Grab Your Golf Shoes, We’re Going to Ireland! 

That’s right, clear your schedule, phone a friend and get ready for some of the greatest rounds of golf you’ll ever play — not to mention, world-renowned resorts and Irish-centric, delicious food and beverages. From Saturday, June 22^nd, to Sunday, June 30^th, 2019, 19 members and their guests will accompany Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club Golf Director Ryan Gray on the Dublin Northern/Ireland Golf Tour 2019 — made possible by Premier Irish Golf Tours’ David McMahon. Want to get in on nine days of nonstop golf, exclusive beer tasting and complimentary meals with never-ending views? Registration for members and guests is now open, and information is readily available!

Summertime on the Emerald Isle

Ryan and his staff chose Ireland due to the overwhelming response from membership. They will tour the north side of Emerald Isle, home of Royal County Down — the number one golf course in the world. This visit will include 36 holes alone, in addition to eight rounds of golf on courses that would make athletes Aaron Wise and Georgia Hall jealous. And although this is a recreational trip, some fun wagering will go along with it.

After breakfast in cities like Dublin, Portrush and Portmarnock, a concierge driver aboard a luxury coach will take golfers to their daily destinations. Luxury is short for a widescreen television, fully stocked fridge and leather chairs fit for a sea captain. Excursions include Jameson Whiskey and Bushmills Inn distilleries, a 90-minute tutored, private connoisseur session at the Guinness Storehouse, and dinner in the members-only clubhouse at Royal County Down Golf Club.

So, if the rich history of golf progression from traditional style to modern times, along with sensory journeys through the tales and traditions of Irish spirits, is your thing, you’re on the right track.

Prepping for the Trip of a Lifetime

Already, Premier Irish Golf Tours is catering to the discernible golfer looking for quality experiences, with reasonably priced tours in not-to-be-believed locations, as well as itineraries customized by multigenerational golf professionals. Here in Horse Country, Ryan is setting up a site where traveling members of Golden Ocala can purchase discounted golf equipment for the upcoming trip, as well as researching international journeys of this kind. He will also offer group clinics to perfect one’s craft as the tour draws near.

All you have to do is listen to your caddy, play conservatively, and inquire about your airfare, trip insurance and non-complimentary meals upon registration. Ten of the 19 spots are now filled. So, if you are a member who is interested in taking the trip of a lifetime, register and start gathering up your accompanying friends and relatives right away.
