South West Ireland Golf Tours

I want to thank the Premier Golf team for a wonderful week…most especially, for this great weather! Wow did we ever luck 🍀 out!!! Heading back to the States in a few but all of us in the group had an amazing time and made memories that will last us forever. The golf seemed to get better each day, although it’s hard to trump Old Head. Tralee ran a very close 1A. All of the courses were fantastic and unique in their own way. Couldn’t have put together a better lineup.

Our trip was wonderful. The staff everywhere was great, the properties were outstanding and the touring was awesome. Needless to say, some of the best golf courses I have ever been on. Adare was not on my bucket list, but should have been!!

We just returned from the Ireland trip, which was amazing. Old Head Golf Links and Ballybunion were awesome. We plan to go back there in July next year for a month and are looking forward to it. Having Connor from Premier Golf waiting at the airport us was a major plus!!

I was with Mark Osborne, so had much of the same experiences. The 7 courses we played would be hard to beat: Old Head, Waterville, Tralee, Ballybunion (Cashen)/(Old), Lahinch, and Doonbeg. We ended up eating at all of the recommended restaurants and we pleased with all. We had 8 golfers, so making reservations as early as possible is highly recommended. We often had chowder for lunch after our rounds. The chowder at Lahinch is not to be missed.

Mike Taylor was our driver and was perfect. Helpful, prompt, informative, funny, and professional are some of the adjectives to describe him. The coach was large and accommodating with everyone having more than enough room. Most importantly, Mike got us to our destinations on time and safely.

We experienced every type of weather imaginable. One day was a shorts day with plenty of sunshine and only moderate wind (2 extra clubs). The other days had winds which required shots with 4+ extra clubs. We did get the remnants of two hurricanes which added to the rain and wind.

Five of the caddies we had were off the charts good (clubbing, finding balls. humorous and reading putts). The other younger caddies were better than average but compared to the older caddies, were not as proficient. One day we rode in carts and our fore caddy was awesome. Caddies made a huge difference and I do not see how we could have played decent golf without them.

They’re those who will bypass Doonbeg because of the Trump name. They will have deprived themselves from a great experience. The course conditions were the best of the 7 courses we played. The clubhouse was easily the best.

We had researched a number of companies, before choosing Premier. We obviously made the right choice.

The golf on Old Head was scary good. Waterville was a tough beauty even without the wind gusting over 40. I want another shot at Tralee without the rain and 35 mph winds (we wimped out after nine holes). Ballybunion Cashen was extremely demanding and unique. Ballybunion Old exceeded expectations and had a couple of crazy holes that were even more fun. Lahinch was spectacular. No matter what you think of Trump, he runs a hell of a course at Doonbeg.

If you’re game isn’t sharp or you’re advancing in years, don’t be afraid to move to more forward tees. The caddies will love you for it. BTW, if given the choice, always take a caddie….worth ever penny as entertainment and as a stroke saver.

Our coach driver, Mike was THE BEST. You need not worry about anything with him in charge.

Our hotels were top notch. No cookie cutter facilities were they. It was sometimes difficult to get a full breakfast if we had an early tee time.

All in all Premier puts together a spectacular package to Ireland.
