Hi Tommy.
Just finished our golf trip and we had a great time.
Thank you very much for all your help with the arrangement over the last couple of years!
I will definitely recommend you to friends and will contact you again next time we come to play in this beautiful part of Ireland.
All the best

Hi Tommy,
Just wanted to let you know that everyone had an awesome trip!! 5 Stars!!
It was great to meet you during the trip thanks for taking the time to do this. Also thank Brendan for the round of drinks before dinner while we were in Killarney.
The courses were truly amazing (and much harder than in the US). The hotels were great! Killarney Hotel was a great location! Our driver was great. Very accommodating and friendly.
My experience of booking with you was very easy and you were responsive to all my questions. We would definitely use you again!!
Regards
Tony
Hi Brendan – we have returned home all a bit jaded after a heavy night in Cork which was great craic.
Just to say thank you to Swing Golf and especially Eileen for doing a brilliant job sorting out our week – everything went like clockwork and the boys said it was the best golf trip they have ever been on. Considering the years of golf tours to Europe and America that is some statement.
Thanks to you all and hopefully we can do business again in the near future.

Cork City
The city itself is a vibrant urban space offering visitors everything they could need. Make sure to visit the elaborate English Market and marvel at the wide selection of unusual food, followed by a tour of the nearby high streets, including the recently redeveloped Saint Patrick’s Street.
And for those wishing to absorb the culture of County Cork, make sure to take a trip to the Blarney Castle where you can gain the gift of the gab with a simple kiss upon the Blarney Stone! Animal lovers can also get their fill at the huge Fota Wildlife Park, while history enthusiasts can get lost in the wonder of Cobh Heritage Centre.
One of the most popular attractions in Cork city is Cork City Gaol (Jail), now a unique visitors attraction, this magnificent castle-like building once housed 19th-century prisoners. Visitors get a fascinating insight into day-to-day prison life at a time when the high walls ensured no escape and denied law-abiding citizens the opportunity to see one of the finest examples of Ireland’s architectural heritage.
Killarney
The town lies adjacent to the boundary of the National Park on its north-eastern edge. Its name comes from “Chill Airne”, meaning “church of the sloe”, the original site of which is thought to be the location of the present-day St. Mary’s Church of Ireland. The spectacular scenery of the area, particularly the lakes has been the basis of a tourism industry that has been operating in Killarney for at least 200 years.
The most impressive building in the town is the Cathedral, which was designed by Pugin and finally completed in the 1920’s after some eighty years of construction work.
Other popular attractions in the area would be Muckross House is a magnificent Victorian mansion completed in 1843 located close to the eastern shore of Muckross Lake and set beneath the impressive backdrop of Torc and Mangerton Mountains. The Garden’s surrounding the House are famed for their beauty and can be visited at any time.
Close to the House is the Muckross Traditional Farm, a working farm project that has recreated the Irish rural life of the 1930’s, prior to electrification. Another top attraction in the town would be Ross Castle, a restored 15th Century Castle, located on the banks of the Lower Lake. From here you can take a boat tour of the lakes which gives you a unique view of lakeshore and the islands.
The prime attraction for sightseeing in the region is the world renowned Ring of Kerry, with Killarney regarded as the ideal starting point. The Ring is a 79-km-long circular tourist route that you are best to travel clockwise from Killarney. It follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin – passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh – before returning to Killarney via the N72.
