Planning a great golfing vacation is no easy task, that's why we are here to take the pressure off you!

Our Process

Planning Your
Trip

So, you are ready to start planning that golf vacation to Ireland but are wondering what you need to consider? Well, you might be surprised to learn, there is actually quite a lot. The basics of where, when and how will dominate your initial thoughts, but there is a multitude of other factors to think about. We will provide you with an insight as well as advice as to what else you need to consider before you leave home. The devil is in the detail. What about arriving a day or so early to get over the worst of the jetlag and be 100% ready for that 1st tee. Had you considered shipping your golf clubs ahead to avoid running the gauntlet of those dreaded connecting flights? What about caddies? Celebration dinners? Shall we go on . . . ?

Tours &
Sightseeing

There is usually an opportunity to experience something away from the golf course on at least one or two days of your golf trip with the right planning. You might be traveling from Lahinch to Ballybunion for example, along the Wild Atlantic Way, and have time to stop off at the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, or when in Dublin you could take a tour of the Guinness Storehouse or see the ancient Book of Kells. If Killarney is your base, it is virtually impossible to miss the Ring of Kerry on route to your golf course.

Pubs &
Restaurants

The British and Irish in particular have always done traditional fish and chips very well and we produce Guinness and Whisk(e)y better than anywhere else in the world. But, it is the growth of indigenous ales and lagers, micro-brewery’s and home-produced gin’s that have taken over in these parts in the last ten years in particular. There are more Michelin star restaurants in Belfast for example, per head of population, than anywhere else in Europe, and the food scene across the island of Ireland and the UK is flourishing.

Stages of Planning

There are essentially three stages to the planning process for your golf vacation, and we will walk you through each of them. These conversations are not exhaustive, but they will undoubtedly give you an idea as to what you and your fellow travelers need to be considering when thinking about that golf vacation to Ireland of Scotland.
