A 5-star rating just doesn’t seem like enough.
My friends and I had talked about doing a golf trip to Ireland for a few years but never started the process. After hearing about the great trip some other friends had I took their referral and called Fairway and FunDays. I wasn’t sure where to start or the right questions to ask, all I had was a wish list of courses and rough idea of dates. I reached out to Fairways and FunDays and was connected with Paul. From our first discussion I knew I made the right call. He asked me a bunch of questions about, location, cost, dates etc. I didn’t realize it but he was building a profile to make our trip. After a lot of back and forth, he was tremendously patient with all of my questions and there were a lot, he put together a 7-round, 7-day trip with a home base out of Killarney, with a driver, tee times, caddies and even golf carts, aka buggies. Even after the trip was booked, Paul was there to expertly answer, what must have felt like, my endless stream of questions. I have planned trips in the U.S. for years but going abroad is a different animal. I didn’t realize it at the time but he was always a few steps ahead of me. When we got our initial tee times, he knew we would need to change a few. When we wanted to add a round the day we arrived he was ready. He knew what we wanted, and more importantly what we needed before we did.
Paul met us at the airport in Shannon with Tomas, our driver for the week. After introductions and collecting our bags and clubs, Paul went through our itinerary and gave me a binder with everything I could possibly need for the week. He turned us over to Tomas to get us to the hotel and our first tee time.
What followed was the greatest golf trip anyone could have planned. Courses INCREDIBLE! Hotel Amazing (you must stay at The Great Southern {Breakfast is out of this world}), Scenery; Breathtaking, and the people were so amazing. Tomas guided through small towns, scary roads, the mountains, the coast and shared all of his knowledge. He was a truly a man that knew everyone. He even called a friend who got us in to his restaurant for dinner the first night. Tip: Don’t play golf with Tomas for money. That seemed to be a theme, he is quite the legend. We spent our time Pub hoping, listening to great music and even made Tatler Jacks our new watering hole.
I could go on and on with how amazing our trip was. I will just say if anyone who has ever thought of, or is thinking of, going to Ireland for golf CALL Fairways and FunDays, they will put together a trip that truly fits your needs. Trust their team and ask for Paul, he will make it all happen for you. And demand Tomas as your driver you will not regret it.
A 5-star rating just doesn’t seem like enough. I have encountered 5 star and what Fairways and FunDays did for us was so far beyond that I am raising it to 10 Stars. Thank you to everyone who made a bucket list trip a true dream vacation. We will never forget it.
My only regret is that after seeing Paul at the airport we didn’t connect again. We had no issues at all so there was no reason to call him for help. Thank you Paul, for everything.

Remarkable customer service
Our group of eight from the U.S. waited an extra year to go on our Ireland golf tour and we are so glad we did. This was the best golf trip I've been on, and I attribute it to the staff at Fairways and FunDays having every detail covered. They wanted our trip to exceed all expectations, and it did without a doubt!
If you are considering a golf trip to Ireland, do yourself a favor and call Fairways and FunDays. They will take care of you with remarkable customer service from your first conversation until get home from the trip.
Thanks to everyone at Fairways and FunDays for an incredible experience!

Absolutely the best and most organized tour I have ever experienced!
Absolutely the best and most organized tour I have ever experienced! My friends and I, all eleven of us, just returned from and amazing two weeks of playing nine of the greatest golf courses in Ireland. From the months of preplanning until the day we departed from Ireland we couldn't be more impressed with our organized tour and all the communications and follow-up! A huge thank you to our tour organizer Phil O'Carroll and our fantastic and personable driver, Danny, who kept us moving over the entire two weeks. This was truly a bucket list adventure for all of us as we enjoyed the beautiful and breathtaking golf courses of Ireland, great hotels, side tours, and amazing restaurants. Fairways and Fundays did not disappoint, knocked it out of the park! I highly recommend them for your next adventure. We will be back for more!
Brendan Turner, Boston, USA
Exceeded my expectations
Once again Fairways and FunDays exceeded my expectations. You are to be commended for your attention to detail to make our golfing tour so much fun. The golfing venues and hotels were first rate. One reason that I will always choose Fairways and FunDays for future tours is that I know that you will be there 24-7 to attend to any need or concern that might crop up. It is comforting to know that you genuinely care about your clients and their well-being. Thanks again for a "bang up" job, and hope to see you again in the near future!
Ed Fell, Georgia, USA
8 amazing days and 11 rounds in Ireland
Can’t say enough about the amazing experience that Phil put together for our group. Truly the trip of a lifetime. Courses were spectacular and all the accommodations worked perfectly. Phil even arranged for eight days of perfect weather. No rain and 18 to 21° only thing he didn’t help with was my slice.
Ron Craig, Toronto, Canada
Exceptional Trip
Exceptional Trip
My husband and I had a wonderful trip to Ireland with friends thanks to the help of Fairways and FunDays. They worked with us to plan an exceptional trip.
Donal and our other drivers were very helpful to make our trip special. Donal drove us around Ireland making sure we saw all the important sites. He was an extra special guy.
Phil and Paul from Fairways and FunDays checked in regularly to make sure everything on our trip was perfect. Thank you all for helping us create wonderful memories.

