Day 1: Arrival in Dublin – City Tour – Druids Glen Golf Resort
Let’s get our tour off to an enchanting start by exploring some of the incredible must-see sights in Dublin such as Dublin Castle, Molly Malone’s statue, and the hallowed halls of Trinity College.
Just a quick 30-minute drive from Dublin you can get started on what you are really here for – the Irish Whiskey!
No, sorry that can wait… we’re talking of course about golf, and the first tee-off on this magical journey will be at Druids Glen!
If you don’t already know, then Druid’s Glen is a simply magnificent, high-end golf resort. There are 2 championship 18-hole courses attached to an opulent 5-star hotel. If you wish to stay overnight in the Druids Glen resort overnight then we would advise booking as early as possible, otherwise, it’s back into your vehicle as we chauffeur you back into Dublin for the evening.
Day 2: The Kildare Hotel & Golf Club – Killarney
We begin the day with a drive to The Kildare Hotel and Golf Club (the K Club for short), which has firmly established itself in the history of the great game when it hosted the 2006 Ryder cup and now you have an opportunity to play on one of the two 18-hole courses designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer.
You will no doubt require some nourishment after completing a round on the famously challenging course! Thankfully you will be in luck as the K club also hosts a Michelin Star restaurant – where we’ll have a relaxing lunch before driving to your accommodation in Killarney.
Day 3: Dooks Club – Ring of Kerry Sites – Killarney
Today we’ll drive to the southwest of Ireland in order to play one of Ireland’s oldest courses: Dooks Club. Please try to keep your attention on the game and don’t get swept away by the gorgeous surroundings of the enchanting Dingle Bay to one side and the majestic Reeks Mountains to the other.
Located in Kerry, the Dooks Club isn’t just a phenomenal place to play a round, but is located in one of the most scenic and picturesque locations in all of Ireland. As part of your tour today we will arrange for your group to stop at some of the many jaw-dropping sites of natural beauty on the Ring of Kerry scenic driving route.
Your accommodation for the night will be at Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa in Killarney.
Day 4: The Mount Wolseley – Transfer To Belfast
Today your driver-guide will collect you from your Killarney hotel and transfer you to The Mount Wolseley Golf Resort. The Mount Wolseley in County Carlow is an incredible golf resort that features an 18-hole Championship Course.
Depending on your tee-off time, we might be able to fit in some sightseeing around the area including the medieval Kilkenny Castle, Rock of Cashel, and Glendalough, before finishing the day with a transfer to Belfast in the north.
Day 5: Royal County Down Golf Club – Belfast Tour
We begin the morning of Day 5 as we make our way to the Royal County Down Golf Club – just a short 50-minute drive from your accommodation in Belfast.
Having opened over 130 years ago, The Royal County Down is considered to be one of Ireland’s oldest courses and has hosted numerous significant events such as The Irish Open (1928, 1935, 2015), The Walker Cup (2007), and The Palmer Cup (2012), in it’s long and distinguished history.
In the afternoon, you and your driver-guide will travel back to Belfast and go on a city tour of your choosing. Meanwhile, if you have had your fill of the old Irish Whiskey for the time being, a night on the Guinness enjoying some traditional music is always an excellent alternative!
Day 6: Royal Portrush Golf Club – Transfer To Scotland – Edinburgh
Your last day in fair old Ireland! We have saved a beauty of a course to mark the occasion.
We will set out in the morning to make the drive to the renowned Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim which comprises of two 18-hole links courses: The Dunluce Links (which is a championship course), and the Valley Links.
In the afternoon you have the option of either taking the flight across to Edinburgh or catching the Ferry for the pleasant 2 and a half hour journey across the little corridor of the North Atlantic Ocean.
On the other side of the sea we’ll be greeted by our Scottish driver-guides and escorted to your accommodation in the city center of Scotland’s famed capital city: Edinburgh.
Day 7: Muirfield Golf Club – Edinburgh
Today you wake up in bonnie Scotland, the land of Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Robert Burns, Adam Smith, and most importantly… Scotch Whisky! In all seriousness, we are sure you will instantly understand why Scotland is considered by many to be the true home of Golf.
Your first port of call will be Muirfield Golf Club, once described by none other than Jack Nicklaus as “the best golf course in Britain” now you can’t say fairer than that! Located by the coast of the Firth of Forth, we are sure you will agree that Muirfield truly is a beautiful links course.
Once you’ve enjoyed a round or two in the clubhouse after your game, your private driver will take you to Edinburgh, the nation’s capital, so you can enjoy some of the city’s excellent range of bars and restaurants before returning to your accommodation for the night.
