An Update on Coronavirus – 25th March 2020

We are experiencing unprecedented events, with developments happening on a daily if not hourly basis. Our first concern is everyone’s health, and we hope you are all taking the necessary precautions.

You chose Connoisseur Golf because of our personal approach and customer service – and that is what you are going to receive. We are working our way through upcoming client files in date order on a case-by-case basis. As you can appreciate this is a large, time-consuming process – which we are tackling with a positive outlook.

Although we are bound by our terms and conditions, we treat our clientele like a family and we will always work towards finding you the best outcome. Depending upon your arrival date, and availability, we may be able to move the dates of your trip to later in 2020.

Please bear with us as we work our way towards your group. If you were beginning your itinerary in the months of April or May you will have either already been contacted or we will be contacting you very shortly.

LUXURY GOLF VACATIONS

Back in 2006, Connoisseur Golf was founded from a love of links golf and an appreciation of the very highest standards in international travel. Since that time we have been designing and hosting bespoke luxury golf trips for individual groups, blue chip corporations and some of the most revered golf clubs in the world.

These clients enjoy the very best golf that Scotland and Ireland have to offer. They play the most sought after golf courses. They stay at iconic five star hotels, luxury castles, and exclusive private properties. They are transported to the tee in the comfort of a Mercedes or a luxury helicopter. They are assisted by the top caddies, dine at the best tables and receive an unparalleled level of service on and off the course. They always return for a second trip…

GRAEME MCDOWELL

Knowing that no one has ever shot a lower score in a tournament round on The Old Course is a proud memory to have. It's not just the course that makes the place feel special - it's the town and history surrounding it.

If you're going to St Andrews, get in touch with Connoisseur Golf. They are flawless when it comes to delivering on arrangements and reservations. Their list of contacts is endless, and I would recommend them to anyone that requires that 'extra' bit of class.

OUR WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE

Throughout the past decade we have grown to become the most sought after name in luxury golf travel. From our office, overlooking the 18th green of the Old Course in St Andrews, our team live and breathe the game of golf.

Over the years we have established a network of associates that assist us in delivering our tours to the highest possible specification. They include golf club general managers, hotel concierges, caddie masters and caddies, drivers, tour guides, restaurateurs and even pilots. All of whom play an important role in allowing us to deliver the finest golf tours and event hosting available in either Scotland or Ireland.

Jim Stewart
As owner of Connoisseur Golf, I oversee all of our operations throughout both countries.

Our business is personal, and I make a point of welcoming each and every one of our valued clients to Scotland or Ireland. I have also experienced and reviewed every golf course and accommodation option on your itinerary and you can be assured of the quality of each and every one.

I hope one day to welcome you and your friends to the home of golf.
Caroline Kennedy
From your first e-mail enquiry, to building your itinerary, to arrival night welcome drinks, even arranging your caddies on the first tee – Caroline will take care of all your requirements.

A background of hosting a high end portfolio of clients in both Meribel and Turnberry has given Caroline the skills and personality that will turn your golf trip into the memory of a lifetime.
Sean Thompson
Raised on the links at St Andrews, Sean has held Assistant Professional positions at several exclusive clubs across Scotland and Canada. Now based in Calgary he looks after a wide portfolio of our North American clients, and furnishes our groups with insightful, detailed information on all our courses, hotels and transportation options. For those that are unaccustomed to making golf trips to Scotland or Ireland, Sean is happy to accompany groups across the Atlantic throughout the season.
Drivers
Anyone who may have been on a golfing tour in Scotland or Ireland before will understand that the driver is an essential element in helping make the tour a success.

Whilst they are responsible for safely and comfortably getting you from one destination to another, they are also your essential guides to the country and it’s treasures. Amongst other things, Connoisseur’s experienced drivers can advise you on daily dress codes, weather, restaurants, bars and sightseeing. They know every golf course, hotel and surrounding area like the back of his or her hand.

David (pictured) is one of a number of our drivers who maintains a low handicap at a links course, and delivers exactly the level of service you require.
Pilots
Like all other areas of our business, transferring clients by helicopter is no different. We use the best fleet and best pilots. Clark has flown regularly for us throughout the past seven years, and executes every job with extreme professionalism and a warm personality.

Not only does a helicopter allow you to comfortably play 36 holes in a day on remote courses, but it also allows you to view our spectacular terrain and coastlines from the best position imaginable. In fact, you haven’t properly experienced links golf until Clark drops you off 50 yards from the tee at Royal Dornoch and hands you your clubs.

LOCATIONS

Five of the current Open Championship courses are to be found in Scotland – Turnberry, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Royal Troon and The Old Course at St Andrews. Golf has been played here for six hundred years, and it really is the mecca for those wanting to experience the most beautiful, natural rugged links golf courses in the world.

Ireland boasts two of the top ten ranked golf courses in the world – Royal County Down and Royal Portrush, in addition to many golfers spiritual home at Ballybunion. The courses are more undulating and spectacular than their Scottish counterparts, and often very exposed to the wild Atlantic winds. There are several different areas to base your trip around.
