My name is Jason Kauflin and I have been a professional golf tour operator since 2015. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and my wife and I moved to Wisconsin a few years after we had graduated from college and got married. If you are wondering why you are reading about a guy that lives in Wisconsin about a potential trip to Reno-Tahoe, I encourage you to read on. When you are good at what you do in my industry, these things happen…

My fascination with golf trips started in 2001 when I talked three buddies into flying out to Mesquite, Nevada for a three day golf trip. We had so much fun that we invited a few more guys the next year. What is now known as the Kauflin Invitational was off and running! The trip grew into a large scale operation with over 40 participants on a couple of occassions. What started with a love for golf, and an equal interest in hanging out with my buddies, turned into a passion for planning the perfect golf trip. I handle every detail involved with organizing the trip and have gotten very good at it over the years. I get to know the general managers, pros, and staff at each course that I work with, and that effort is reflected in how my groups are treated.

For years I had considered trying to turn my passion for booking golf trips into a viable business.  In 2015 I decided to jump in head first and started Wisconsin Golf Trips, the state’s only inbound tour operator service. I work with groups of all shapes and sizes from all over the world to execute custom stay & play packages for courses like Whistling Straits, Erin Hills, Blackwolf Run and Sand Valley. Many groups that have come to Wisconsin appreciate how I operate and a natural question that comes up is “Where ELSE can you take us?”. So my focus on offering other quality outbound destinations has become a priority for me as well.

In 2017 a good friend of mine took over as host at one of the Reno casinos. He told me I needed to see what the area had to offer and he helped me get invited on a Golf Media trip where I was exposed to numerous areas and golf courses in the Reno market. I was quite simply blown away. I always had thought of Reno as a vacation spot with that one course the celebrities always play. I had no idea how many AMAZING golf courses sit within an hour of downtown Reno. I am embarrassed to admit how many times I have been back to Reno since that maiden trip, but let’s just say I consider it my home away from home.

There is absolutely NOTHING I enjoy more than a satisfied customer.  Allow me use my knowledge and experience to plan the ultimate Reno-Tahoe golf trip for you. I have the course contacts, lodging research, and transportation options all lined up. All you have to do is tell me what kind of trip you are looking for, and I will make it happen. My goal is to provide you with an itinerary that works no matter what your budget or group size. I very much look forward to working with you.
