18 hole Parkland Course with a newly renovated club house for
that 19th hole.

one spectacular place.

Ireland is a beautiful tour destination, rich in history and culture. My friend has decided to take up some golfing as well as some other things to this destination. He has also subscribed to take on a chauffered tour of Ireland with is wife. They are both golf players and fans and they have received a discount through travel to pick up around 50 percent of the already decently priced tour which weighs in at around 800.00 dollars. Ive never taken a tour like this and I have requested they do plenty of photos and video where possible so that I can share in their once in a lifetime experience.
