This was the best - and best organized - golf trip that I've ever been on.

Hawes Partners handled the hassles and the hiccups and delivered an exceptional experience with truly memorable golf courses and a range of other interesting stops and events. It was so great to be able to focus on fun while someone else expertly handles the details and logistics!

The trip was awesome, more than I bargained for!

What a great group of lads. All kinds of characters. As for the organizing done by yourself and your prize bride, it was top shelf. My father told me when I was young it's the people that you meet as you go around that makes living worthwhile. The trip was proof of that. Those connections and time spent will never be forgotten.

This was a trip of a lifetime...

Providing participants with unique golfing experiences paired with a clearer understanding of the political and social events that framed the last century in Northern Ireland. The staff were universally friendly and supportive... great opportunities to interact with a wonder mix of people and gain a better understanding of the country and its people.

The golf trip to Northern Ireland was an epic golf trip.

It had a nice balance of golf and non golf activities and you and Cristin did an exceptional job of organizing the logistics and handling bags and hotel and bus which went smoothly from our perspective. Hoping to participate again some time.

Our recent golf trip to Ireland was an unforgettable experience.

Thanks to the exceptional organization and local expertise provided throughout. We had the privilege of playing at some of Ireland’s finest courses, including Seapoint Golf, Scrabo Golf, Royal Belfast, Castlerock Golf, and The Strand in Portstewart. Each course offered its own unique challenges and stunning landscapes, from the breathtaking views at Royal Belfast to the rugged beauty of Castlerock.The trip was flawlessly organized, with seamless logistics and top-notch tours that enhanced our experience. The local knowledge shared by our guides added another layer of enjoyment, offering insights into the history, culture, and hidden gems of each area.This trip exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend it to any golf enthusiast looking for a memorable Irish golf getaway.

Our Trips are Escorted Tours that are pre-arranged with fixed itineraries for groups of 12-20 guests. Our escorted trips provide an excellent opportunity for small groups, individuals and couples to join a group of like-minded new friends for a relaxed experience supported by drivers and guides with a menu of inclusive meals and sightseeing activities.

If you want to travel 3,500 miles only to meet your fellow countrymen, certainly play the “bucket list” courses. You will over pay, and you will have bragging rights to having bought into all the marketing that has been thrown at you over the years. You’ll also have the chance to meet a couple of great guys from Texas, a guy from New Jersey, and a bit-of-an-arse from Schenectady.

Or, you can play where the Irish folks play and meet some truly amazing folks.

With almost 400 courses in Ireland, we have personally played and carefully selected courses with character that give you a true Irish experience. We look for personality in our courses. Coastal scenery on links courses, rise to spectacular heights on the highest elevation course in Ireland, beautiful parkland courses... and more links... most of which you have never heard of. These are the courses Irish people play!

Each of our foursomes is equipped with a Forecaddie to help you navigate the course, find errant balls, and generally be your personal insight to the local area.