First Class Service
First Class Service!
We have just returned from our third Fairways And FunDays Staycation. Similar to our previous experiences in 2020 and 2021, everything was organised to a tee and we enjoyed a fantastic few days golf in Sligo.
We cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by Fairways and FunDays and have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Incredible Father and Son Golf Tour!
Incredible Father and Son Golf Tour!
After Fairways and FunDays being recommended to me by a friend, I asked them to come up with a tour for myself and my son. My request was for variety and something special, as this was to be out holiday for the year. With short notice (just 2 weeks), Fairways and FunDays tailored the perfect trip for us, 2 parkland courses (Palmerstown House and Killeen Castle) and 2 links courses (Portmarnock Links and Royal Dublin), all while staying in The Grand Hotel in Malahide.
We had 4 exceptional days basking in sunshine, and enjoying the golf. Fairways and FunDays arranged everything for us, from tee times in the clubs to breakfast in the hotel. All that was left for us to do was enjoy the spectacular locations and golf.
From the start we we're looked after everywhere we went. In our first round on arrival at Palmerstown, there was a huge generous gift package for my son, left there to make our holiday even more special. Each course surpassed or expectations, and brought a different challenge, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable break.
I could not recommend Fairways and FunDays enough. Absolutely fantastic trip.
Looking at the prices of the courses we played and the hotel, there is no way we could have managed to come even close to the price charged, fantastic value.
Looking forward already to booking our next trip.
Thanks so much, for organizing a holiday that surpassed all my expectations.
O. Coonan, Ireland
Amazing Golf Trip!
My friends and I were looking forward to this amazing golf trip for several months and it did not disappoint! Over 5 days we played some of the best golf courses in the world (Ballybunion Old, Tralee, Dooks, Waterville & Killarney Killeen). As part of the package, we stayed in Scott's hotel, which is located in the heart of Killarney town. The hotel was great and with the help of staff at Fairways and FunDays, the trip went very smoothly. After arriving in Killarney, the team at Fairways and FunDays checked in with us to ensure everything was ok. The customer service and attention to detail was superb! Thanks a lot to the team at Fairways and FunDays for organising this fantastic trip! I look forward to booking many more golf trips with you in the future!
C Kelly, Ireland
An outstanding trip!
An outstanding trip all because of your great work. Everything was perfect.
Dave was the best driver we've ever had. I'll be talking to you guys soon about our next Ireland trip.
Danny Lynch, Georgia, USA
Fantastic to deal with!
We had a brilliant trip to Kerry to play Ballybunion and Dooks. Fairways and FunDays were fantastic to deal with all throughout. Marie were always really responsive and helpful. W can't wait for the next trip. Great value as well and took the stress off of planning it.
R. Phelan, Ireland
First Class!
We can’t rank Fairways and FunDays highly enough - service, communication and organisational have been first class all the way through the process.
Fairways and FunDays handled all our hotel and golf bookings and also handled some extra requests that we throw in, with the minimum of fuss and maximum efficiency.
Everything ran like clockwork, we even received some trophies and prizes for our trip.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this company, the team were first class and will be our tour operator for any future trip to The Emerald Isle.
Waleswood Golf Society, UK
We’re already planning for next September!
The Team in Fairways and FunDays made organising our trip as easy as possible - I couldn't recommend them enough. We played Ballybunion Old, Ballybunion Cashen and Tralee. Our group stayed in the Meadowlands Hotel, Tralee. We're already planning a trip for next September!
P. Kelly, Kildare, Ireland
Attention to detail was incredible!
I was part of a group of 8 "golfers" that had to cancel our trip to Portugal due to COVID and we decided at short notice to holiday in Ireland. I had been recommended Fairways and FunDays by a friend and contacted them for options. They came back immediately with a number of different golfing options and our 4 day trip to Kerry was organised and booked within 24 hours. We played 3 fabulous courses in Ballybunion (Old), Tralee and Waterville and stayed in the heart of Killarney. The Fairways and FunDays team had everything booked in advance and everything ran like clockwork.
Apart from the top class courses we played, the most impressive aspect was the attention to detail which included prizes, daily goody bags, receiving score cards for each course in advance of the trip and having our breakfast times booked in the hotel to suit our tee times.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the team at Fairways and FunDays for a "staycation" golf trip and we are already looking forward to next year's trip!!
H. Gleeson, Dublin, Ireland
Amazing Experience!
We are just home from the Sensational Sligo package. Amazing experience. The Fairways and FunDays team were very professional and made the trip effortless for us. We highly recommend Fairways and FunDays.
T. Callaghan, Dublin, Ireland
Special Memories!
Bucket list golf courses played at a great rate with super service. Views to die for and special memories. Waterville, Tralee and Ballybunion golf, an amazing experience. We had a beautiful week of weather to appreciate these amazing courses. All organised by Fairways and FunDays. We had to make changes to our original booking but this was no problem. Really well organised, thanks to all the team for making the trip so easy for us.
B. Gilvarry, Mayo, Ireland
Amazing Golf Trip in Ireland
My family and friends have just returned from a group tour to the West of Ireland that we booked through Fairways and FunDays - wow, what an unforgettable experience. Fairways and FunDays made this a tour to remember with great golf, amazing accommodation, luxury transport and lots of surprises including a beautiful gift on arrival. Our group of 25 (golfers and non-golfers) enjoyed every second of our time in this spectacular part of Ireland. We cannot recommend Fairways and FunDays highly enough for anyone considering a golf or sightseeing break in Ireland. An amazing experience.
