Designed by Mark Parsinen (Kingsbarns) and Gil Hanes, this is a true links course in every sense, with the Moray Firth brought into perspective as much as possible. Clever mounding ensures most holes are played in isolation from the rest. A specific feature prominent over the entire layout, is the use of expansive wild looking waste bunkering, which is also combined with strategic riveted face bunkers give the course a wonderfully natural look. Only opened for play in July 2009 the course is already receiving international recognition and awards.

A walking course where pull carts are included in the package. (Caddies can be requested and paid directly)

THURSDAY 02Aug12 – DUBLIN, IRELAND

Portmarnock Golf Club was formed in 1893. It lies on peninsula about two miles long to the north of Dublin City and covers some 500 acres. It is universally acknowledged as one of the truly great links courses, its quality and location have made it a splendid venue for some of the game’s great events, from the British Amateur Championship of 1949, to the Canada Cup in 1960, the 1991 Walker Cup and 12 stagings of the revived Irish Open. Within the curve of the coastline formed by Howth peninsula, it offers stunning views of Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island, rising sharply from deep waters. But above all, there is the charm of its delightful turf, the wildness, the solitude of the sandhills and the sea, and the ever-present challenge of the wind. No two successive holes play in the same direction so it demands a continual discernment of wind direction. The course has some extraordinary holes including the 15th, which is regarded by Arnold Palmer as the finest par 3 in the world. It is invariably rated as one of Ireland’s top three courses, like all the greats, Portmarnock offers a strong and potentially hazardous finish.

FRIDAY 03AUG12 – HOLYHEAD, WALES

Conwy Golf Club is one of Wales foremost championship courses. Founded in 1890, the course lies at the mouth of the River Conwy and is a flat links layout allowing for easy walking as it winds it way through the sand hills and gorse. A spectacular setting between mountain, castle, river and sea. The course measures 6,647 yards long but coastal golf is always challenging and make no mistake when the wind blows the true testing nature of Conwy is revealed. There are not two successive holes where the golfer would play with or into the wind. A striking feature is the last three holes which are of slightly different characteristics. Their difficulty lies in the need for accuracy in both the tee shots and approach to the greens. Host venue to the Wales Senior Open for the last two years.

Essentially a walking course a mixture of pull trolleys, carts (limited) are included in the package price.

Distance from port: circa 45mins

The Albatros is a demanding course is one of the best and arguably toughest layouts in France. The open and often undulating terrain provides great definition to the holes, while long fescue grasses and gorse-like bushes lie in wait for wayward drives. Significant dune-like landscaping has given a British links-like feel to much of the course, while the water-laden closing stretch is more American in character. The putting surfaces are large and firm, and the whole site excellently maintained as a standard-bearer for golf in France.

TUESDAY 25SEP12 – ROME, ITALY

Roma Acquasanta. Located just 5km south east of Rome. This is one of Italy’s oldest clubs and there is no doubting the old-style charm and sense of history that surrounds this club. The course is a very pleasant, rolling parkland layout, that has stood the test of time, and still provides golfers of all levels with a thorough and enjoyable examination. The rise and fall of the course, as it follows the natural contours of this surprisingly rural environment constantly demands good course management and skilful shot-making. The sometimes narrow and often gently sweeping fairways are lined with attractive mediterranean pines, eucalyptus and cypresses. Relatively light bunkering is deployed around the usually small greens. Additionally you will see several ancient constructions (not least the aqueduct), farther into the distance you look onto a scenic array of villages, hills and mountains.

The course is surrounded by the Ligurian mountains and plays through a landscape of cedars, cypresses and pines. It is not long at just over 6,200 yards and a par 70 but most holes will demand accuracy while three small streams come into play throughout the layout.

