​In September, after a brief stop in Liverpool to meet a large group touring there (it was so close we couldn't pass up the opportunity to drop in and meet them), Ron attended the Golf Ireland Conference at the Slieve Russell Hotel and it seemed like only a month or so since he was last in Ireland (oh wait, it was!!!).

The Golf Ireland Conference is important for Golf Away Tours as we meet with all our current suppliers to find out what new and exciting developments are happening at their properties while also meeting and discussing opportunities for our clients with new suppliers. 

We are also given the chance to explore new properties on Familiarization Tours (FAM Trips) and this time we got off the beaten path to North West Ireland and were blown away by some of the courses we saw and played there - absolutely amazing golf!!!!

​Rare tee times available!!

May - September is all but sold out for 2023 at two of the most requested courses in Ireland (we warned everyone in our March newsletter - RCD and Portrush are tough tee times to get!!), but we have a block of 8 times in May at each course that your group of 8 can take advantage of to build a full trip around - first come first served so act quick!

​Ron had to spend 2 grueling weeks in Ireland golfing every day while visiting and staying in many different properties plus trying out new restaurants and experiences, all to try and ensure we offer you the best possible experiences. It's a tough job but someone has to do it!

​The 148th Open Championship took place in 2019 at Royal Portrush.  It was the first Open outside of England and Scotland in 68 years.  The Irish were ready for the occasion and knocked it out of the park with the organisation, the golf course, and the craic.  I was so disappointed that I didn’t attend that epic event that I swore I wouldn’t miss the next big one…and I didn’t.
