We specialize in creating custom golf trips for 2 or 20 or more. As we love playing golf on pure links courses ourselves, we especially enjoy tailoring trips to Ireland - the friendly Emerald Isle, or to Scotland - The Home of Golf.
Why Are We Unique?
Our golf tours are set up by Kevin McGrath, who was born in Dublin and is now living in the Southwest of Ireland. Kevin is a long term member of Portmarnock and Lahinch - both courses in the Top 100 in The World. Not only is Kevin a keen 5-handicap golfer, he has decades of first-hand knowledge of the golf culture all over the world. He is able to arrange special events at many world-class venues such as Doonbeg and matches with fellow members of his home clubs.

In September 2010, over 30 golfers joined us for a once-in-a-lifetime golf adventure on one of our
Pre-Ryder Cup trips throughout Ireland in the week before the 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. All three tours ended in Doonbeg for the final three nights and the special 36-Hole tournament over Lahinch and Doonbeg for The 2010 Ryder Cup Commemorative Trophy, specially commissioned from Tipperary Crystal, was won by 85-year old Bud Brylawski of Vermont and Florida. It is fair to say that everyone departed for home with 30+ new best friends after a week that was blessed with beautiful weather throughout.

Your golf experience will be unparalleled, as the logistics of each trip are meticulously planned, and you will also have magical adventures and delightful encounters with natives of the host countries. The camaraderie you will find and the friendships you will form will be life-enhancing and even life-altering as golf enthusiasts all over the world share a passion for this great game like no other.

Our next special promotion will include a chance to experience the Solheim Cup, which will be played at Killeen Castle - just outside of Dublin, Ireland in 2011.
In September 2011, in the week leading up to the Solheim Cup, being held in Ireland for the very first time, we are promoting three special tours across Ireland with all three tours ending up in the 5-Star Lough Erne Resort for the final three nights.

We will hold a unique 36-hole Solheim Cup Commemorative Trophy Event on the spectacular new course designed by Sir Nick Faldo. Participants will then have the option to attend the Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle near Dublin, stay in Ireland to watch the Solheim Cup on TV or travel home.

As an official Solheim Cup affiliated tour operator, Scottsdale Collection is pleased to have the ability to tailor make your itinerary and include full Solheim Cup packages of accommodations, tickets and ground transportation for anyone wishing to attend the event.
