Private Chauffeur Between Courses

Golf Tours In Ireland: Let Someone Else Do The Driving

If you’re planning a golf trip to Ireland, the golf is the easy part to look forward to. It’s the logistics that wear people down: getting from the airport to the first tee, between courses that can be a couple of hours apart, and back to where you’re staying after a long day and a drink or two. That’s where a private driver earns their keep, and it’s what we do. We’re not a golf operator and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the people who get you and your clubs there comfortably and on time, so you can put your energy into the round.

Ireland, at your own pace

Travel Together, Arrive Relaxed

A private driver means the whole group travels together, your clubs ride safely, and someone who knows the roads does the driving, so everyone arrives fresh for the round and free to enjoy the evening afterwards. For a group splitting their days across the south-west, where the best links can be a fair drive apart, it’s simply what makes the trip run.

Ireland’s celebrated links run the length of the Atlantic coast, from the south-west up through Clare and Galway to the wilder courses of Mayo and Sligo.

Looking Ahead To 2027

With the Ryder Cup coming to Adare Manor in 2027, a lot more golfers are starting to plan trips to this corner of Ireland, and tee times and accommodation for that stretch are already in demand. If you’re thinking about the build-up years or the event itself, it’s worth sorting your transport early. We’re taking enquiries now for trips around it.
