Testimonials

Maura

We wanted to say thank you for all your efforts on our Scotland tour. Everything went perfectly from the moment we were greeted at the Glasgow airport. The minivan was perfect for a party of four and the courses were absolutely magnificent as were the accommodations. The weather even cooperated for the most part, 40 mph winds not withstanding. Again, thanks much for all your efforts. Our trip was perfect and I’d be delighted to serve as a reference should you wish.

Best regards, DD, Northbrook, IL

Maura,

Wow, what a trip!

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the trip you put together for us. I had heard with Kohler and Bandon who needs to go abroad.
The answer is simple, any real golf enthusiast who seeks the best of the best. While I love Kohler and Bandon,
this experience was very different from those. Royals Birkdale, Portrush and County Down were breathtaking,
challenging and rank high in the top golf courses I have ever played.
The Slieve was over the top, too.
Irish Links did another great job for Yudaman.
I have and will continue to tell my friends of your exceptional service and attention to detail.

Yudagirl!

Maura:

What a fabulous trip we had to Ireland. The courses were perfect with unbelievable views not to
mention great course conditions and set up. Weather was fine in the 70's F most of the days.
No rain gear was necessary and certainly no winter garb was needed, as well.
The accomodations were excellent ........
Jimmy was very cordial and a safe driver knowing his way around on those very narrow roads.

I would certainly recommend your services to any potential customers.

Hi Maura

Everything IRISH LINKS did was great - from planning to execution, nothing could have been better! Kevin O'Sullivan, our driver, is a great driver, fun and interesting person. Waterville, Lahinch, Doonbeg and Ballybunion were all great but for different reasons - there were nothing but positives. We will definitely contact you again for our next trip.

Dear Maura

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know the trip was just great. In short - it couldn't be better. The courses were A-1, we had a super reception at every club and our driver, Jerry McElligot, was exceptional. The restaurants that were set up for us were excellent. By the way, the weather was perfect for golf - and no rain! How can you beat that? We are much appreciative, Most sincerely, B.C.,
Bridgton, ME.

Dear Maura

I never fully expressed my thanks to you.
Our 2006 SW Ireland links trip was quite simply the best golf outing I've ever been on!

Our group of 8 seemed to be an ideal number to have. Your planning and trip coordination went without a hitch, our driver Dave was a hoot and I'd recommend him as a driver, if possible, to anyone as a driver for their group.

The owners of the Vaughan Lodge in Lahinch, Michael and Maria, were/are the best Inn proprietors I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. They literally made you feel at home. Their food was super and the best bedding I've ever experienced in lodging or hotels.

Don't hesitate to give my name and number to anyone considering using your tour and expertise in planning the best golf outing of their lives.

I wanted to take a moment and give you a big "thank you and hug" from the group for a job well done. We did not have a hitch. Our driver, Mike, was absolutely excellent - a very caring person, knowledgeable and a fabulous driver.

The hotels were wonderful...your suggestions for dinner were perfect - we enjoyed each and every one of them for their fine food, atmosphere and Irish charm...

So all in all, Maura, you had 8 very happy clients - we will all highly recommend your company and services. ...this was our first visit to Ireland and definitely not our last…
Best regards,

Dear Maura,

Even though the challenge we gave you for the 2007 trip to Ireland and Scotland was next to impossible, the planning and execution of the 10 straight days of golf were PERFECT in every way.The driver of our luxury coach, Robbie Gilmore, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The owner's suite at Doonbeg was special.The Waterville House was as scenic and restful as in the past. The Glassdrumman Lodge could not have been any more fun and accommodating to our late arrival. The lodges at Turnberry are Five Star.The dining was excellent every night. We never had an average meal. We really enjoyed dinner at the Dunvagen in St. Andrews. The golf courses were all magnificent and as challenging as ever. Congratulations for exceeding our expectations.
We cannot thank you enough!We look forward to planning our next trip with you.
With appreciation and thanks from all of us,

Maura,

I wanted to let you know that our group thoroughly enjoyed our golf trip to Ireland. 

The courses were spectacular, the accommodations first rate, and our driver Dave was a great guy who went the extra step to make us feel totally welcome in Ireland.  While all of the accommodations were quite good, we were all extremely impressed with the Vaughn Inn in Lahinch which we all would highly recommend as a must stay location for Lahinch based groups.  We were fortunate to be blessed with exceptionally good weather.  

All in all you and your staff did a great job in putting together the trip of a lifetime for us all.  

We look forward to letting you plan our next trip for us.

Hi Maura,

The McCormick family had an absolutely fabulous and wonderful trip to Ireland and thank you for your perfect arrangements. We really appreciated alternating two night stays with one night as well as city and country venues.  Everything was just perfect. 

We loved every place we stayed and loved the staff everywhere. The golfers in the group know they couldn't have played better courses to get a feel  for golf in Ireland. We can't thank you enough for your wonderful arrangements that suited our family perfectly.  Your staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating and we all thank you for making our first trip to Ireland the trip of a lifetime. 

Thank you again for everything you did for us and if we ever travel to Ireland again we will be contacting you.

Maura,

I just wanted to say thanks for what was a very successful and uneventful
(as far as problems go) trip.  The courses were great, the accommodations excellent, dinner choices solid and travel easy.   The guys had a great time; unbelievably, it stopped raining once we got to our first course and we didn’t see a drop for the week! 

Thanks to you and your staff for arranging such a great trip.

All the best,
LC,  Wayland, MA

Dear Maura.

The trip went very smoothly and all my friends think I’m a world class trip planner, so kudos to you! Dave Spillane was an absolutely terrific driver and host.

I ran into a group from Sacramento in Brown’s restaurant, who had just finished
10 days in Scotland, were vacationing in Ireland, and were hungry to play there
next time. I gave them your website and a solid recommendation,
so hope they follow up.

Until the next one, many thanks.

PR, Burlington, VT

You did it again! We had a great time in St. Andrews. I’m sure we’ll be booking another trip soon. Thanks again."

"It really would be hard to improve on this trip. Eamonn was the very best driver and guide that anyone could ask for. Bus was special also. For many reasons it was the trip of a lifetime!!!

HO, Signal Mtn, TN

"Maura, the trip was perfect! The hotels, the restaurants, the golf…..even the weather. Our driver George was terrific - cheerful and very helpful. He is the best!!!! And so are you!!!!!! Thank you for everything.

RK, Manhattan, New York.

"We had a great trip. Jamie our driver was excellent. The hotels were great as well, the restaurant recommendations were terrific. The golf was, of course, the best! We have done the trip now 4 times to both Ireland and Scotland. No trip takes a back seat to the Northwest! Carne was our overall favorite, followed closely by Enniscrone and Sandy Hills at Rosapenna. Rosses Point a world class layout and beautiful. All in all an outstanding trip. Your advice was great, the execution flawless.

SS, Waban, MA.
