About Us
Jason Scarth - President, Britannia Golf
We specialize in customized golf programs and tours to Europe, USA, Canada
and the Caribbean. We are also the official booking operator for the famous
Arctic Open golf tournament, in Akureyri, Iceland that takes place every
year on the world’s most northern golf course. Yes Iceland, believe it or not
Iceland has quite a few championship golf courses! During the summer months you
can play golf 24 hours a day.
Being a smaller golf tour operator, Britannia Golf works very closely and
carefully with each individual client’s to create their own customized golf
itinerary. We can arrange something as simple as a self drive tour for 2 or more
golfers, your own personal driver/guide and deluxe coach for larger groups and
we also offer a few escorted tours each year.
Jason Scarth heads up Britannia Golf. He was born and raised in Glasgow,
Scotland until 1982 when he moved to Virginia with his family. Being from
Scotland he has a great familiarity with all the great courses overseas and can
arrange for you to play on some of the most famous links courses in the world
and or steer you toward some of the great hidden gems that many people never get
to play. Jason has played in the Arctic Open 5 times and can give you a more
visual sense of what it is like to play golf during the midnight sun.
Jason currently serves on the board of The North American Golf Tour Operators
Alliance (NAGTOA) and is Vice President of The West Richmond Businessmen’s
Association. When not working Jason likes to spend time with his family and 2
children (Dylan and Keri), relaxing at the bay, travelling and enjoying the
outdoors. Email –
