For the Non-golfers, we bring you sight-seeing to the famous and beautiful Dingle peninsula. The Dingle Peninsula stretches 30 miles into the Atlantic Ocean on the south-west coast on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. The peninsula is dominated by the range of mountains that form its spine, running from the Slieve Mish range to the Conor pass and  Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest peak. The magnificent coastline consists of steep sea-cliffs such as Slea Head dramatic headlands broken by sandy beaches, with the award-winning beach at Inch in the south 

The Blasket Islands lie to the west and the peninsula is dotted with lovely villages that each offer their own unique Sense of Place………

When we stop and explore the town of Dingle you might even hear the natives speak in Gaelic (Irish language), and you will spend time in a place rich in tradition, literature and culture, where native Gaelic prospers alongside modern languages, where the perfect harmony created by nature restores the spirit, where you can relax and savor the scenery, the flora and fauna the art, culture, the archaeology, the local food craft distillery and breweries, or just meet the people – the choice is yours!

Lahinch Golf Club decided to enlist the services of Golf Course Architect, Dr. Martin Hawtree in 1999. Dr. Hawtree’s plan modernised the links golf course at Lahinch providing a top class championship golf course.  In the new layout, the sand dunes closer to the Atlantic Ocean were utilised and, in all, 14 greens were redesigned introducing wonderful undulations making putting a fine art.  The redesigned course has met with wide acclaim and is consistently ranked in the World Top 50 courses.

Located just over one hour from Galway City, Kylemore Abbey is one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions. Kylemore Castle was built in the late 1800s by Mitchell Henry MP, a wealthy businessman, and liberal politician. Inspired by his love for his wife Margaret, and his hopes for his beloved Ireland, Henry created an estate boasting ‘all the innovations of the modern age’. Today Kylemore Abbey is owned and run by the Benedictine community who have been in residence here since 1920.

We give the golfers a day off but your time will be spent traveling and enjoying some places that we will visit on our way to our next hotel. 

We will take a scenic drive through Connemara along Killary Fjord to Leenane which is a little coastal village. We stop there for a short while before going to visit Westport House and Garden.

Known as “Ireland’s Most Beautiful Home”, Westport House has a story that matches its beauty. One of the few still privately-owned historic houses left in Ireland, Westport House was built by the Browne family whose connections to Mayo date back to the 1500s and even relates them to the trail-blazing pirate queen and chieftain, Grace O’Malley. A visit to Westport House will tell the story of the development of the house as well as the family’s contribution to the estate and surrounding area. We hope you’ll enjoy the tales of pirates and slave emancipators as you gain a fascinating insight into the families behind the big house as well as the members of staff who made it all possible. Families can also visit the onsite Pirate Adventure Park. Keep an eye on its vibrant Events Calendar. Or book a stay in onsite Hotel Westport, hire a bell tent or bring your own to the Caravan & Camping Park. There are plenty of craft shops in Westport to explore too!

We make our way to Sligo where we settle into our hotel beside the sea. You can take a short 5 min walk to get to the beach. The golf course is just outside the front door of the hotel.

This world famous golf course in Rosses Point offers an excellent challenge. The traditional links layout, designed by Harry Colt, utilizes the natural contours of the dune-covered landscape rather than moving large amounts of earth during its design. The end result is a course filled with dramatic undulations, elevated tees, and raised plateau greens.

For the Non-golfer we bring you on a scenic drive around Lough Gill where we first stop at Parke's Castle which dates back to the 13th century. It is rich in history and you will learn all about how life was lived during those times. We then take a boat ride on the Lake. When we end our boat ride we finish the scenic drive around the lake and we stop at a very special place for the locals called Tobernault Holy Well. Your guide will tell you the history and customs for this place.

We will then bring you into Sligo town to explore some of the shopping centers and the town itself. We can pick up the golfers and bring them into meet you and you can explore together. There are great restaurants, shops, art galleries and so much more in the town.

Narin & Portnoo is where the ocean, dunes, and linksland combine to create a course that demands to be discovered. This is a special place, where stunning vistas and the magnificence of the ocean come together to create a truly magical golf experience. Narin & Portnoo is a classic Irish links set on a breathtaking strip of land on the Donegal coast in the north-west of the country. Founded in 1905, in recent years world-renowned design team of Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner have lovingly re-established Narin & Portnoo as one of Ireland’s must-play links.

“I was just blown away by its beauty — the sky, the landscape, the water,” says Wagner.
For the Non-Golfers, we bring you to the breath-taking scenery of the highest cliffs in Europe...Sliabh Liag. The scenery on the way there is nothing short of magnificent.
