Eileen was a fantastic coordinator / advisor for a trip down the Southwest Coast of Ireland. We hit all the course we were dreaming about and she made the whole process simple, efficient plus timely with all interactions. We made a few last minute changes and she was ‘all over it’. Prior to booking, I had explored a couple of companies and I am really happy going with Swing.

They were amazing!

Ireland 2025

We first used Swing Golf in 2023 for a group golfing trip to Ireland. Lee, our driver provided many options for no-golf travel days. He further contacted a friend for and exclusive non-bias talk about the history of the interactions between the protestants and the Catholics.
They set extremely high level of excellence on our first trip, which was amazingly surpassed on this trip.

Ken our driver was excellent. His attention to detail and personality made him part of the group. His commentary and laughter were outstanding!
Ken even arranged for us to meet up with Lee, who had already been scheduled with another group.

Our trip can be summed up in Ken's own words: "Yes, In Deedie"

The whole process of securing tee times at the courses we chose was seamless. The tee times worked will with our driving times to allow us to enjoy the countryside and the hospitality at each course's clubhouse.
