Looking for the Best Ireland Golf Tour Companies

I’m planning an incredible golf trip to Ireland and could use some advice on selecting a reliable golf tour company. I’ve heard so much about the stunning courses and beautiful landscapes in Ireland, but I’m not sure where to start when it comes to choosing a tour operator.

What I’m Looking For

  • Reputable Companies: I want recommendations for companies that specialize in golf travel in Ireland and have good reviews from fellow golfers.
  • Customizable Itineraries: Ideally, I’d love a company that can help tailor my trip according to my preferences, including course selection and accommodation.
  • Experience in the Industry: Companies that have been around for a while and understand golf travel are a must!

My Preferences

  • Courses I’d Like to Play: Some of the must-play courses I’m interested in are Ballybunion, Royal County Down, and Portrush. If companies offer packages that include these, that would be fantastic!
  • Accommodation Types: I’m open to different types of accommodation, from luxury hotels to charming bed and breakfasts, as long as they are golf-friendly.
  • Overall Experience: I want to ensure that this trip is not just about golf but also soaking in the Irish culture and hospitality.

Questions for You

  1. What companies have you used, and how was your experience?
  2. Are there specific packages that you would recommend?
  3. Any tips on what to ask tour operators before booking?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Excited for this golf adventure!

I’m excited to hear about everyone’s experiences! When I was looking at tour companies, I focused on customer reviews and the quality of service. A good reputation can really make a difference.

Totally agree about the inclusions, zwhitehead! I recently went with a company called Golf Tours Ireland, and they had fantastic package deals. The service was top-notch! Highly recommend checking them out.

Absolutely! I think pricing is equally important. Some companies offer packages that include accommodations and meals, while others don’t. Make sure to know what you’re paying for!

Golf Tours Ireland sounds good! Did you find their pricing competitive? I want to avoid any hidden fees.

Yes, bryanmiller, their pricing was very transparent! No surprises, which is a big plus. I also checked out customer reviews beforehand, which confirmed their reliability.

What about the actual courses? Is the quality of the courses included in the tours? I want to make sure we play at some top-notch links!

That’s a great point! Some companies have exclusive access to premier courses, which can really enhance the experience.

I found the customer service aspect crucial too. Some companies may have great deals, but if the service is lacking, it can ruin the trip. Anyone had issues like that?

So true, hannahrhodes! I had a terrible experience with one company where the guides seemed uninterested. Never again!

Yikes! That sounds frustrating! I would have expected more from a tour company. Any fun companies that you all have had great experiences with?

I’ve had fantastic experiences with The Golfing Union. They have a great selection of tours and the staff was very engaging throughout our trip!

That’s super encouraging! How did their prices compare with others you’ve seen?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a golf tour in Ireland and would love to hear your recommendations on the best companies. I’m looking for something tailored to my preferences.

Have you thought about what types of courses you prefer? Links vs. parkland courses can really change the experience!

Another important aspect is choosing accommodations. Do many companies offer hotel packages along with the golf courses? I’d love some insights.

Absolutely! Most good tour operators should include accommodations. It’s a great way to ensure proximity to the courses.

Don’t forget to consider some additional activities! Are there any unique Irish experiences you’d recommend alongside the golf?
