Celtic
Links
on Par and on Course
The difficulty in choosing your golf society outing
or your touring itinerary for Scotland and Ireland is the sheer diversity
of courses and destinations available. Wherever you look there's another
"must play" or "hidden gem".
What we've done for 2005 is bring together some of
our clients' favourite courses and given a brief overview of them all.
The courses are sorted by area and give information on the style of
course, some subjective comments and green fee and playing information.
Each month we'll feature a different "Six of the
Best" to give you an idea of where to play.

Ballyliffin
Golf Club
This
is truly Irish Golf at its best. Two courses at Ballyliffin provide
for an excellent short break but the newer Glashedy Links is the
masterpiece. With the roar of the Atlantic ever present the course
provides a magnificent challenge that is as difficult to match
as it is to master. Must Play...

Boat
of Garten
One
of the four courses being used for the inaugural Speyside Golf
Classic in 2001, the Boat is just wonderful. Located in the heart
of Speyside's whisky country with The cairngorm Mountains as the
backdrop it is a superb course and rightly deserves the overused
"Hidden Gem" tag.

Druids
Glen Golf Club
Home
to three Murphys Irish Opens in recent years, Druids Glen is one
of the best parkland courses in the country and so it should be
with the investment made in it. The course has signature holes
in abundance and in places the August influence is apparent. A
Great course for the annual golf trip!

Kingsbarns
Golf Links
Rapidly
becoming Scotland's version of The Old Head of Kinsale. The magnificent
beast of a course will only add to St.Andrew's desirability as
an overseas golf destination. Magnificent links course and
already much in demand for 2001 from The States.
