Hi Marc,

The Ireland trip was the most amazing trip and everyday was like living in a fairy tale! Adjectives would be enchanting, magical and beautiful, to name a few. The itinerary you prepared was fabulous, the flow was perfect and the site seeing like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Truly God smiled when he created Ireland, I’ve never seen anything so beautiful with mountains touching oceans, valleys, lakes, farms and such a rich proud culture. Just spectacular.

The accommodations were splendid. Each site had its own beautiful unique feel, if we had to rate each stay we would say that Ashford Castle had the most charm, scenic beauty and activities. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to stay at all three hotels you recommended. Our rooms at each hotel were “grand” and we are so happy that we opted for upgraded rooms with specific views. Dromoland was beautiful and the rooms grand. The lodge feel at Sheen Falls was another highlight, our room overlooked the falls so it was so cool, especially since we could open the windows and hear the water falls all during our stay.

We are so grateful you recommended Bunratty for the medieval banquet experience. It was so cool to go back in time and be entertained by thespians as if they were part of the Irish nobility. The food was delicious, the medieval touches so fun (no eating utensils), and pitchers of wine.  The entertainment was splendid, both acting and singing.  The icing on the cake was as we exited Bunratty we left with melodic sounds of an Irishman playing the bagpipes. Colm topped the night off, as if it could get any better, by taking us to Durty Nelly’s, which was the perfect pub and everything we envisioned an Irish Pub to be.

Every detail you attended to was perfect, from meeting us at the airport, a special delivery of Tullamore Dew, Liam driving us to Ashford, arranging Colm as our Driver/Tour Guide and ending with Conor driving us to the airport for our departure.

Good morning Marc,

This was the best golf trip our group have ever been on. Our driver, Ger was outstanding and was always prompt on his pick-ups and knowledgeable about the surrounding places as we traveled from town to town. We could not have asked for a better person to have because he was looking to help us get the most out of our days, which we appreciated and he is someone who was looking out for your business like it was his. We hadsome places that we picked out for dinners and he was more than happy to accommodate us in our transport to and from these restaurants at night.

Your help in the selection of golf clubs to play and where to stay were spot on. This is what we were looking for in an experience that we all had hoped for. You were a great help from start to finish in the open communication of any question I had. I have been on around 30-40 golf trips here and in many countries and I can honestly say that your company was the finest and best value of any our group has taken. I have beenthe point person in most of these trips and I have never had such smooth sailing on a golf package. It went as seamless as could be imagined. There was not one error or misstep in this week long trip.

I hope that you will post this on your web page and hope that everyone who reads this will jump at the opportunity to partner with such an outstanding professional like yourself. My brothers 60th birthday trip wasone for the ages and we could not be any happier with the performance of you and your staff .I will post this where I can to let others know where to look for a truly well run trip with someone who is knowledgeable and very trustworthy in the handling of a premier golf trip.

With much thanks and appreciation,

Dear Mark,

I have now been home for two days with a bit of jet lag. Once more you excelled yourself with our recent trip to your beautiful country. I am embarrassed by your wonderful generosity on our last night and I am sorry I made you drink red wine rather than your beloved Guinness! It was also a great pleasure to meet Sandra. Keep in touch!

Hi Marc,

Once again you put together a perfect golf trip for us. All the guys were impressed with the entire trip and it would be very difficult to make the trip any better. Thanks again Marc and I hope that at least one more trip is in my future. Will be in touch.

Just a quick note and I will send you a photo or two after I catch up on all my work that has piled up.  It is no exaggeration to say our trip to Ireland was perfect. The Dublin airport pick-up, golf course selection, all hotels (particularly the Moy House), recommendations on what to see, car rental and even the weather was outstanding. You have given us some wonderful memories.

Marc, I just wanted to let you know that the trip to Ireland with my sons was fabulous! Conor and his staff were great to work with and the hotels and golf courses were top notch. I did not know if you were sending Brian a survey or something about our experience but I wanted to let you know myself.

Thanks for the planning. Look forward to coming back.

Now that reality is upon us I wanted to send you a quick mail thanking you for making our Scottish golf excursion a terrific experience. Although we can’t pinpoint our favorite course, we thoroughly enjoyed each course for their own beauty, difficulty and architectural challenge. If any of our friends plan a holiday to Scotland we will be sure to pass your name to them.

Thanks again and cheers.

Marc, the trip was lovely and the Malmaison was a big hit. We had a perfect mix of rural and urban. As a perfect way to end the trip, we were actually to get 8 of us out to play 18 on the Old Course on our final day. I will follow up with some more detail later today after I have had a chance to dig out but I can’t thank you enough for your efforts. Be sure to add Trump to your list of suggested courses as we were able tosneak on there and it was amazing!

