Meet & greet at Shannon or Dublin Airport. 2hr / 4hr transfer to Killarney.
Not many courses boast such a unique collection of golf holes, especially the par 3’s and par 5’s. The modern course was designed by Eddie Hacket and Claude Harmon, then later updated by Tom Fazio. The course is located on a strip of land mostly surrounded by the ocean providing it with wonderful views. All of this combined earns it a top5 ranking of all the courses in Ireland, despite its remote location. Overnight, Killarney .
Designed by Arnold Palmer, in his words “I may have designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine”. The front nine is cleverly routed through gently undulating links land which hugs the coastline. The back nine however plays from clifftop tees to perched greens across ravines and through towering sand dunes. Theatre at its finest. Overnight, Killarney.
Pricing
This is just an example itinerary; we do not sell “off the shelf” packages. All of the golf trips we plan for our customers are bespoke, and so are the prices. Price depends on the dates you travel, party size, hotel rooms, transport choices, itinerary complexity and so on.
It’s no secret that booking through a tour operator like ourselves is more expensive than booking the golf trip by yourself . We’ve added links to all hotels and golf courses in the “at a glance” section if this is what you’re looking to do.
If however you’d rather leave the admin of 20 or 30 separate bookings to the experts and receive round the clock support and advice from a passionate, local golfer, then look no further. We’re confident in the level of service we provide to every customer and are proud to offer fair prices when compared to our competitors.
