ITINERARY

Day 1

Day 1

Arrive at the Shannon Airport and drive 2 hours south to Killarney.

Recommended Sightseeing: Visit Bunratty Castle

The most complete and authentic castle in Ireland, Bunratty Castle is an iconic 15th century fortress which sits alongside the Bunratty Folk Park, a ‘living’ village set on 26 acres of unspolit Clare countryside. From the feasts of the castles’ medieval lords and ladies to the lives of 19th century villagers, together they represent a journey through the history of Irish social classes.

Check-In: Killarney Plaza Hotel (5 Nights)

The Killarney Plaza Hotel is a 4-star hotel overlooking Killarney National Park in the Killarney town-center. Each of the hotel’s nearly 200 rooms overlook either the town or park and they have their own unique style, combining fine wood, soft furnishing and marble. It’s simply hard to go wrong with the prime location and luxury accommodations at the gateway to the world-famous Ring of Kerry.

*Today’s pricing includes upgraded Deluxe Twin rooms for shared occupancy.

Day 2

Day 2

Drive 40 minutes west to Glenbeigh.

Golf: Dooks

Founded in 1889, Dooks is one of Ireland’s oldest clubs and also one of it’s most beautiful. The course sits along the Ring of Kerry between the McGillycuddy Reeks mountains and Dingle Bay and its distinct, quirky layout is an absolute joy to play.

Recommended Sightseeing: Tour the Gap of Dunloe

Perhaps the ultimate way to experience the beauty of the Iveragh Peninsula is with a tour through the famous Gap of Dunloe, which is an ice age mountain pass carved between the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and Purple Mountain. Visitors can travers the pass on foot or via horse-drawn carriage, starting at Kate Kearney’s Cottage and crossing the Head of the Gap before descending down through Black Valley to Lord Brandon’s Cottage.

Day 3

Day 3

Drive 1 hour and 30 minutes southwest to Waterville.

Golf: Waterville

Located at the end of the Ring of Kerry, Waterville effortlessly encapsulates the beauty and serenity of County Kerry’s Macgillycuddy’s Reeks Mountains and Atlantic shoreline. Don’t be fooled though, as the course is as challenging as they come. In fact, member Tiger Woods has been known to fine-tune his game there in advance of the Open Championship.

Waterville

Recommended Sightseeing: Explore the Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry is a circular route that stretches over 100 miles around the Iveragh Peninsula and it is equal parts beautiful and fascinating. There is too much to do and see in one trip, but some highlights that we recommend are the Gap of Dunloe, Staigue Stone Fort, the towns of Kenmare and Cahersiveen, and the Skellig Islands off the end of the peninsula.

Day 4

Day 4

Drive 1 hour and 40 minutes southeast to Old Head.

Golf: Old Head

Dangling off of Ireland’s southern coast atop a promontory that towers hundreds of feet above the Atlantic, the Links of Old Head occupies perhaps the most spectacular setting for golf on the planet. Enough said.

Old Head

Recommended Sightseeing: Explore Kinsale

The historic fishing town of Kinsale in County Cork is both delightful and significant. Colorful buildings sit along cobblestone streets that fall towards the town’s beautiful harbor, where this “foodie town” serves up some of Ireland’s best fresh fish. A visit out of town to Charles Fort or James Fort, though, will give a peek into the town’s more turbulent past.

Day 5

Day 5

Drive 1 hour north to Barrow.

Golf: Tralee

Tralee’s layout plays across two distinctly different nines. The front is more subdued, although it has a fun mix of holes with the standout par 3 third playing towards castle ruins. The back, though, is pure magic and may be Ireland’s best nine holes. With elevated views across miles of Atlantic coastline, the setting inspired designer Arnold Palmer to proclaim: “I designed the front 9 and god designed the back.”

Tralee

Recommended Sightseeing: Drive the Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula has been called the most beautiful place in Ireland and its hard to argue. Traverse the dramatic landscape and you’ll rise to the breathtaking heights of Conor Pass and Mount Brandon and fall to sandy beaches neighbored by steep sea cliffs. And of course you can’t miss the charming town of Dingle, home to its famous resident dolphin Fungie.

Day 6

Day 6

Drive 1 hour and 15 minutes north to Ballybunion.