B. Langley, Boston, USA
Great Week of Golf in Ireland
Fairways and FunDays was an amazing company to work with. They created an itinerary for a week long trip with a group of eight. The Fairways and FunDays team were attentive, flexible and the pricing for the package was extremely competitive. Throughout the week, Phil stayed in contact to ensure everything was going well.
We chose the chauffeured coach option which was definitely the way to go. Our driver was terrific. He helped organize dinners, shared his knowledge and kept the coach well stocked along the way.
Ireland is a great country to visit with beautiful countryside, warm and friendly people, great golf courses, and the beer and whiskey aren’t bad either.
I would highly recommend Fairways and FunDays to anyone considering a golf trip to Ireland.
Carey Browning, Canada
Fairways and FunDays got everything right
I recently had the pleasure of a golf vacation arranged through Fairways and FunDays along with seven of my friends. To say that we had a blast would be an understatement.
The golf was great. The hotels and service was first rate. The Fairways and FunDays team, and our driver Dave (who is now a buddy), got everything right. Both the logistics and the service were bang on.
Please accept my thanks and know I will pass along your company name to all friends and family.
Geoff Frodsham, Canada
Super holiday organised by Fairways and FunDays
We recently returned from a super holiday organised by Fairways and FunDays. We had a detailed 3 week itinerary which included attending the Open and playing 8 challenging golf courses. Old Head was the stand out course - an amazing experience. We stayed in 6 locations and also fit in some sightseeing. The Fairways and FunDays team recommended a few visits we may not have chosen ourselves and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We were met by the team at the start of our trip in Dublin and their team kept in touch throughout the holiday. A 5* Experience!
Irene & Allan Grant, Telford, UK
A Wonderfully Memorable Trip
"We spent a lot of time planning our first trip to Ireland and are extremely happy we chose Fairways and FunDays as our tour operator to help ensure the trip would be as good as hoped. The team at Fairways and FunDays were very attentive in every step of the planning process. The team suggested ways to enhance our experience and provided us with tremendous insight before and during the trip. We made some spur of the moment requests during the trip and Phil took care of them immediately. Charlie, our coach driver, was stalwart throughout and I know the trip wouldn't have been as good without him. We have already begun discussions on our next trip and there is NO doubt we'll be reaching out to Fairways and FunDays to see if we can match the wonderfully memorable trip we had with our maiden voyage."
Brian Feeney, Philadelphia, USA
A Great Open Championship Experience
This is our third trip to Ireland, first trip planed by Fairways and FunDays. Excellent service and resources, plentiful local knowledges and advices to make our Open Championship a great experience. We would recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Ireland, for golfing and/or sightseeing. Our next trip back to Ireland will be planed by Fairways and FunDays.
Michele Chen, United States
Fantastic time in Ireland
Again, I had a fantatic time in Ireland with Fairways and Fundays! Phil picked some great golf courses for us. Organized everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). I highly recomend Fairways and FunDays. Each trip to Ireland has been unique, a great golf trip and a chance to catch with old friends and make new ones. It's real nice not to have to worry about anything. Golf, accomendations, meals, transportation etc. 5* in every aspect.
Kevin Leonard, United States
Great Time on our Trip to Ireland
The five of us had a great time on our trip to Ireland. We all loved the accommodations, wonderful dinners, awesome golf and extra places to see. My husband was very happy with all of the non-golfer activities. He just loved the Birds of Prey and his private tour of Ballybunion Beach. The Irish people are what we liked the most. Thanks for all your efforts in arranging our September 2018 grand trip.
Mary & Eric Hanson, United States
First Class Team
Fairways and FunDays once again planned and executed a wonderful trip for our Villanova track family. This is our second experience with Phil, Joe and the entire Fairways and FunDays Team. We highly recommend them when you plan your trip to Ireland. The entire itinerary was well thought out and included a fantastic Hotel in Killarney, excellent meals, excursions, transportation/logistics and beautiful golfing & the fantastic Ireland scenic views. And, clearly they have connections with negotiating great rates for their customers.... First class Team!!!!
John and Mary Pat Barton, New Jersey, USA
Superb from Start to Finish!
Well, one of the most memorable trips ever. I´d heard that Fairways and FunDays were the best golf and leisure touring agency in Ireland and they didn´t disappoint.
From the moment we were picked up in Dublin airport to dropping us off again for our return trip to Spain, we were treated like royalty and shown the best local spots.
We went for 4 days of golf and 2 days of tourism, incredible courses and even better hotels. My friends from Spain honestly couldn´t have asked for more.
With Phil, from Fairways and FunDays, and our driver Adrian, (luxury bus, a must if you can), all our questions and doubts were answered.
I can´t recommend Fairways and FunDays enough as they turned a great holiday into an unforgettable one. We all want to go back again next year!
Niall Thompson, Bilbao, Spain
The only Tour Operator to consider!
If you are planning a trip to Ireland, whether for golf or for just seeing the sites, Fairways and FunDays is the only tour operator to consider. Look no further - these guys are the greatest! From my first contact with Phil O'Carroll in the planning phase of our trip, I knew immediately that I had made the right choice. You let Phil know what it is that you expect out of your trip, and he will make it happen - guaranteed!

