About Golf Vacations Ireland

Eamonn, Thank you for setting this trip up for us.  It was a truly unforgettable experience.  Also,  Donal did an amazing job getting us around to all the courses.  Hope to come back soon.

Hi Avril and Eamonn It was one of the best trips we ever took from the service (especially Con) to the hotels, the tee times, and the weather.  We could not ever have hoped for better weather in Ireland.  Hot and sunny…such a treat.  I will be singing your accolades to anyone who will listen.  You did a fantastic job and we are so grateful! Best, John Sheehan - September 2024

Elaine Oh my goodness, what a fantastic trip my group just experienced in Ireland!  Every one of the guys had a terrific time.  Sligo was a great base of operation for the first 4 days.  Very nice city. The Glasshouse was an excellent hotel - nice rooms, great location. The golf courses were all spectacular, with Carne and Rosses Point getting the highest marks, followed by Narin & Portnoo, Enniscrone, Donegal and Connemara. Our driver, Martin turned out to be an excellent addition to our experience. All in all, it could not have been any better! Thanks again, and take care.   All the best, Gerry Wilson May 2024

My new hero Sarah! It could not have been better. From arrival to departure with Martin, the entire trip exceeded all expectations. The hotel choices were perfect. Probably a stone heavier after all those Full Irish breakfasts!! Golf courses were spectacular. Carne w a soft rain and 55mph winds. Best golf memory of my life which is pretty full of great golf memories. Credit to every Irish person we met, could not have been more pleasant. Martin was brilliant. Professional yet personable the whole time   Can’t wait to plan another one with you and GVI. Gregory Higgins  June 2024

Eamonn/Sarah,   Thanks for organizing our group of 8 for a golfing memory of a lifetime!  Each one of the 7 courses we played in SW Ireland were stunning and surpassed our expectations.  Thank you Sarah for the excellent hotels in the perfect location and for knowing the hotel staff would put out a fantastic Irish breakfast at 5:00am for those early morning tee times. Your attention to detail was second to none!  A special bonus of getting us Pat as a driver who shared his extensive knowledge of Ireland as we traveled through your beautiful country along with his quick Irish wit!   It's a trip we will all never forget!   Slainte,   Jim Holihan NY (USA) September 2023

Good morning Eamonn,  

Greg and I can't thank you enough for organizing and overseeing our fantastic trip to your wonderful country.   It was truly great from start to finish. Our driver Tommy took good care of us.  We all had quite a few laughs together. We thoroughly enjoyed the golf courses, even though we could have done with one Irish weather experience - I may be the only guy ever to say that!

Thanks again for everything.  I will surely recommend you and hope that I can make a return trip in the near future.  Stay well and Slainte, Eamonn.

Hi Elaine, Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation that you arranged for our family.  The accommodations at the three hotels were fantastic.  Adare Manor is truly magical.  The guys thoroughly enjoyed their golf adventures.  The sunshine for their last round at Adare was the perfect ending. Nigel was terrific!  Not only did he drive us everywhere we needed to go, but he was an expert at by-passing the entrance lines and getting us right in to any attraction.  We could not have had a better host.  Please pass along our thanks again.  The other drivers were all great as well. It was not an easy task to accommodate three generations, golfers and non-golfers, but you succeeded well.  We look forward to our Scotland adventure next summer! Best regards,   Bill, Sandi and family,   July 2023

  Elaine - Our group had an outstanding time in Ireland and much of that has to do with your fantastic planning and organization.  We all had high expectations for this trip and those lofty expectations were exceeded. Ireland is a beautiful country and the people are so welcoming.  The hotel accommodations were excellent and the overall itinerary was perfect.  All of us were very impressed with how smooth everything went .. from hotel check in, golf reservations, driver pickups etc.  Absolutely no glitches anywhere on the trip.  The golf was an unforgettable experience.  All the courses were top notch and exactly what we were hoping to experience in Ireland.  Finally, our driver Con.  He made the trip.  Con is such a warm, friendly gentlemen with a wonderful personality.  We loved hearing him talk about his beloved country and share his knowledge on social and political climate in Ireland.   S Barker USA June 2023

Elaine, Thank you for putting together an amazing 8 day trip for our gang of golfing misfits. You did an incredible job of coordinating the arrival/departure and other random requests from the guys in compiling a world class itinerary. The accommodations, courses and meal suggestions were all terrific. We were blessed by amazing weather which turned our great trip into an epic one. Special shout out to our driver Con who did an incredible job of cat herding, all the while entertaining, the boys with history lessons and amusing anecdotes. We would not hesitate to recommend you both to anyone seeking the golf trip of a lifetime. Cheers Greg. Greg Swart, California, May 23