Golf: Ballybunion – Old Course

Tom Watson’s favorite golf course is regularly ranked as Ireland’s best course and it’s not hard to see why. The design’s great variety of holes are carved between massive sand dunes and the result is a visually challenging but stunning test.

Ballybunion

Drive 2 hours and 30 minutes north to Lahinch.

Check-In: Lahinch Coast Hotel (2 Nights)

The Lahinch Coast Hotel is a 4-star hotel in County Clare. The hotel has a stylish new look since a 2019 redesign and the modern style captures the sense and style of the beautiful seaside town. Home to a leisure center along with the “Gastro Style” Aberdeen Bar & Restaurant and just a few hundred yards from the world-renowned Lahinch Golf Club, it is a great option for those looking for great value in a great location.

Lahinch GL

Day 7

Day 7

Walk 5-10 minutes north to Lahinch.

Golf: Lahinch – Old Course

The 2019 Irish Open host shares the same stretch of County Clare’s coastline with the Cliffs of Moher so designer Alistair MacKenzie had a great canvas on which to work. So good in fact, that after completion MacKenzie, who worked on the likes of Cypress Point and Royal Melbourne, called Lahinch the finest course that he or anyone else ever constructed.

Lahinch

Recommended Sightseeing: Visit the Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher rise over 700 feet above the Atlantic and offer a unmatched views of Ireland’s dramatic coastal landscape. Visitors can climb the coastal path to O’Brien’s Tower, explore the informative exhibits in the Visitor Center, or even cruise below the cliffs for a unique perspective.

*If the group would like to go see the Cliffs Of Moher, you can either take local taxis or we can add a driver for the day. Driver on this day not included in today’s trip pricing.

The prices shown above are valid for 10 days. In order to confirm the trip and lock in your trip price, the next step is to pay the initial deposits as outlined above via the Book Now link below.

Payment of your initial deposit signifies your intent to travel with Cloud 9 Golf and Travel. Upon receipt of your payment, Cloud 9 will lock in your trip price with currency contracts and will pay non-refundable deposits to suppliers (golf courses, hotels, etc.) on your group’s behalf. Therefore, please note that payments made to Cloud 9 are non-refundable and we strongly encourage all clients to purchase travel insurance (shop travel insurance quotes here). Please see our T&Cs below for additional information regarding payment terms and policies.

Terms and Conditions

Cloud 9 will provide you with a Trip Proposal outlining the services that you have requested for your vacation package and applicable pricing. To accept the Trip Proposal, payment of the Initial Deposit must be made by or on behalf of all participants in your group. Once all deposits have been received, Cloud 9 will proceed with confirming the necessary bookings for your vacation. Payment of the Initial Deposit signifies your intent to appoint Cloud 9 to act as your agent to obtain the services you have requested. Payment of the Initial Deposit also signifies that you understand Cloud 9’s Booking Terms and Conditions, as outlined herein, and have accepted them on behalf of yourself and all members of your party. If you are booking as part of a group, you must designate a “Lead Participant” who is responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions with each group member. Cloud 9 is not responsible for any group members misunderstanding of these terms and conditions.

Pricing: The per person trip price indicated in the agreed upon Trip Proposal is stated in US dollars and based on the number of participants as stated. If the number of participants changes, trip prices may change. Cloud 9 is not obligated to give a breakdown of the costs associated with a trip. Prices are valid for 10 days from the date the Trip Proposal is sent and, if all Initial Deposits have not been received within 10 days, Cloud 9 reserves the right to adjust the price.

Payments: Trip payments are payable directly to Cloud 9 and are payable by paper check, E-check/ACH, MasterCard, VISA or American Express. Unless otherwise stated above, payments are due to Cloud 9 in two installments and must be paid in accordance with the following schedule:

Initial Deposit – An Initial Deposit, as outlined in the agreed upon Trip Proposal, is due upon acceptance of the Trip Proposal. The Initial Deposit is non-refundable unless Cloud 9 is unable to provide tee times at any of the courses on your itinerary.

Final Balance Payment – Unless otherwise stated, the final payment will be due approximately 90 days prior to departure and we will send an invoice to your group to confirm the exact due date.