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for putting together an awesome trip.  I’m not sure we would change anything. We are so glad we had caddies on every course, they just added to the experience. We were trying torate the courses but found we can’t but Old Head was by far our favourite in Ireland and what can one say about St Andrews! Turnberry was a favourite also, John got up early and played the other course before we left that area. As for rooms, all were wonderful, except the last stay, where the hotel is getting a little tired.

Thank you once again. I’m trying to put together a photo album before I forget everything we have seen. John also got his very first hole in one at Lahinch! Very happy and thanks again,

Marc, we had a fantastic time on the golf trip you arranged for our group. All the courses as well as the accommodations were outstanding.  Tim our driver and guide did an exceptional job as well.

Hi Marc,

The trip was excellent. The two van rentals were large enough to accommodate all of us. The hotel accommodations were great, especially in St. Andrews being so close to the Old Course and the golf courses you selected were first class. There were no issues with any of the things you arranged, great job! Thanks again for making our trip such a memorable one.

Marc, this was the trip of a lifetime, no question about it, there are first tee jitters and then there are first tee jitters at the Old Course. We lucked into a beautiful day and both my wife and Morley’s wife walked the entire 18 holes with us, which made for a very special and very memorable day.

All of the accommodations you chose for us were first rate and the courses were exceptional. Everything went smoothly and there were no issues at any of the hotels or at the courses, or with the vehicle rentals. The only inconvenience, which was certainly out of your control was when Aer Lingus left our clubs behind in Edinburgh. Thanks for the follow-up and all of the attention you paid to the details. It was truly appreciated and made everything that much more special.

Hi Marc,

We had an outstanding trip. The hotels were great as was the golf. Tanner said that the best day of his life was the day we played the Old Course. We just played the three times that you set up for us and it all went smoothly. On the day we played the Old Course we met a couple from Australia that were playing in front of us. You must have set up their trip also because the two Australians, New Zealanders and Americans were all discussing what a fantastic job you do in running the trips and keeping everything going smoothly.

Thanks for the experience and hopefully we can do it again in the near future.

Hi Marc,

I want to send you a personal note on how much we enjoyed our trip and your contribution to making it so successful. My wife was a reluctant traveler until we came around the corner and saw the Culloden House in Inverness. Our stay was delightful which made our golf more fun. The golf was great, tee times perfect and the experiences wonderful. Thank you again for your help.

Marc,

Just a note regarding our recent trip to Ireland. Everything you set up went off perfectly. All of the tee times, hotels, and transportation arrangements went exactly as planned. Ger, our driver was fabulous. He was polite, prompt and accommodating to all of our wishes. We would recommend him to anyone booking a golf package. The side trips went very well and he made sure we had plastic cups and plenty of ice every day.

We all enjoyed Kinsale very much. I personally liked the hotel but a few of the boys thought the rooms a bit cramped. The location right in the middle of town was great and everyone thought the breakfast was the best of all the locations. The Killarney Royal is always a great choice and John at the hotel also makes it a most enjoyable stay. The Lahinch Golf Hotel was great and some of the boys even liked it better than staying at Vaughan Lodge.

I have a number of your cards from the package you left us and will be forwarding them to a couple of different people who have expressed an interest in booking a trip in the future. Hopefully they will be smart enough to use you as the booking agent. Thanks again for another great trip. If you ever need a reference please feel free to use me if needed.

Marc my golf was troublesome but the weather and views more than made up for that. We had a wonderful time and I expect that the young guys will be back a number of times in the years ahead. Our driver Tim was very nice and accommodating. The hotels were good, as were the pubs and the Irish people were as charming as ever.

I would like to thank you and your company for a wonderful experience. The accommodations and golf were fantastic. As for Ger he was timely, polite, informative and all around great guy. In speaking to our group on the way home we could not find anything we would have changed. Once again thank you and if the opportunity arises we would certainly recommend Dunbar Golf Tours to any group making a trip like this.

Hi Marc,

We all had an excellent trip and the weather couldn’t have been better. The golf was outstanding and the hotels were very comfortable. Ireland has a beautiful landscape and some beautiful golf, and the people wereall very nice. Tim was a great driver and fun to be with. He helped out when needed and was always on time. There was a lot of travel between hotels and golf courses and the van was perfect for the size of our group. Thanks for everything, you did a super job! I have our trip all planned out for next time and will be in touch.