From its lofty perch high above the town of Sainte Maxime, this immensely scenic and testing golf course offers stunning views across the bay and to St.Tropez. Sainte Maxime was designed by Don and Peter Harradine and they did an impressive job of transforming the hilly terrain into a playable layout. It is fare to say the accurate players may fair better than the wayward long hitter. The front nine plays into a valley, while water threatens on two holes. The more elevated and scenic back nine is when the views are offered over the Mediterranean Sean and to the inland forested hills.

There are no less than 11 elevated tee shots giving the golfer a dramatic and exciting perspective of the hole in front of them. Combined with sweeping fairways, mature forest, strategic water hazards and fast, true-rolling greens, it is a compelling golf experience. The Greens are well bunkered undulating and always in excellent condition, while the presence of the lakes blend perfectly with the landscape to form creative semi island greens.

MONDAY, 15JUL13 – BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND – GOLF DAY

Today play at Royal County Down. Located in the town of Newcastle to the south of Belfast. Consistently ranked in the top 10 courses in the world, this is a true test of links golf set against the magnificent backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne.

The links stretches along the shores of Dundrum Bay, zigzagging back and forth to provide a different vista from virtually every hole. The narrowest ribbons of fairways thread their way through as impressive a set of sand dunes as could be imagined. The fairways are surrounded by purple heather and golden gorse, so beautiful to look at but so punishing for any who may stray from the prescribed path. The ‘bearded’ bunkers are world famous and feature overhanging lips of marram, red fescue and heather. The greens are fast and many are domed, rejecting any shot lacking conviction. This is a true test for any players on what is one of the toughest courses in the British Isles.

TUESDAY, 16JUL13 – GREENOCK, SCOTLAND – GOLF DAY

Play today at The Carrick on Loch Lomond.  Named after the Canadian Course Architect, Doug Carrick and opened for play in June 2007.  The course follows traditional Scottish heathland style and uses every inch of the dramatic landscape straddling the fault lines between the Scottish lowlands and highlands with nine holes set in each.  Some of the elevated holes offer spectacular views of Loch Lomond to the west and Ben Lomond to the north, providing not only stimulating and challenging golf, but some breathtaking photo opportunities, none more so than the elevated tee 80ft above the green at the signature hole, the 199-yard, par 3, 14th called ‘Tappet Doon’.

The greens are vast and unless you are on the correct side of the hole with your approach you will find two putts a real challenge.  There are some water hazards in play notably on the #2, #3 & #4.  A course that generally plays longer than the yardage on the card.

Play today at Kingsbarns Golf Links, a World Top 100 venue. Kingsbarns Golf Links only opened for play in the year 2000, and has joined the great courses of nearby St Andrews and Carnoustie, bringing with it a new dimension to the traditional Scottish game. Designed by Mark Parsinen & Kyle Philips, the course makes excellent use of the natural surroundings which will continually have you thinking its been around for a hundred years or more.

The layout is expansive and undulating and provides ever present views onto the shoreline and out across the North Sea. Everything you would expect of a top quality links course is here in abundance, classic links holes arranged in two out and back loops, wide sweeping fairways and large undulating greens. From the tee the course is forgiving, but stray from the desired line and you face the tougher approach to the green. The greens are testing and will require an excellent judgement of pace and line.

Today, attend the final round of the 142nd Open Golf Championship at Muirfield.

The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, as the golf club at Muirfield is properly known, is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world, and the source of the earliest written rules of golf, which date back to 1744. The club has been based at Muirfield since 1891 after moving from their previous home at the links in nearby Musselburgh. The course is renowned amongst golfers as being perhaps the fairest test of all the Open venues, with few of the quirky bounces and hidden danger that links courses often contain. Two circuits of nine rotate in opposite directions, the back nine looping inside the front nine, ensuring that the golfer is never faced with the same wind direction on two consecutive holes. Muirfield will host the Open for a 16th time with previous winners including Els, Faldo, Watson, Nicklaus, Player, Hagen and Vardon.

Transfers from Azamara Quest in Leith to Gullane (Muirfield) will operate to a scheduled timetable giving flexibility during the day to stay as long as you wish at the tournament.
