One of the most overlooked yet crucial aspects of a successful golf trip is sorting out your transport. We offer a range of options – from self-drive to private transfers and even helicopters for the ultimate luxury – but we always recommend dedicated driver guides for the best experience.
Choosing a dedicated driver guide for your golf trip ensures a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish. We take care of all your transport needs, from airport pickups and drop-offs to daily transfers to and from the golf courses or spontaneous detours to a castle or whisky distillery. You’ll have the same driver all week, a familiar face you can help you make last minute bookings on the fly and provide quality local recommendations.
Pickup times are flexible – you’ll typically arrive at the course about an hour before your tee time and be picked up an hour after your round – but if you want to enjoy a leisurely lunch or a post-round drink, just let us know, and we’ll adjust accordingly.
All driver guides use vehicles that provide a level of luxury to travel in comfort and style, featuring leather seats, tables, air conditioning and plenty of space for luggage and golf clubs.
And our experienced local drivers are more than just chauffeurs – they’re knowledgeable guides who enhance your trip with insights, stories, and a warm welcome. Many of our clients request the same drivers year after year, which speaks volumes about the quality of the service.
Opting for private transfers is a more cost efficient option than taking a driver guide, and means you can sit back, take in the stunning scenery, and focus on your golf without the hassle of navigating unfamiliar roads or finding parking (which can be tricky in some places).
Opting for private transfers means you will have set pickup and collection times each day. It’s likely you’ll have multiple friendly drivers looking after you throughout the week, especially if you visit different regions as we’ll use local companies to keep your costs to a minimum.
For those who prefer flexibility and independence, renting a vehicle and driving yourself is a great option. While it requires a bit more planning, it gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, take scenic detours, and visit places off the beaten path—especially in Scotland and Ireland’s more remote regions.
We partner with trusted car rental providers across the UK and Ireland to ensure you get the right vehicle for your needs. Keep in mind that cars here tend to be smaller than in the U.S., so depending on your group size, you may need multiple vehicles or a larger ‘People Carrier.’ We always recommend choosing an automatic transmission for ease of driving and ensuring your vehicle is equipped with Sat Nav to help navigate those winding country roads.
For the ultimate in luxury and efficiency, VIP helicopter transfers offer a seamless way to travel. Whether you want to cut down on journey times, access remote courses with ease, or play two incredible venues in a single day, flying by private helicopter ensures you make the most of every moment on your golf trip.
Arriving just yards from the first tee, refreshed and ready to play, you’ll travel in style aboard a choice of single or twin-engine helicopters, accommodating groups of 4 to 8 – which can also help to spread the cost.
But helicopter travel isn’t just about saving time – it’s about experiencing Scotland and Ireland from a whole new perspective and enjoying some of the stunning landscapes and scenery along the way. Let us know if you’d like to explore this option, and we’ll tailor a flight plan to fit your itinerary.
