Golf Trip Memory: best ball playoff hole, 115 yards, sun is setting, I hit my shot to 8 feet, miss the putt, but my partner drains a downhill 45 footer for the win!

Owner & Founder

Eric Drewett

From St. Louis, Missouri – I'm a proud husband and a father of two beautiful children. I’m also an avid sports fan, handyman, and a lover of all things travel.

I first jumped onto a golf course during the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college. A $150 investment got me an "all-in-one" golf bag that at least gave me the starting point to be able to go out to the course with my friends, have a few drinks, and take all of my stress out on a tiny white ball. Needless to say, I fell in love. The sound of a well-struck iron shot, the pain of figuring out how to putt, and the euphoria of winning against my most competitive friends after hours of debauchery was indeed my jam. The spring following, I was invited on a golf trip to central Michigan with some guys much older and I had more fun than I could hoped for.

Custom Golf Trips was born out of my passion for these trips. Several years ago I came up empty-handed looking for a true “all in one” company that would not only plan everything for me but also appease my ultra competitive group with a way to bet, change up formats, and put it all on a board. Today I’m proud of what CGT provides to any group looking for more out of any golf trip. Cheers!

Golf Trip Memory: two days before I got married in New Zealand, I went out for a round at Jack’s Point – a 5 iron from 201 ended up in the hole for my first ever ace. That’s the day I peaked!

Partner

Manny Chacon

From San Antonio, Texas – I’m an avid traveler and a Chicago Bears fanatic who loves to read and work in finance when I’m not on the golf course!

I have been very fortunate that golf has taken me all over the world. From Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Japan (along with 13 other states). What I love most about the game is the camaraderie it builds while still challenging you to compete against yourself.

I spent a decade working in the Las Vegas service industry at 5 star hotels like the Wynn, Aria, and Encore. I bring a service-first mindset to creating memorable golf experiences on and off the course! I’m love helping others build memories they will never forget!