I can’t recommend Fairways and FunDays enough!
Phil O'Carroll (Managing Director) will personally respond to any correspondence or questions you can think of, usually with in hours regardless of what time it is. The customer service is like none I have ever experienced. It's a must do! Everything is meticulously taken care of for you by Fairways and FunDays, including hotels, transfers ( Mercedes Chauffeur transportation everywhere) excellent meals, golf tee times, sight seeing tour and anything else you can think of. (all included in the per person price - which was also significantly cheaper than I could put together on my own).Fairways and FunDays will accommodate anything you can think of and customize the trip any way you like. But if you don’t want to plan anything they also have packages already planned. I can't recommend Fairways and FunDays enough.

Awesome Ireland Golf Trip
We had an amazing friends and family golf trip to Ireland organized by Fairways and FunDays. First off, we had a very complicated itinerary of family arriving/departing on different days. Some golfing on part of the trip and some golfers on all 8 days. Phil and the F&F team could not have made this easier for us. Nothing was a hassle, everything was doable and the attention to detail was amazing!
We played Portmarnock, Old Head, Ballybunion, all of South West Ireland’s favorites and my favorite...Tralee. Waterville is also a Gem. Phil provided valuable info ahead of our trip and helped out while on the trip with any questions or requests we had.
In short, i doubt there is another tour company that could do a better job than F&F. Even better, the prices were the best we could find for the trip we wanted! Highly recommend Fairways and FunDays!

