Britannia Golf works very closely and carefully with each individual client to create their own customized golf itinerary. We can arrange something as simple as a self-drive tour for 2 or more golfers, to your own personal driver/guide and deluxe coach for larger groups and we also offer a few escorted tours each year.

Henry Watkins
MANAGING MEMBER
A native Arkansan that moved to the St. Louis area in 1980 and has been there since. He is a freelance entrepreneur that relies on his 25 years in banking and technology to fool most of the people most of the time. The spirit moves him to play bad golf at a moment’s notice.
His love for the game has taken him to many parts of the world to play golf, eat well and rest peacefully before going to the next round. He is a managing member of HLWatkins, LLC, an active downhill skier and outdoor enthusiast.
From the first tee at the Old Course in St. Andrews to getting a tip of the hat from Tiger Woods for a great shot in a pro-am event – Henry relishes getting to the next round and the stories it will bring.
