Atlantic Canada delivers something special — dramatic coastal cliffs, historic harbors, fresh ocean air, and some of the finest seaside golf in the world.
From Halifax’s vibrant waterfront to the rolling fairways of Cape Breton and the timeless charm of Prince Edward Island, this journey blends iconic links-style courses with refined resort experiences, exceptional cuisine, and breathtaking scenery at every turn.
Yes, the golf will be spectacular.
Yes, the seafood will be thoroughly “researched.”
And yes — there may be a friendly debate or two about whose putt definitely should have broken the other way.
We’d love for you to join us.
Hi — we’re Mike and Brenda Otter.
Small-town Canadians at heart, high school sweethearts from Kelowna, British Columbia, and partners in life for 38 wonderful years. After raising two amazing children and welcoming three treasured grandchildren, we recently stepped away from our careers in wholesale distribution to begin a new chapter — one built around adventure.
GTC Golf Tour Company allows us to combine two lifelong passions: exceptional golf and meaningful travel. We believe the best trips are thoughtfully curated, beautifully paced, and centered around great people.
We guide only a select number of journeys each year, which means we’re fully invested in every detail — from world-class courses and distinctive accommodations to the shared stories and laughter that make a trip unforgettable.
Beyond golf, we share a love for the outdoors. Hockey season is taken seriously in our house. Sailing, cycling, hiking — and any excuse to be near the water — are never far behind.
We appreciate the finer things — well-designed courses, remarkable landscapes, good wine — but we also believe luxury is about comfort, connection, and enjoying each moment without taking ourselves too seriously.
We can’t wait to experience Atlantic Canada with you.