First Class from Beginning to End!
Just returned from a week golfing in Ireland. Last October we contacted Phil O'Carroll at Fairways and FunDays and asked him to put together a "top of the line" package for 4 "type A" personalities all of which were retired from professional careers....and expected a smooth trouble free experience. When I read the testimonials from others I see comments like "superb", "outstanding", "incredible organization", etc to describe what we understand is "Ireland's Best Golf Operator".....and we now know why they have this distinction. Its hard to characterize our experience any better than others have other than to say the four of us had a "spectacular" week of golfing on "challenging and awe inspiring" golf courses and staying at 4+* hotels. Phil and Joe did a great job of asking us many upfront questions to determine the right itinerary for us and was patient with our several changes. He walked us through the entire process from beginning to end and we did not experience any unforeseen challenges...."a smooth trouble free experience"!! We were met at the airport by Joe who again explained our week and sent several emails to ensure our expectations were being met and provided his personal cell and email in the event we had any issues. He surprised us when he showed up at the signature hole at Portmarnock Golf Club and again this was well beyond our expectations. First class from beginning to end - thank you Fairways and FunDays.

A once in a Lifetime Experience!
What an amazing experience. The golf courses were out of this world. The most beautiful and challenging I had ever played. The weather was rainy some days, but other days- perfect fall weather. We were well prepared and it didn't stop us from exploring. One of our days off from golfing, my sister and I went surfing which was unexpected once in a lifetime experience. The historical and tourist places we able to visit were easy to get to with thanks to our drivers. We didn't have to worry about any of the little details. Having our plans in advance made it easy to avoid long lines. Phil was easy to work with and easy to get a hold of if we needed to change/edit plans. We had a memorable and once of a life time experience. Thanks to Fairways and FunDays. Without reservation I highly recommend this company for an unforgettable experience.
Melissa Mekesa USA,
A Trip to Remember!
We will reminisce our recent golfing trip fondly, thanks to the fabulous organisational efforts of Phil, Joe & their team at Fairways and FunDays. Our meet & greet was extraordinary.......it made us feel immediately at ease and welcomed like part of their family. We were met promptly, chauffeured to our hire van, along with great conversation, & with details/questions clearly outlined . Ongoing SMS communications solved any little questions which arose, & their concern for our total enjoyment and wellbeing during our stay was paramount.
Our itinerary was superb, both in balancing golf with fun activities, quality hotel stays, excellent golf courses & club hire, fabulous restaurants and sightseeing opportunities, & the variety of tours for me as a non golfer. Daily schedules were clearly and expertly outlined in our itinerary folder, which included local phone cont6ct numbers should we need them. The Garmin GPS provided was easy to use & made driving a breeze.
We cannot thank your company enough for being so professional, personal, reliable & caring......while in Ireland, from my first enquiry email sent requesting information, suggestions & costings, as well as contact after our holiday ended.
Fairways and FunDays has been the best company yet, to organise a trip on the Internet from halfway around the globe. Emails were promptly returned and payment options excellent and secure.
Congratulations for organising such a wonderful golfing trip! We hope to return to Ireland again!

The Most Professional Travel Company I have ever dealt with
Throughout my career in sports and business i have travelled the world. from recent experience I can honestly say that Fairways and FunDays are the most professional travel company that I have ever dealt with. Phil and the team at Fairways and FunDays organised an incredible tour for 20 of my Villanova University Alumni friends and partners. The tour included great golf, superb sightseeing, magnificent hotels and amazing evening entertainment. Fairways and Fundays organised a spectacular itinerary for both golfers and non-golfers and they included so many surprises along the way that made this tour really, really special. Our group collectively agreed that this was the best organised tour that we were ever on and plan to appoint Fairways and FunDays to organise our next reunion tour in 2018. From the moment I contacted Fairways and FunDays their attention to details was extraordinary. they took the worry away so much that all we had to do was show up. Fairways and FunDays had every single aspect of our tour carefully planned so we could focus on our golf and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. I would definitely recommend Fairways and FunDays to anyone considering a golf and leisure vacation to Ireland. there is no doubt, they are the best.

