (less expensive than automatic transmission)
Self-drive car or minivan(s), automatic transmission
Minivan (maximum 4 passengers) with a driver, or point-to-point prescheduled transfers if they work logistically (we're not driving on the left!)
Deluxe Hidden Links "Members Lounge/19th Hole (SM)" motorcoach with concierge-driver

What is a realistic, approximate per person budget for golf, accommodation, and ground transportation (NOT including airfare), or an average between golfer/nongolfer?

$3000 or less
$4000
$5000
$6000
$7000 or whatever it takes

Which of the following is more important?

Meeting the budget (cut out whatever is necessary)
Meeting our desired experience and playing most of the courses we want to play (try to meet our budget but we are flexible if need be)