Cancellations/Changes: Once Initial Deposit(s) are paid and trip bookings are in place, a Confirmed Itinerary will be sent to you to show all confirmed bookings for your trip. In certain instances, changes to your itinerary may be necessary at the time of booking and these will be communicated to the Lead Participant prior to confirmation. Once bookings are confirmed (will be shown in your Confirmed Itinerary) date changes or other changes to the agreed upon itinerary (as outlined in the Trip Proposal) are subject to availability and may result in additional charges, including the loss of non-refundable deposits, if applicable. Pricing changes will be confirmed with the Lead Participant in writing.

All payments to Cloud 9 are non-refundable (except as stated above in Payments regarding the Initial Deposit), so we strongly suggest that all of our clients purchase trip cancellation insurance and you can shop travel insurance quotes HERE. Specifically, we strongly encourage clients to purchase coverage for things like injury and illness (e.g. Covid-19), which allows travelers to recover trip costs should they have to cancel or suspend their trip. Costs associated with trip cancellation/interruption, medical expenses, and mandatory quarantine can all be covered to reduce risk. Group members who you choose to forgo travel insurance and then have to cancel their trip will assume full financial responsibility. Also, refunds cannot be issued for unused portions of the trip package, including for missed reservations due to disrupted air travel. Name changes are usually possible, and, with only a few exceptions, deposits are transferable should you need to find a replacement traveler.

In the case of a partial cancellation prior to final payment (only a portion of the group cancels), the trip price(s) for group member(s) who still plan to travel may increase to cover the unpaid prorated costs associated with the canceled trips.

Documentation: It is the duty of each group member to have a valid and current passport, if necessary, along with any other documents that may be necessary to travel (visas may be required for some destinations). Cloud 9 is not responsible for travel delays or cancellations that result from an invalid or missing travel documentation.

Course Handicap Requirements: Courses included on your itinerary may have handicap limits. It is the responsibility of each golfer to have a valid handicap card/certificate to present where required. Cloud 9 is not responsible for fees or cancellations that result from missing credentials.

Required Mobility: Some aspects of your trip may require a certain level of fitness and/or mobility to participate and it is up to each group member to assess their capabilities. Cloud 9 is not responsible for cancellations that result from a failure to meet these requirements.

Hotel Bookings: Unless otherwise stated, our price assumes double occupancy, shared rooms and is based on standard rooms. Upgrades are available at many hotels for an additional charge but requests for upgrades should be submitted to Cloud 9 upon paying your Initial Deposit.

Transportation: For chauffeured groups relying on the services of a driver, our price assumes that all group members will arrive and depart together from the same airport on the same day at approximately the same time. If additional transfers are required or an expense is incurred to cover a driver’s waiting time, the additional cost will be passed along to your group.

Unless otherwise stated, self-drive prices, if included in our Trip Proposal, include basic collision damage and theft insurance policies. These policies limit your potential out-of-pockets costs for damage or theft, but do still have a deductible due in such instances. However, the deductible can be reduced to zero for a daily fee, payable upon picking up the vehicle. Also, our self-drive prices cover one designated driver (between 25 and 74 years of age) but a second driver can be added at initial pick-up for little or no fee (depending on branch location).

Responsibility: Cloud 9 acts only in the capacity of intermediary and agent for the suppliers and contractors which are selling services not directly supplied by Cloud 9, such as transportation, accommodation, golf, and other services. Cloud 9 is not responsible for any loss, injury, or damage caused by any Force Majeure, health issues, acts of God, acts of government or other entity, wars, or threat of war, industrial dispute, disaster, terrorism, riot or civil disorder, curtailment of transportation facilities, inclement weather or any other circumstance beyond Cloud 9’s control. Furthermore, Cloud 9 is not liable for injury, illness, accident, loss, damage or theft of luggage or personal belongings resulting from neglect or default of any golf, hotel or transportation supplier or from neglect or default of any other person supplying services or materials. Cloud 9 reserves the right to make any changes or cancellations to prices or package features to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of trip participants. Cloud 9 shall not be liable for any act, event, or omission of passengers sharing your transportation, nor for the damages, including theft of luggage or personal belongings, personal injury, accident or illness, that occur during your trip.
