Beyond Golf Experience
Think of Scotland and what comes to mind? Castles, lochs, mountains, tartan, whisky? And Ireland? The Emerald Isle, green mountain, rugged coastlines, music, the Craik, a warm welcome?
So while we understand your first priority may be the golf you have come to play, we know that no trip to Scotland or Ireland can be complete without the opportunity to sample some of the above. And if you’ve come with golfers but don’t golf yourself then these are even more important.
We at The Links Connection, pride ourselves in providing more than just great accommodation and golf – we want you to experience more of what your destination has to offer and we will build into your itinerary all the things you’d want to do.
Scotland
Local Interests
If you’re in Edinburgh in August there’s the International Festival and the Military Tattoo.
If in St Andrews there’s the famous Himalayas putting course or the Walking Tour of the town or the Golf Museum or choose to learn the history of the Old Course with a guided walk on the hallowed turf.
Lochs & Mountains
Scotland isn’t a big country so whichever of our destinations you choose you won’t be far away from beautiful countryside.
Maybe a drive – or a sail – through our lochs stopping for lunch or afternoon tea.
Castles
Edinburgh Castle is often on our clients’ wish list and a day spent in Edinburgh can provide a welcome break from the golf courses. See the Castle; the Royal Mile; The Palace of Holyrood (The Royal Family’s official residence in…
Outdoor Pursuits
Try your hand at Fly Fishing, or Quad Biking, or Falconry – whatever your passion is, we can usually build it into your programme.
Distillery Tours
Delve into the artistry behind Scotland’s national drink, learning about its meticulous crafting process, aging secrets, and, of course, savoring its distinctive flavors through guided tastings that promise an unforgettable sensory experience.
The Links Golf Clinic
A bespoke experience designed to transform your approach to the timeless game of links golf. Nestled amidst some of the world’s most revered links courses. Our Links Golf Clinic Weeks promise to deepen your connection with the game, offering skills that will serve you for a lifetime.
Ireland
History
A trip to Dublin with its Castle, the famous Trinity College, and see the Book of Kells – an ancient manuscript from mediaeval times. Or perhaps Belfast – the birthplace of the Titanic and home to a wonderful new exhibition now.
Food & Drink
Visit the Guinness factory or Bushmill or Jameson’s whisky distilleries or sample the local delicacies or fresh seafood – each area of Ireland has its own specialities
Scenic Drives
The Ring of Kerry, The National Parks, or a day’s adventure through the Gap of Dunloe by pony and cart ( known as Jaunting Cars) followed by an open boat through the Killarney lakes on your return.
A Warm Welcome
Open fires, Trad music, comfort food, Snugs and cosy corners in ancient pubs. Step back to a time steeped in charm.
The evening entertainment can be everything from Michelin starred restaurants to couthy pubs filled with locals – and it is quite unique to Ireland.
Each destination has something to offer
Part of your planning process will be to identify how many non-golfing activities you want to include in your programme. We will listen, and if it’s at all possible, we will deliver.
Our aim is to have you go home with wonderful memories and without regretting some things you missed – we can build an itinerary that meets your wishes.
