Down. This distance is 146 km’s approximately 1
hour 45 mins. On arrival check into the hotel and

dinner on arrival where you get a chance to meet
with your fellow travellers.

Mountains of Mourne, the Slieve Donard Resort
and Spa stands in six acres of immaculate private
grounds. A golden strand of beach borders one
side while the mighty Royal County Down golf links
frames the other.

This lovingly maintained Victorian hotel is now
home to one of Europe’s finest resort spas and is
equally suited to a short break, residential
conference or even grander events.

Tonight we get to experience the finest culinary
delights. Here the chefs only use the finest fresh
local products to create and array of delicious

DAY 2
GOLF TODAY
After breakfast we head to the Royal County
Down Golf Club for our first game of golf.

Royal County Down is located right next door to
the Slieve Donard Hotel in one of the world’s
most naturally beautiful links settings in the
Murlough Nature Reserve. Against the
magnificent backdrop of the Mountains of
Mourne, the links stretches along the shores of
Dundrum Bay, zigzagging back and forth to
provide a different vista from virtually every hole.

The narrowest ribbons of fairways thread their
way through as impressive a set of sand dunes as
could be imagined. The fairways are surrounded by
purple heather and golden gorse, so beautiful to
look at but so punishing for any who may stray
from the prescribed path.

Our Tee Time has been confirmed at 10.18 am.

After golf the remainder of the evening is free to
unwind. Why not relax in their world class spa or
have a massage and get rid of any tension, aches
and pains.

DAY 4
GOLF-FREE DAY

This is a golf free day. We have included a city
sightseeing tour of Dublin so you can get your
bearings of the city.

In the afternoon you get free time to explore this
great city. Perhaps you’d like to try the ‘black stuff’
at St. James’ Gate Brewery and the Guinness
Storehouse.

Another attraction is Dublin’s Kilmainham Gaol, a
sobering reminder of Ireland’s fight for
independence. Built in 1787, the damp cells of this
former jailhouse held many prominent Irish
nationalists before the gaol was closed down in
1924.

Today visitors can tour the eerie building and
explore its storied past through a number of onsite
exhibits.

The other option is to visit the famous Trinity
College and world’s oldest book. The Book of Kells
is an illustrated manuscript in Latin containing all
four Gospels of the New Testament.

This evening we have included Dress Circle tickets to River Dance. River Dance is a theatrical show
consisting mainly of traditional music and dance. It originated as an interval performance during the
1994 Eurovision song contest, featuring Irish dancing champions Jean Butler and Michael Flatley. It
was then expanded to a stage show which has visited over 450 venues worldwide.

top tees and greens. Tee times to be confirmed.

serving great food with plenty of character.

13 AUG 2019

to Ballybunion Golf Club. This is about 50 minutes

Atlantic Ocean, and is one of the best courses in
Ireland.

Please note there are no motorised carts allowed
on this course and we recommend you take a
caddy for the day. Tee times to be confirmed.

After conquering this difficult course and lunch we
head to the Historic town of Kinsale.

7

The picturesque yachting harbour of Kinsale (Cionn tSáile) is one of many colourful gems strung
along the coastline of County Cork. Narrow winding streets, great restaurants and art galleries.

In the afternoon we check into the Trident Hotel
that is spectacularly located at the water’s edge
and offers tastefully decorated rooms and
stunning views of the harbour.

This evening you have free time to explore this
quirky little town – why not try the Spaniard Inn-

Golf Club. The Old Head of Kinsale in County
Cork is one of Ireland’s most spectacular coastal
areas. This large promontory juts out into the
Atlantic Ocean, rising hundreds of feet above the

coastal bliss it feels like you’ve left the world
behind. It’s just you on this ruggedly beautiful golf
course overlooking the Celtic Sea. Tee Times to be

is a cosy and atmospheric restaurant serving great food.

15 AUG 2019

DAY 9
GOLF TODAY
After breakfast we say goodbye to Kinsale and
continue on to Cork. Here we play at Cork Golf
Club and this, for me is a highlight as many years
ago my father was the Captain of Cork Golf Club.

This premium member’s club is located in Little
Island, close to Cork City. This championship
course winds through exceptional golfing terrain
incorporating old limestone quarries and the inner
reaches of Cork Harbour.

In the afternoon we head to the world-renowned
Ballymaloe House Hotel for our final night and
farewell dinner.

Ballymaloe prides itself on only sourcing local
product and home-grown food from their walled
garden and farm. Their chefs draw up a lunch and
dinner menu daily depending on what comes up
from the garden. This food is amazing and I believe
we have saved the best till last.

9

Myrtle and Ivan Allen opened Ballymaloe House, their home, to the public as a restaurant in 1964
and later as a Hotel. This historic Irish country house is located in beautiful East Cork (southern
Ireland) and is still managed by the Allen family and continues to be celebrated internationally as
the home of Irish country cuisine and warm hospitality.
