Day 2 - Friday 9 Sept 2022 GOLFERS: OLD HEAD Tee Time: 14.12 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.
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 the most picturesque, popular, and historic towns on the southwest 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. Day 3 – Saturday 10 Sept 2022 GOLFERS: FOTA ISLAND – DEERPARK COURSE Tee Time: 11.00 Fota Island Golf Club is in the heart of a stunning 780- acre island woodland estate. The estate is home to splendid mature woodlands where three challenging championship courses are woven throughout. We will play the Deerpark course which is generally regarded as the best and most enjoyable of the three. The Fota Island Deerpark Course, which played host to the Irish Open in 2001, 2002 & 2014, enjoys stunning views across Cork Harbour, as it skirts the coastline. It benefits from an excellent design in a traditional form and features strategically placed pot bunkers and undulating greens. It has a real variety of holes, and the outstanding natural landscape never fails to impress. NON-GOLFERS: DAY AT LEISURE A full day at leisure to relax & enjoy the facilities available at the Resort or alternatively take a taxi & explore some of the many attractions in Cork. Overnight: Fota Island Resort, Cork (4*) Evening: Own arrangements
Day 4 - Sunday 11 Sept 2022 GOLFERS & NON-GOLFERS: SIGHTSEEING KILLARNEY Thanks to its natural beauty Killarney is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in Ireland. The town is best known for its incredible national park as well as many historic landmarks and attractions. Today we will spend the day exploring the best of Killarney. Killarney Jaunting (Horse & Carriage) Experience Discover the traditional mode of Transport within Ireland through a unique guided tour. It is an excellent option to explore the hidden aspects of Killarney National Park & the Lakes of Killarney. Ring of Kerry Tour & Muckross House The Ring of Kerry is considered one of the finest drives in the world and comprises a 110-mile (180-km) scenic route of narrow roads that wind around the Iveragh Peninsula. Located in a 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: Great Southern Hotel, Killarney (4*) Evening: Tonight, Chrissy will host a group Dinner at the Great Southern Hotel DAY 5 – Monday 12 Sept 2022 GOLFERS: WATERVILLE GOLF LINKS Tee Time:12.10 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" is simply breathtaking. There are few courses that can boast such a fine collection of unique and great golf holes.
NON-GOLFERS: KILLARNEY SIGHTSEEING A full day at your leisure to further explore the Killarney town centre and visit more of Killarney’s many activities and attractions. Overnight: Great Southern Hotel, Killarney (4*) Evening: Own arrangements DAY 6 – Tuesday 13 Sept 2022 Transport: Depart Killarney for Doonbeg via Ballybunion by private transport and ferry. GOLFERS: BALLYBUNION (OLD COURSE) Tee Time: 11.32 Located on the northwest coast of County Kerry, on a beautiful 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. We will play the Ballybunion Old Course as it has been consistently rated among the top golf courses in the world. It features a graveyard 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! 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. It is the most complete and authentic medieval fortress in Ireland. Built in 1425, the spot on which this castle stands have been occupied for over 1000 years. From the Vikings to the Normans, great Irish Earls and noble Lords and Ladies. 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. Bunratty Castle now contains mainly 15th and 16th century furnishings, tapestries, and works of art which capture the mood of those times.
Trump International, Doonbeg Hotel, Clare Set against a spectacular backdrop of rugged landscape & shimmering waves, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg offers exceptional 5* old-world luxury and service. In addition to world class golf, you canbreak away and experience the Spa, award winning dining options and other outdoor activities. Overnight: Doonbeg Hotel B&B Basis (5*) Evening: Own arrangements DAY 7 – Wednesday 14 Sept 2022 GOLFERS: MORNING GOLF AT DOONBEG Tee Time: 10.12 AFTERNOON GROUP CLIFFS OF MOHER TOUR Doonbeg is the course that Greg Norman built but it was 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 be played. NON-GOLFERS: MORNING AT LEISURE / AFTERNOON GROUP CLIFFS OF MOHER TOUR Morning at leisure to relax & enjoy the wonderful facilities & services available at the Doonbeg Resort. In the afternoon join the Golfers for a Cliffs of Moher Tour. Cliffs of Moher Tour The iconic Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most visited natural attractions. Stretching for 8km along the Atlantic coast of Clare, the cliffs reach 214m at their highest point at Knockardakin. From the main platform, you can see the south cliffs toward Hag’s Head, a natural rocky promontory that resembles a seated woman. From the North Platform, you can spot A Branán Mór sea stack, home of guillemots and razorbills, as well as the Aran Islands and, if the conditions are right, the famous surfing wave known as ‘Aileen’s’. Overnight: Doonbeg Golf Resort (5*) Evening: Own arrangements.
DAY 8 – Thursday 15 Sept 2022
GOLFERS: LAHINCH -OLD COURSE
Tee Time: 09.30
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.
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.
