12 Days, 11 Nights
It is important to note that while everything is booked, events beyond our control may make some activities subject to revision.
Cost:
Golfer - C$9999 (inc. HST)
Non-playing guest (sharing room with golfer) - C$4999 (inc. HST)
Typically between 12-20 golfers. This gives each group a great diversity of personalities, but is not overwhelming.
We also do our best to vet our guests. The magic of our trips is that each guest who joins wants to have the time of their lives! That positive energy drives the experience, we just facilitate that experience.
Absolutely. There is a small premium for non-golfing guests staying in the same room as a golfer. Their itinerary includes additional tours and excursions while golfers are on the links.
What does that entail? Depending on the Tour destinations, and number of non-golfing guests, it could include spa treatments, shopping excursions, art, and other local cultural excursions.
While each trip follows a similar format; they are all unique in that we play different courses, visit different towns, and see different sights. There is some cross-over, particularly with Belfast and Dublin, however the nature of repeat business and returning guests is that we need to not just rinse and repeat, but offer a fresh perspective crafting an itinerary that hits just the right note based on our guests' needs and requests.
Ireland has close to 400 golf courses. Unlike the US and Canada, all courses are accessible – there are not purely private clubs. We are dedicated to providing you a genuine Irish golf experience that is affordable. In addition, we can almost guarantee rain and wind for the complete experience. That’s how good we are!
Yes, however to avoid disruption, we encourage guests to arrive the day prior to the actual trip commencement. We have included this night's accommodation in our fees. Please note all transportation must leave on-time. Out of respect to all, please be prompt.
Luckily, we have accounted for this! You are likely arriving a day before the actual trip. This will give you time to acclimate and see a few sights. Should an unexpected delay happen, we will adapt. We will either send someone to pick you up to join the tour in progress, or let you know how to catch up with us easily and most economically. Please note any additional costs due to late arrival, regardless of reason, is the responsibility of the individual(s).
You are not alone. Most of the restaurants, golf courses, and hotels we patronize have menu options that can accommodate different diets. As each person and establishment is unique, we cannot promise you’ll like everything :)
Neither are we. You can take in all the sights, including pubs, and music and drink as little as you like of soft drinks, alcohol or dairy products. There is a brilliant non-alcoholic Guiness to enjoy ;)
This is not a Pro Tour. The courses are challenging, likely more challenging than most you have played. We are here to experience and enjoy.
We do ask that you:
1) Hit from appropriate tees.
2) Maintain a pace of play. Max strokes of Double Par on any hole. After that pick up and proceed. The average scores range from mid 80s to high teens. This trip is for all!
We provide Forecaddies. This means while you are responsible for your own bag, the Forecaddie will give you direction on where to hit, help find your ball, and provide valuable course knowledge. Trust us, this is a must. Should you wish to have a private caddie, that can be arranged at an additional cost.
Most tips are included in your cost, however, there are a number of services that operate on a cash basis only. These include the caddies, tour guides, and bus drivers etc. Some folks actually over tip while others do not tip at all. To eliminate the burden and awkwardness, we collect a tip fund. It is a reasonable amount from each guest to cover those expenses, making it fair and equitable for all.
No. But - it is possible - however, you must understand that the rates posted are actually not the real value of the currency exchange. There is a buy and sell rate. Often between 5-6 cents per $ spread. What you might think $100 buys may in fact be far less when bank rates and fees are calculated. We highly recommend using a multi-currency card like WISE. This will allow you to pay in which ever currency you choose at the best rates with minimal transaction fees.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund. Please realize that we must pay in full long before the tour starts. However, you can substitute at anytime. Please understand we must withhold $500 because there is in fact a great deal of work that goes into all this.
Again, unfortunately all hotels, meals, transportation, and activities are pre-paid. To that end, we cannot refund or credit as that is not extended to us.
We are pleased and well equipped to offer custom itineraries requiring arrangements for golf, accommodation and local transportation but more over, non-golf experiences. In this we rely on the support of our many friends, hotel and golf club partners. We can create relaxed or precise itineraries that satisfy every expectation and need.
