About Destination Fairways
Destination Fairways® was founded on a shared passion for golf, travel, and discovering what makes each destination unique.
We specialize in planning and hosting golf familiarization (FAM) trips that connect destinations with golf and travel media. By combining firsthand travel experience, thoughtful itinerary development, and personalized hosting, we help destination partners showcase not just their golf courses, but the people, culture, and experiences that make their locations memorable.
Our goal is simple: create exceptional experiences that inspire meaningful stories and lasting relationships.
Meet the Founders
Abbey Algiers & Eric Fowler
Destination Fairways brings together our shared enthusiasm for golf, travel, and discovering exceptional destinations.
Through our golf travels and participation in familiarization trips, we’ve experienced firsthand what makes a destination memorable—and what visiting golf and travel media need to tell compelling stories.
We founded Destination Fairways to bring that perspective to thoughtfully planned and personally hosted FAM experiences. We believe successful trips are built on careful preparation, strong destination partnerships, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality.
Experience That Makes a Difference

Her firsthand experience exploring destinations, connecting with tourism partners, and developing travel stories helps shape FAM experiences that give visiting writers meaningful opportunities to discover and showcase each destination.
Abbey understands what makes a destination compelling to both media professionals and their audiences, helping bridge the gap between destination marketing goals and authentic storytelling.
Eric Fowler — Operations & Destination Experiences
With 25 years of experience in IT applications leadership and a decade in higher education, Eric brings a strong background in planning, organization, problem-solving, and managing complex activities.
An avid golfer and travel enthusiast, Eric combines his professional leadership experience with firsthand golf destination knowledge to help coordinate and host memorable FAM trips.
His focus on logistics, attention to detail, and guest experience helps ensure that destination partners and visiting media can concentrate on making meaningful connections and enjoying everything a destination has to offer.
Our Approach
We believe the most successful golf FAM trips begin with understanding each destination’s unique story and objectives. We work closely with tourism organizations, golf destinations, and resort partners to develop thoughtful itineraries that highlight exceptional golf while showcasing the experiences, people, and culture that make each location special.
Our approach is collaborative, detail-oriented, and personal. From initial planning through on-site hosting and post-trip coordination, we strive to create seamless experiences for our partners and visiting media—building relationships that extend well beyond the trip itself.
