“We have some of the finest golf courses in the world here”
says Darren Clarke. And you are invited, so let’s play!!
In September 2022, our exclusive tour to Ireland will feature golf at world-class courses
situated in some of the most spectacular locations on the planet, from Ballybunion‘s carpet-
like fairways that meander between massive sand dunes on south west coast of Ireland on
the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, to Royal Portrush in the North – host of the 2019 British
Open.
This small luxury tour is based on a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 24 guests and will
feature premium accommodation, 10 rounds of golf at some of Ireland’s top-ranked golf
courses and plenty of sight- seeing beyond the challenges of the fairways.
A full itinerary that takes in many of Ireland’s best attractions is also included for
non- golfers.

minimum number of 12 has been reached and that the tour is going ahead.

2022 GOLFERS: OLD HEAD
The clifftop links at Old Head sit on a spectacular promontory a
few miles from Kinsale in County Cork, Southern Ireland. With 40
acres of un-spoilt cliff framing the course, Old Head is a
memorable experience that is quite unlike anything you will have
ever encountered
A large stone wall and a gate keeper at the narrow entrance to the
site ensure that this extraordinary location is reserved exclusively
for golfers. More than half the holes feature tees and greens at
the edge of 250 feet high cliffs and all 18 holes provide stunning
ocean views. With the ever-changing sea breezes this course
provides a stern test to golfers at any level.
ITINERARY DAY 2 (Continued) NON-GOLFERS: KINSALE WALKING TOUR & HARBOUR CRUISE Originally a medieval fishing port, historic Kinsale (from the Irish, Ceann t Saile – ‘Head of the Sea’) is one of themost picturesque, popular, and historic towns on the south west coast of Ireland. Visitors to Kinsale are captivated by its beautiful setting; its long waterfront, yacht-filled harbour, narrow winding streets and brightly painted galleries, shops, and houses. The impressive fortifications of Charles Fort and James Fort guard the narrow entrance from the sea – giving clues to its rich history. The combination of a walking tour and a harbor cruise provide a wonderful opportunity to appreciate this unique town which has been the centre of Irish History since the first settlers came to Ireland.

mystical & unspoilt part of Ireland the Ring of Kerry has attracted
visitors for centuries.
In addition to spectacular scenery, quaint villages, coastal views &
ancient heritage we will also visit Muckross House, where Queen
Victoria stayed in 1861. The Queen gave six years notice of her
visit – plenty of time for the house to be redecorated – and
arrived with her own bed and a 100-strong entourage.
Over 50 years later, the 19th century house & landscaped gardens
are a national treasure to explore.
Overnight: 4* Great Southern Hotel, Killarney

ITINERARY
Monday DAY 5
12th September
2022 GOLFERS: WATERVILLE GOLF LINKS
Golf at Waterville started around 1889 with a modest 9- hole
course, laid out on the eastern section of the present course. In
the 1950s, the club folded until Jack Mulcahy (an Irish American)
bought the links in the late 1960s.
Waterville plays on a promontory surrounded by the sea. It is a
stunning, remote location with views to the northeast of the
Macgillycuddy’s Reeks mountain range and to the southwest
across the beautiful Ballinskelligs Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
The fairways are gently undulating. The front nine plays across
relatively flat ground whilst the back nine weaves its ways through
avenues of tall dunes. The view from the elevated
17th tee, an excellent Par 3 called "Murphy's Peak" after the
founder Jack Mulcahy, is simply breathtaking. There are few
courses that can boast such a fine collection of unique and great
golf holes.

stretch of sand dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean are two
wonderfully challenging and unique links courses at Ballybunion –
the Old Course and the Trent Jones Cashen course.
The Ballybunion Old Course has been consistently rated among
the top golf courses in the world. It features a grave- yard by the
first tee, which some say is a warning to golfers who breeze
through the first five holes!! Then onto the ever-challenging 6th,
the fiendish 8th, the daunting par four 11th and the devilishly
tricky 15th. You will find every shot a breath-taking Challenge
here!ITINERARY DAY 6 (Continued) NON-GOLFERS: BUNRATTY CASTLE & FOLK PARK VISIT Visit to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park (2.5 hours) followed by a private transfer to the Doonbeg Golf Resort Hotel Bunratty Castle provides a wonderful window into Ireland’s past.

Graciously restored in the 1960’s and furnished by Lord Gorts magnificent collection of medieval furniture and furnishings, this is your chance to experience a window on Ireland’s past.

Lahinch is a legendary links course overlooking the ever-changing
Atlantic Ocean that has often been described as 'the St Andrews
of Ireland'. The Old Course was originally designed by Old Tom
Morris before being tweaked by Dr Alister Mackenzie in 1927,
The holes are memorable from start to finish, though many single
out the 5th as their favourite. A par-5 that measures 483 yards,
the second shot is played over a sand dune wall to a 'blind' green
and anything better than a par here is a real bonus!
The Championship Links (Par 72, 6,950 yards) is justifiably proud
of the reputation it has gathered as a stern challenge to even the
most gifted of golfers.ITINERARY DAY 7 (Continued) NON-GOLFERS: SIGHTSEEING / BURREN EXPERIENCE The Burren, (Irish: Boireann, meaning 'great rock') in County Clare is a region of outstanding significance in terms of its geology, geomorphology, natural history and archaeology.

redesigned over a two-year period after the property was
acquired by Donald Trump in 2014. Doonbeg covers an estate of
400 acres but most of the holes are alongside the dunes and
stretch for one and a half miles around the magnificent crescent
shaped Doughmore Bay.
Offering views of the Atlantic from 16 of the 18 holes, the
par-72 layout features a single loop of nine holes out and nine
back, playing 6,885 yards from the back tees. The most natural
routing within the existing dunes resulted in an uncommon
combination of five par 3's and five par 5's. Doonbeg is regarded
as a priceless jewel between Lahinch and Ballybunion, and one
that simply must by played.ITINERARY
