This exclusive experience is endorsed by Sam Torrance, winning Ryder Cup Captain and golf course designer. Get limber with this all-inclusive experience for golfers. It begins with a eucalyptus foot bath, continues to an invigorating exfoliation and stretch massage focusing on key need areas of golfers, and finishes with a wrap, which includes a mini-facial to help protect the skin from environmental damage caused by weather conditions out on the course. “Looking after your body before and after you golf is as important as practicing your swing. This treatment is the perfect tonic to leave you invigorated and ready to enjoy another round of golf or a fine dinner at Fairmont St Andrews,” raves Sam Torrance.

The Town of Kinsale

kinsaleKinsale is an excellent town to stop by on your tour of the Southwest of Ireland.  With only a 20 minute drive to Old Head and with several restaurants offering excellent seafood dining, e.g. Jim Edwards and Man Friday, you are spoiled for choice.

Exciting news for next year is that the Actons Hotel is currently undergoing a massive refurbishment and changing to a small boutique hotel – an ideal addition to the area.  Further details to follow at the start of 2013.

Distillery Tour Thanks to the Kintyre Express

springbankDuring the season, several of my groups have enjoyed a trip on the Kintyre Express to play Machrihanish Golf Course.  My last group also enjoyed combining a whisky tour with a day of golf; they travelled to Springbank Distillery which is about 20 minutes from Machrihanish.  With several tours and different experiences offered by the Distillery, the group really enjoyed the Scottish experience.  Highly recommended.

Montalto Estate

[singlepic id=19 w=320 h=240 float=]  Monalto is a privately owned Estate nestled in the picturesque surroundings of the County Down countryside.  With Northern Ireland becoming a much more popular destination for golfers, thanks to the on-course success of Graeme McDowell, Darren Clarke and, in particular, Rory McIlroy, Royal County Down and Royal Portrush have never seen so many visitors.  PerryGolf are always on the look out for properties to use that meet the quality our clients expect and Montalto Estate is one we’ve recently become aware of and which could work out perfectly for the right group.  It has 10 deluxe bedrooms, so for groups of guys wanting single rooms or indeed a large party of couples, it could work out perfectly as an exclusive use property…which would make your trip to Ireland even more special.

PerryGolf’s South African Travellers

Had a lovely report back from one of our South African groups who recently had a great trip to Ireland.   Some of the highlights were staying and playing at the Lodge at Doonbeg, the pubs and camaraderie in Killarney, and the spectacular Old Head Golf Links which literally nearly blew them away!  One of the special moments…arriving at Waterville Golf Links where the South African flag was raised in their honour, followed by a fantastic round there.  Oh and they enjoyed the Guinness too!