The Best I have dealt with
I did a golf trip combined with sightseeing for 10 days. my wife and 2 boys (ages 22 and 24) joined me on this trip/experience of a lifetime. I cannot say enough about “Faiways and FunDays.” superb!! without doubt, the best I have dealt with.
We played 4 of the top 100 golf courses in the world. I would have paid 3 times as much for the golf if I have done it myself. Royal Portrush , Portstewart , Waterville, Ballybunion, Tralee and Lahinch are courses that keep you humble. Our accommodation was 5 star. Phil O’Carroll is the man behind all of this. What a pleasure to deal with this friendly man : always polite, responded immediately many times, came to meet us in person after arriving in Dublin, kept in touch throughout our trip to make sure we have everything we needed.
Thank you Phil and your team. We will see you again.

Incredible organising of a very complex Tour!
Our itinerary in Ireland was complex, with seven people starting off on a golf tour followed four days later by eleven more friends to form a soccer team playing in Killarney and Newbridge. Fairways and FunDays were more than up to the challenge. The golfing portion of the trip was covered with a luxurious microbus driven by Kevin, a warm and polite young man with great sense of humor. the soccer portion was handled by Dan Dowling in a very comfortable bus. Don regaled us with many stories of the Killarney area and countless trivia about Ireland. By the end of our trip my friends all agreed that our interactions with Kevin and Don were as integral to our enjoyment of Ireland as any other aspect of the trip.
Phil O’Carroll and the team of Fairways and FunDays, did an amazing job not only of handling all logistics, but also making strategic recommendations on trip routing and sightseeing. Phil also spent hours of his own time helping us track down a lost golf bag (which it turned out had been in our possession all along), and a lost jacket. every one of my interactions with Phil cemented in my mind the pride he takes not only in his business but in presenting the best face of a country he is so justifiably proud of and passionate about.
My sixteen friends and i would not hesitate in recommending Fairways and FunDays as your ground organizer in ireland. it will be the best trip decision you will make.

The Golf Trip of a Lifetime!
Phil & the Fairways and FunDays team,
Thanks for the golf trip of a lifetime! the planning and attention to our needs, pocketbook and individual quirks were amazing. We were eight guys coming from different parts of the USA and you made it easy for everyone. We had one player who came over early and you met him at airport with Irish hospitality and got him to his hotel with no problems.
You greeted the rest of us, along with best coach driver (Kevin), anyone could get for the entire trip.
The gifts upon arrival were over whelming, but tasty and needed after long trip. The golf courses, hotels and tours were tops. My favorites were Lahinch and The Island courses. All the courses(5) we’re terrific.
Fairways and FunDays receive 5 star+ reviews in all areas!
Thanks Phil and Kevin for memories of a lifetime!
Best wishes and warmest regards,

The Best Travel company we have ever worked with!
My wife and I have travelled extensively over the past 10 years and can say unequivocally that Fairways and FunDays has been the “Best” Travel company that I have had to deal with.
Our group of four wanted some good golf (played Ballybunion Old Course), sightseeing, brewery and distillery touring, comfortable accommodations and worry free transportation. Fairways and FunDays delivered on all fronts. We were met personally at the Dublin Airport upon arrival by Fairways and FunDays personnel and the trip itinerary was provided immediately to us in an easy to carry binder with passes for all of the sites that we visited. We were able to change any of our plans by simply contacting the Fairways and FunDays personnel who took it from there. Equally impressive was the fact that through our driver, we were contacted at least 3 times by their staff to check to see how the trip was going and was there anything else that could do for us.
Thanks to Phil and the Fairways and FunDays team for your excellent service and for making our Ireland trip a most memorable one.

Simply Outstanding!
We have experienced two outstanding vacations with the guidance of Phil and his team at Fairways and FunDays. No matter the setting, whether golf centric or a family trip with a bit of golf, Fairways and FunDays complete understanding of our desires and Ireland ensured we experienced the best that Ireland had to offer.
The level of planning and documentation the staff put in prior to our trip enabled us to sit back and enjoy the golf and sites that only Ireland can provide. The Island, Carne, Druid’s Glen, and Lahinch are all once-in-a-lifetime courses let alone once-in-a-single trip (and these weren’t all of the courses we played)! While we played, the rest of the family enjoyed a robust schedule of many attractions and events that left all of us with the feeling that this was a vacation that will never be equaled (until the next time we use Fairways and FunDays when we come back to Ireland)!

