Speciality Ireland Golf Tours - Spotlight on Hidden Gems of Irish Golf

Enniscrone Golf Club, County Sligo, Ireland - Winner of the IGTOA Course of the Year 2008- Situated beside the picturesque seaside town of Enniscrone (also spelt as Inniscrone), the golf course affords panoramic views of Killala Bay, Bartra Island and sandy beaches with Nephin and the Ox Mountains forming the backdrop. Founded in 1918, redesigned by Eddie Hackett in 1974 and by Donald Steel in 2001, this Irish championship course is one of Ireland's finest authentic golf links. Apart from the championship links known as The Dunes, there is also the splendid 9 hole Scurmore course. Don't forget to include Enniscrone on your next golf tour in Ireland. Dooks Golf Club, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Dooks Golf Club, situated in a panoramic setting in a corner of Dingle Bay, was founded in 1889 and is one of the ten oldest Golf Clubs in Ireland. Golf was first played on this particular stretch of true sea-side links by soldiers from The Curragh (where golf came to Ireland in 1883), who were billeted in nearby Glenbeigh for artillery practice on the Rossbeigh dunes. For many years Dooks was a 9 hole course whose original members were from the titled residents of Caragh Lake or active and retired members of the Army. Over the years business and professional people from Killorglin and mid-Kerry tried their hands at golf and became enraptured by the magic of Dooks and intrigued by the game of golf. A great golfing experience in Ireland and great value also!

"January 2007 Cathal I am writing to extend our many thanks for all the golf tour arrangements your company has successfully concluded for my many golf buddies from Australia. Annually, since 2003 you have been able to facilitate a tour group ranging in size from 4 to 14 of very enthusiastic Aussies. During this time, we have managed to play most of the great courses of Ireland, and, most of the great courses of Scotland as well. The great skills you have shown on each tour are complimented by your caring and attentive style, forever trying to satisfy our varied travel needs and destinations. This all occurs under a mantle of relative Irish calm and competence. The fact that we have returned annually from the other side of the world, and have you and your company plan and conduct our golf tours to your fabulous country is testament to the consistent excellent standard of service you provide. So, on behalf of the large Aussie contingent who have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy and appreciate your care and attentive service, congratulations on a job well done. Best wishes and see you again!Bryan Dorman Melbourne, Australia. "

"June 2010 Hi Cathal- We arrived home safely on Tuesday evening to a very warm Toronto. On behalf of all 8 guys in the group, I would like to thank you organizing a wonderful golfing trip. Each person thoroughly enjoyed every part including the bus service, the golf courses and the wonderful hotels. They were even asking me to start organizing the next trip. I know for sure all the guys will certainly recommend your company to anyone travelling to Ireland for golf. Good luck in the future and hopefully our paths will cross again. Thanks Joe Taylor, Canada

I should have seen it coming the day I started dealing with Cathal O'Donoghue from Specialty Golf who from day one crafted and tailored the most incredible golf tour that could be fit into three days. Please keep up the hard work and my group will be sure to return. It is without reservation that I will recommend this organization to anyone planning this type of trip. Jim Hector Murphy, NY, USA"

"September 2009 - We have just returned from a wonderful Speciality Golf vacation in south-west Ireland. Our main reason for the trip was to experience golfing on Old Head, Ballybunion, Doonbeg and Lahinch. Needless to say we were not disappointed. The accomodations were outstanding and our Driver was more than helpful in getting us to the different destinations. We would return to Ireland again in a nano-second. Rachel & Ian Brady, Wellington, Canada"

"September 2009 -Our golf trip to Mid and Southwest Ireland 2009 was perfectly planned by Speciality Golf. All details like routes, distances, golf courses, starting times and hotels were superbly chosen and well organized. Very good value for money at Speciality Golf. Ireland is a perfect golf destination for good golfers. Ballybunion is one the the best golf courses and the best links course I´ve played. Do not miss!

The itinerary you put together through the west and northwest was outstanding...Hospitality was wonderful throughout, particularly at the family-run Rosapenna Hotel, and the Bushmills Inn renovations keep it one of the best spots in the UK/Ireland. We appreciate all the effort you and Speciality Golf invested in making our tour such a great experience. Best regards, Mike and Alex Jenkins Boston"

It was immediately obvious that our trip would be "first class" when we saw the luxury coach that had more than ample room for all of us during our travels.

He was always punctual and went out of his way to accomodate all our requests Thanks for making this vacation one that I will always remember! August 006 Russell V Florida
