Testimonials

“Yesterday saw us host our annual BMW Park Lane golf day at the wonderful Burhill Golf Club. It’s the perfect venue to celebrate the good ongoing relationships we have with our clients and business partners who  choose us to work with. Our golf day wouldn’t be complete without the support of both Nick de Villiers and Jill de Villiers who are both incredible ambassadors for the sport and our business but also are incredibly warm and engaging hosts and bring our event to life. Their support is greatly appreciated

Chris Learmonth, Managing Director BMW Park Lane, London 15th June, 2023.

A big thank you to JdV Sport for the new Titleist TSR woods/irons and my new FootJoy Premier series shoes. Great customer service and experience throughout. Excited for the summer season! 

Chris P, Executive Director Private Wealth, February, 2023

“Thanks again to Nick and Jill for our most recent golf day experience at the beautiful Berkshire Golf Club. Our sixty guests were delighted with the level of detail that went into every aspect of the golf day. Our clients had without doubt the very best golf day we have ever held and we will look forward to many more with JdV Sport. We have been working with JdV Sport since 2017 and we went with the full JdV Sport golf experience service which included venue sourcing/ negotiation, event organisation and competition management. We especially liked the hosting and Q&A’s of the presentations from Nick and Jill with our special guests. Working with Nick and Jill has made running the golf days an enjoyable experience for us and our clients”. 

Julie, Global Events Manager, June 2022

“We have just attended Stoke Park Country Club, Hotel and Spa for one of the last events before the hotel closure for refurbishment. Without doubt Jill and Nick have provided us with one of the very best Corporate Golf events we have held in the UK. JdV Sport put the extra details into our golf events to deliver the highest standards. The team at JdV Sport uniquely create special golfing experiences and we are particular impressed with the level of service considering the difficult business conditions following the pandemic. We are very much looking forward to working with JdV Sport on our UK and European events in 2022 including both golf experiences and business conferences for our teams.”

“Dear Nick and Jilly
Thanks again for all of your help. Really great service which is one of the reasons I came to you in the first place to book our latest anniversary celebration to the Gleneagles Hotel. We are very much looking forward to our golf, spa and dining experiences in May and will be sure to pass on the good word about JdV Sport to our family and friends, we will be in touch for any future trips soon.
Looking forward to getting in some golf finally!”
 Rob, March 2021

“We have been attending JdV Sport events since 2017 and have seen the way Jill and Nick bring unique golfing experiences to life. My firm really like the way that we can attend both indoor and outdoor golfing experiences depending on the time of year or occasion. The team at JdV Sport make sure that everyone is involved and often allocate us into teams and this has been a great way to build team spirit and introduce new people into our corporate teams.

Following seeing this we decided to engage JdV Sport to run our corporate business conferences at hotels across the UK and Europe, they know how to structure the optimal amount of business meetings/ presentations combined with golfing activities and other team building activities. Through their hotel relationships worldwide they have also negotiated improved rates and more importantly to us, a personal service to our corporate and leadership teams. We now hope our next business conference week in Germany with JdV Sport in 2021 will be a success post Covid – 19.”

Clive, Jan 2021

“I had the pleasure of meeting Nick and Jill at one of the JdV Sport “Golf in the City” events in 2015. They have now been our corporate partner for all our golf events and experiences ever since! They have consistently delivered exceptional levels of detail in their approach to our venue requirements and most importantly, to our clients from around the world. We have used their corporate clothing services to personalise our goodie bags to make sure our events exceed our client expectations. We look forward to a series of events in 2020 with the JdV Sport team, with our first international event in Germany. Thanks again for all the support in helping us deliver this year.”

Justin, Partner. December 2019

“Just had the most wonderful few days away courtesy of Jill and Nick, playing some of the most iconic courses in Scotland. Our trip was seamless from start to finish with our hosts never missing a beat; everything from transfers through to the stunning Old Course hotel and everything in between was perfectly organised, allowing us to fully submerse ourselves in this magical golfing experience. A highly recommended golf experience provider with a genuine personal touch.”

“My wife and I have been on many golf trips but this golfing and spa experience hosted by Jill, Nick and the JdV Sport team was truly the most incredible golfing experience of my life, the organisation, the group of people, golf courses and overall experience has been something I will never forget. I hope to share many more with the JdV Sport team”