To the staff and management of Fairways and FunDays,
On behalf of myself and my family and fellow travelling companions i want to sincerely thank the staff of Fairways and FunDays for organising such a memorable experience. From arrival to departure we were treated like royalty and the peace of mind of having all aspects of our stay arranged in advance allowed us to really enjoy every moment of our time in Ireland.
Thank you so much Fairways and FunDays. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fairways and FunDays to any of our friends and family who are thinking of vacating in the beautiful Emerald Isle.

The itinerary prepared could not have been more enjoyable!
Thanks for all your preparation on our behalf to make the trip go smoothly. We really had a great time and enjoyed Ireland very much. I will suggest you and Fairways and FunDays to anyone i know planning a visit to Ireland. I, myself hope to return within the next few years. I will be watching the Irish Opens in the future with a greater appreciation and understanding of the climate, courses, and challenges the pro’s face.
Thank you for everything. The itinerary that your team prepared could not have been more enjoyable.

The attention to detail was amazing!
Individually and as a family, I have travelled extensively. I have used many different travel/tour agencies as well as planned many of my own trips. I honestly have to say the Fairways and FunDays has to be one of the best tour companies that I have seen. The attention to detail and the consideration to our needs as individuals and as a family was amazing!
They set up activities and tours that I would have never booked on my own that turned out to be incredible experiences. I did not know what to expect when I originally had booked the trip with them, but I was short on time and needed to get something booked. When they greeted my family at the airport with their warm Irish welcome, I knew that I had made the right decision. It was one of the best decisions I have made from a travel perspective. I am a perfectionist and that is what I received. The detailed itinerary made the trip easy with a neatly organized binder with all appropriate paper work. I can not say enough good things about this company and people behind it.
My only regret is that Fairways and FunDays currently only book trips for Ireland! thanks for everything!

We cannot recommend Fairways and FunDays highly enough!
My first impression about Fairways and FunDays was very good. To offer us exactly what we wanted! Fairways and FunDays was the only one to organise a call with me at the beginning. During this call, I was offered very good advice and a range of options were discussed. After this call, the tour that was offered in 28 page proposal was fantastic. There were some amazing visits and entertainment that we would not have thought of and we got to play 4 incredible golf courses.
We had a lot of requests that were very quickly done by the Fairways and FunDays team.
When we arrived at Dublin Airport what an amazing surprise to see Fairways and FunDays waiting for us with a “caddie” full of gifts, irish food and drink, golf accessory packs and a magnificent tour commemoration piece.
During our stay in Ireland we had a fantastic time and all 4 of our group are very very happy with our 5 days in Dublin.
Thank you Fairways and FunDays for everything. We cannot recommend Fairways and FunDays highly enough.

Truly Fantastic!
On behalf of our family and friends, we would like to thank the whole team at Fairways and FunDays. Their website says “12 reasons to book with Fairways and FunDays,” but i can think of many more. Every year we hold a family get together involving our family and close friends. There are 20 of us in total and as you can imagine this is very important to us.
The Fairways and FunDays team did everything for us, no stone was left unturned and we all had one of the most memorable holidays ever, pure relaxation, totally hassle free and so much fun! The golf was superb, the activities for young and old were so well thought through and the evening entertainment was truly fantastic. This trip created very special memories and I expect our family and friends will talk about it for many years!
It is safe to say that having booked with a number of companies in the past, we will not be booking with anyone other than Fairways and FunDays in the future.

A breath-taking Experience!
My wife and i, and our friends had a fantastic trip with Fairways and FunDays. The tour had an amazing mix of golf and culture and was perfect for our group of golfers and non-golfers. We´ll never forget playing in Connemara and watching the beautiful views from the course. a breath-taking experience.
I would highly recommend Fairways and FunDays to anyone considering a golf vacation in Ireland.

Spectacular Trip to Ireland
Spectacular trip to Ireland. Phil and his team took care of everything from the moment we arrived at Dublin Airport until we departed out of Shannon Airport some nine days later. We had a group of eight couples in which the men would go golfing in the morning while our wife's would do sightseeing in nearby locations. Later in the afternoon we would all meet up for more sightseeing, entertainment and dinner. For first time golfers to Ireland, be sure to include as many links courses as possible in your package since nothing compares back here in the United States. I and others who went on the trip are planning another trip back to Ireland and for sure will pick Fairways and FunDays to take care of all our travel needs.