Day 8: Turnberry Golf Club – Glasgow
Your driver-guide will collect you bright and early as you make your way towards the west coast of Scotland on a two-hour drive to the prestigious Trump Turnberry Golf Club. The iconic Ailsa Course at Trump Turnberry is one of the country’s best courses, with spectacular views of the Ayrshire coast, the Island of Arran, and Aila Craig.
After 18-holes at Trump Turnberry, we’ll stay for a spot of lunch before driving north to Scotland’s biggest city: Glasgow.
Once we arrive, we’ll drop your baggage off at your hotel before heading out for a quick city tour, where depending on your preferences there are lots to do and see! Glasgow is famous for its lively nightlife and your guide will be sure to advise you on the best places to visit for a tipple or two in the evening!
Day 9: Glasgow – Gleneagles Golf Resort – Stirling
Some serious Golf is planned for today as we make the drive from Glasgow to Gleneagles Golf Resort, a world-famous and award-winning luxury golf resort, and 5-star hotel and spa. Some of Scotland’s (and indeed the world’s) finest and most beautiful courses can be found here including The King’s, The Queen’s, and The PGA Centenary Course – designed by the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus.
The afternoon provides a fantastic opportunity for your driver to take you to the nearby historic town of Stirling where you can visit some outstanding attractions such as Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. Your group may wish to retire back to the Gleneagles resort to stay at the magnificent 5-star hotel for the night.
Day 10: St Andrews Golf Club – St Andrews Tour
A special day for any Golf lover, because today your private driver-guide will chauffeur you to the ‘Home of Golf”: St. Andrews.
Generally recognized as the oldest golf course in the world, the legendary Old Course at St. Andrews. Aside from its heritage, the Old Course is renowned for having hosted the Open Championship no less than 29 times since all the way back in 1873.
Playing at St. Andrews is a real bucket list occasion and allows players to make themselves a part of the wonderful history of the course. As you and your group are walking up the 18th fairway, you’ll cross the iconic Swilcan Bridge to see the beautiful Old Course Hotel in the background, which will also be your accommodation for the night.
Day 11: Carnoustie Golf Course – Aberdeen
From one iconic golf course to another! With just a short one-hour drive between locations, you will arrive at the hallowed Championship Course at Carnoustie.
While St Andrews holds the title as the home of the game, Golf is recorded being played at Carnoustie as far back as the 16th Century – making it one of the oldest golfing destinations in the world.
This stunning and iconic golf club offers players a choice of three courses, with all of them ranked in the top 50 Links courses in the UK. The crown jewel of which (The Championship Course) is regarded as one of the best (and most difficult) courses in the world.
Once you’ve had your fill of golf for the day, we’ll drive up to the north-east of Scotland to stay in Aberdeen City Center – possibly stopping along the way at a Scotch distillery or two.
Day 12: Royal Aberdeen – Trump International Golf Club
When it comes to historic and prestigious courses, nowhere can quite match Scotland, and today your driver-guide will take your group to another of the oldest and most prized courses in the land: Royal Aberdeen.
Teeing off amidst the stunning backdrop of the Aberdeen Coast is really something to behold and makes The Royal Aberdeen one of our personal favorites.
From Aberdeen, we’ll head north – following the coast – for about half an hour before we reach our second course of the day: Trump International.
A simply stunning links course sitting on the coast and surrounded by sand dunes, Trump International Aberdeen is one of Scotland’s newest courses but makes up for its lack of history with some of the best holes you will find in world golf and some of the greatest views in Scottish golf.
Once you’ve finished your round, we can visit some local restaurants and bars before returning to your accommodation for the night.
Day 13: Royal Dornoch – Inverness
On the final day of your golf tour of Scotland, we’ll travel from Aberdeen to Royal Dornoch – stopping along the way for a spot of lunch.
Referred to by many as the ‘King of Scottish Links Courses’ we couldn’t think of a better way to finish your golf tour than with Royal Dornoch’s Championship Course; situated beside the Dornoch Firth this is said to be the third oldest course in the world.
Offering fantastic views of the Scottish countryside, Royal Dornoch is one of Scotland’s best courses and is the perfect way to remember our wee country and your private golf tour.
Day 14: Inverness – Edinburgh Airport Transfer
Today marks your final day of this ultimate golfing tour of Ireland and Scotland, and while you might be done with the golf for this vacation (and I’m sure your arms will be aching from all the Golf played so far anyway!) we still have time to make some lasting memories as we take the scenic driving route back to either Edinburgh or a flight from Inverness to Dublin to catch your flight home.
