Planning an Ireland Golf Trip from Scratch
Planning an Ireland Golf Trip is a detailed process for any group of golfers. Essentially, your main question is to ask, what else would we like to do besides playing golf all day? You may decide that there are two parts to your golf trip. Such as playing golf is one part of the trip and the other part are the cultural experiences.
Indeed, when planning and mapping out the critical parts of the trip, it is important to identify what the group would consider a great golf trip. Such as playing the great Irish links, nice hotels to enjoy, the correct type of transportation, sights to see and the restaurants. Ireland is full of culture, some parts can be arranged or let it all happen naturally in the pub!
Initially, you must create an itinerary for the group to identify the golf courses to play, what hotels to use and the type of transport the group will require. Also, consider arranging a presentation night for your members that are interested in a golf trip to Ireland.
