☘️ Specially Crafted Golf, Whiskey & Sightseeing Tours of Ireland

Discover the essence of Ireland with one of our Signature Tours

We recently joined the podcast to chat about golf travel in Ireland - particularly the idea that the best trips aren’t always just about the marquee names.

Very often, the most memorable moments happen off the course too - in the quieter places, local pubs, scenic drives, and conversations along the way.

We’ve put together a short blog with the podcast and article link now live on our website.

What an unbelievable experience it was to attend The Masters this week. It’s one of the most surreal places I’ve ever visited and even with high expectations going in they were well surpassed.

I don’t think we realise how lucky we are as Irish golf fans and there’s nearly a feeling of All-Ireland Final Day with both Shane and Rory well in contention this evening.

Enjoy what’s sure to be another rollercoaster of a ride at Augusta National today.

A caddy is a great companion to spend a bit of time with on your trip to Ireland.

You’re out there for four or five hours, walking the course together - chatting about golf, life, family, Ireland, and everything in between.

Caddies know every inch of the place. The reads, the wind, the stories behind each hole. But more than that, it’s the conversation and connection that stay with you.

This photo was taken when I was caddying with a great man, Tom McCoy. We’re still in touch to this day - and he’s hoping to make it back to Ireland next year for the .

It’s something we always recommend to our guests. If you want to experience Ireland properly, this adds another layer to any trip.

It really is all about the connection. The local connection.

A few small touches we’ve been putting together behind the scenes for guests travelling with us this season.

Golf days, good whiskey, and plenty of miles on the road ahead.

The details matter.

We were lucky enough to spend a few nights at Armada Spanish Point last week - and it’s genuinely a special place.

Right on the edge of the Atlantic, with nothing between you and the sea. No towns, no traffic - just coastline and open water.

Spanish Point beach is literally on the doorstep. Lahinch and Doonbeg are just up and down the road (both offering great golf), while the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher are within easy reach.

The food throughout was top notch - fresh, local produce done properly, with a real focus on Irish suppliers.

But what really stood out was the hospitality…

A warm cookie and milk for the kids on arrival. Irish cream and chocolates waiting in the room. Genuine, thoughtful service from start to finish.

It’s the kind of place that makes slowing down very easy - away from the usual rush of daily life.

A brilliant base for exploring the West of Ireland.

A busy few days put down last week.

Radio Row in San Francisco with around the Super Bowl, followed by a few days in Vancouver meeting some great people across the travel, golf and hospitality sectors.

There was a bit of golf, a few pints, some jet lag… and plenty of good conversations along the way.

Representing your own business abroad is something I don’t take lightly. It was a very proud week.

That said, there’s nothing quite like getting home to family either.

Grateful for the opportunity and for everyone who made it possible. 🇮🇪🇺🇸🇨🇦

Ireland is shaped as much by its people as by its places.
The warmth of a welcome. A story shared. A connection made.

In our latest blog, Faces & Places of Ireland, we celebrate some of the people who give journeys here real depth and meaning - the hosts, makers, storytellers, and guardians of place who leave a lasting impression on our guests.

Throwback to a unreal trip to Islay a while back. Whiskey, golf and more whiskey, this place is a real Dunes & Drams experience. One of the most unique places we’ve ever visited ⛳️🥃

A small highlight today from one of our favourite experiences this year - 🍴

We had clients take this tour during the summer and they absolutely loved it. It’s the perfect way to explore Kinsale - Ireland’s gourmet capital - through its stories, flavours, and local producers.

It’s relaxed, it’s authentic, and it really brings the town to life in a way you don’t get by just passing through.

A great experience to keep in mind if you ever find yourself wandering the colourful streets of Kinsale. 🌈🇮🇪