Michael:  Thanks so much. The trip was perfect. Seriously, I can hardly imagine it being better. Thank you so much again for your assistance. I had a great time.    All the best, Michael R. USA May 2023

Elaine…..Almost home for a week now but still glowing over the experience.  Everyone had a great time and gave me all the credit.  I did inform them that though I spent much more time working on this adventure than I ever thought I would, it was you who made it work so well.  Tim was also just terrific.  He was extremely easy to work with and kept us informed of the schedule of pick-ups and drop offs so that all went very smoothly.  We had a smattering of rain one day at Dooks and played in a windstorm at Waterville but all else was good.   Thanks again, Steve Angel USA - May 2023

Hi Elaine, We truly couldn't have asked for better. Everything went so well. We were so blessed with the weather. We only needed our wet weather gear for about 3 holes at Enniscrone, and for most of our final round at Ardglass. All the rest of the golf was dry and mostly sunny, and not overly windy either. Our sightseeing days were similarly blessed, and we packed a lot of things in, including some significant walks and hikes as well as some of the attractions you suggested. The accommodation was all very good and varied so every stay was a little different.  The included breakfasts were a real winner.  We covered about 3,500 KM all up. Quite a drive. Highly recommended and a first-class job done - thank you! Regards,

Dear Elaine, We wanted to thank all those involved at Golf Vacations Ireland for organizing our recent trip. It was a 2.5 year wait and well worth it. The accommodations, restaurants , driver and most importantly the golf were all wonderful! We were glad to have 2.5 years more of practice so we were not totally embarrassed on those amazing golf courses. Surely we gave the caddies lots of stories to tell to their peers. Thank you for sticking with us over the pandemic and for all your assistance and accommodations made during that time. We hope we will be back and will definitely be referring you to our friends and family! Thanks again and take care,

Eamonn- We had a fantastic time on our trip. One very interesting day of weather at Waterville, but overall it was just an absolutely awesome trip. Finishing on royal county down was a great way to end the trip. Thank you for helping to arrange everything. Otherwise, I just wanted to say thank you, and we will plan on using you again if we are lucky enough to make a trip back in the future.

Eamonn/Elaine, I just wanted to drop a note to tell you what a great time we had. After 2 years or so we were finally able to get to Ireland to play some great golf courses. The people were friendly, the courses were magnificent, the pubs were warm, the Guinness was cold and plentiful, and even the weather was perfect. Even with all of this it still does not compare to how great Donal was. He was knowledgeable, kind, and very accommodating. He took great care of us and we in turn took great care of him. I would highly recommend him for any type of group you may host in the future. I will be sure to leave a five-star recommendation for golf vacations Ireland as well. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Eamonn and Elaine, We just returned to the States tonight from our magnificent trip to Ireland. We had a fantastic time. All the arrangements went smoothly and worked perfectly. The hotels were great, the golf courses were incredible. Sean did a great job driving and being the tour guide. And we were particularly impressed with how you both arranged such perfect weather for us. Seriously, the trip was just fantastic and the planning that you both did for us was great. We particularly enjoyed the Merrion Hotel in Dublin and the Killarney Park Hotels. And the trip to the Cliffs of Moher on the 1st day worked out very well. The Kilmainham Gaol tour was very enlightening and very well worth it. We also really liked the Jameson tour. Thank you again for planning such a great tour!

Hi Elaine I wanted to say thank YOU it all was perfectly organized. We had a great time in Ireland and are never going to forget this trip. Freundliche Grüsse

Eamonn/Elaine, Thanks again for all your help on planning our trip, and for sticking with us the past three years. It took some time, but I can say categorically that this was my best trip ever to Ireland/Scotland - and I’ve done it 9 times. It was a great itinerary, great courses and great hotels. Thanks again for everything John

Hello Elaine, We would like to thank you for planning such a great trip for us! We enjoyed every minute of it.  You and your company did a great job in making our arrangements. We will be sure to refer you to any of our friends who plan to go "across the pond" for golf in the future. Best, Larry

Eamonn, Thank you for setting this trip up for us.  It was a truly unforgettable experience.  Also,  Donal did an amazing job getting us around to all the courses.  Hope to come back soon.
