Ballybunion,
Waterville, Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Lahinch, Old Head, Tralee, Portmarnock…and
you could go on! The very mention of these Irish golf courses strikes a chord
with golfers across the globe. But there are other courses like Dooks, Connemara,
Rosses Point, Enniscrone, Ballyliffin, Portstewart, Baltray and Royal Dublin that
merely serve to highlight the strength in depth of golf in Ireland.
That Ireland is so revered as a golfing destination is of course due to the quality
of its golf courses. But there are other factors, integral to making Ireland one
of the most popular destinations in the world. The range of accommodations; the
friendliness of the people; the attitude of the golf clubs; the history of the
game; the "craic" in the pubs; the quality of the food; the spectacular
scenery; the unique atmosphere of the country; and the range and quality of the
transportation options. All these factors combine to make a golfing vacation to
Ireland a truly memorable experience.
Those who have visited Ireland
on a golfing holiday will know all about the joys of travelling from place to
place. Whether they decided to take a self-drive trip or opted for a chauffeured
vacation, the travelling element of the trip can often be almost as enjoyable
as the actual golf, given the breathtaking nature of the Irish coastline and scenery
in general. And while the sights by road are wonderful, the sights by air give
a totally different, yet equally stunning perspective.
 There
are times, however, when travelling by road just does not allow the avid
golfer to realise their dream trip. The age-old problem has always been
one of: "so many great golf courses but not enough time". The
option of helicopter transportation or "Heli Golf", as it's
known, is a perfect option and makes the otherwise logistically impossible,
distinctly possible. Who hasn't dreamt of playing 18 holes at Ballybunion
in the morning and following that up with 18 holes at Royal County Down
in the afternoon? Well, that is exactly the kind of thing that Helicopter
Golf facilitates.
Though our clients can fly every day of their trip
if they wish, the beauty of Helicopter Golf in Ireland lies in the fact that the
helicopter option need not be used every day. Our clients can also choose road
transportation for some of the trip and fly only on the logistically difficult
days. |
