Everything was absolutely wonderful, our accommodations were fantastic and the golf courses we played were a lot of fun.

The trip was great and things went very smoothly without any significant issues. I could have stayed at the Old Course Hotel the entire time. Rooms and suites were fabulous with great views above the 17th tee. Turnberry, Royal Troon, the Old Course and Carnoustie were great. Didn’t much care for the Kings at Gleneagles. Our coach driver…a must…wouldn’t travel around any other way for sure. Only thing I would change is more time in St. Andrews to see the town. Thanks for helping us with our experience.

We had a great time, lots of laughs and great golf in some fantastic places. The accommodations were excellent - we all agreed we would like to have spent more time in Doonbeg, what a great hotel and golf course. Our drivers in both Ireland and Scotland were fantastic, we couldn't have asked for anything better.

Other than the caddie no shows at Gleneagles, the trip was perfect. You and your company did a fantastic job of putting this together. Thank you and Wilkinson Travel for all your help, recommendations and patience in making our vacation one of the greatest ever.

Just got home, the trip was fantastic, no real snafus at all other than the tee time mixup at Kintyre and the airline delays. Our driver was great, the hotels fantastic and the weather could not have been better. I played 16 rounds in 13 days and it only rained on me for three holes the entire trip.

On my extension I played the new Renaissance Club adjacent to Muirfield. It is fabulous.

We truly had the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for making it happen.

FABULOUS!!! We had the best time, and everything ran so smooth. Our drivers were great and there for whatever we wanted. The golf is so different, but wonderful. Gail and I played 7 rounds and Bob and Alan played 9. Not too bad for 12 days of fun, huh!

Our hotels were great, the only thing I would do differently is stay at the K Club a little longer. Wow, what a beautiful place.

I have to tell you one outstanding story for me. Before the trip I was reading Travel + Leisure Golf magazine. It was the July/August 2007 issue. One of the stories was called "The Last Bag Men" and told bits about some of the older caddies that are leaving and how most of them are the younger guys now. As I was reading I thought how great it would be to get an older guy. I had all younger guys except at Turnberry I got an older man. We were walking and talking and it was the guy in the story I had read, David Scobie! I told him I had read about him and we just had a great day. Took my picture with him and have the article to keep also.

Just wanted you to know the trip was great and everything went off with nary a glitch. The company you used over there had everything in perfect order and we never once had the slightest of problems. The bus was quite nice, and the driver was a great guy, great driver and very helpful. Plus he was always on time. Never once had to wait.

The golf was spectacular. Especially Royal County Down, Ballybunnion, Old Head and Doonbeg. Believe me, Doonbeg will be on everyone's must play list very soon. It was a spectacular course. Plus I loved the service we had at Old Head and Doonbeg. Much better than at any other course. The two courses in Northern Ireland were great, ...

The Killarney Park Hotel was as good a hotel as I've ever stayed at. It rivaled a Ritz Carlton in service and rooms and staff. It was spectacular, ...

I will recommend you to anyone I hear going over there. This trip was well planned and was faultless in its presentation. I thank you much for helping us out and making this all so memorable. We really had the times of our lives. For right now, I need some rest and a detox center.

Our trip to Ireland was the second golf vacation you have set up for us. Each trip has been better than the one before, and we are looking forward to our next one already.

This was the trip of a lifetime! Just fabulous! We had rain on only 4 holes out of the 144 we played! We especially liked Turnberry and the Royal Court at Portrush. We can't wait to go back again.

We just wanted to report back that we had a wonderful time golfing in Scotland, and all the arrangements worked out perfectly, so our warm thanks to you and all the people at Wilkinson's. Everyone there was most helpful, and in particular Barry Hynd, who went out of his way following up to ensure that everything went well, and that we got to play the Old Course at St. Andrews. Many thanks for putting together a great itinerary with great support at the other end!!

The trip was great! We had no problmes with any of the the arrangements, and the weather was perfect! We loved all the places we stayed especially Culloden House, Carnoustie Golf Hotel and Turnberry. Thank you for planning a great trip for us. We hope to go again in a few years.

I just wanted to personally thank you for putting together a wonderful trip for us. There was not one glitch with respect to any hotel reservations or tee times. The bus and driver were great, and the accommodations were superb. As you know, this was a tough crowd to please. I can assure you that if I plan any future trips to that part of the world, you will be the first person I call.

We had a great time. Everything went very smooth. All of our accommodations were very nice, and everyone agreed that it was worth the extra money to upgrade to the better accommodations. Thanks for all your help.

What a fantastic experience we had in Scotland! Courses, accommodations, people, weather, all were perfect. Your arrangements and directions were very easy to follow. I'm anxious to return! And, my son's hole-in-one at Gullane was an unexpected bonus.

Everything went extremely smooth. We had a great time. The weather was outstanding. The hotels were 1st class. We played some of the very best courses. Good job. Thanks.

Our entire foursome had a fantastic experience...I chose your company when searching the Internet because of two things -- flexibility in planning, and your experience. My group had never been to Scotland before and we were all focusing on the courses and the golf. As a result, we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations and the excellent food in each hotel. As for my favorite course? Cruden Bay. Awesome. I can't wait to do it again.

Great golf. Lousy roads. The Irish people in the south were very friendly and accommodating.

Our trip was fantastic. Anyone who loves golf and great golf courses needs to take this trip. The hospitality and people are wonderful, the accommodations were memorable, and the golf was unforgettable. The itinerary was flawless and my party was amazed. Thanks for a great trip. Your Scottish partner, Gary Wilkinson, made this trip a delightful experience.

What an awesome experience. The golf was fantastic! The weather was great, no rain to speak of, but lots of wind on the ocean. It was a total joy to play golf in Scotland. Thanks for the experience.

It was great. The St. Andrews Golf Hotel truly grew on me, and we were glad to have stayed there. The food was outstanding and the location was perfect. We loved Turnberry! Everything was superb. Thank you for helping us and organizing it so well.

What a fabulous time, and the weather was great the whole time! We even played 9 holes the day we arrived at a gem of a course near Carnoustie, Lethem Grange. It is a different game over there, for sure. I paid the price for not driving the ball in the fairway, but played okay at Carnoustie and on the Old Course; memories I will never forget. I can't wait to go back and play some of the others! Thanks for a very special time.

Both hotels were excellent, the locations and staff were really good. The courses we played were awesome and the order worked out well, even with missing the golf clubs the first day in Ireland. I’m very happy with the trip and your service. Gary was excellent. I would definitely recommend you and Gary as a point of contact for someone looking to make this trip.

Our driver in Ireland, Frank, was so knowledgeable about all the courses we played and really knows his golf. K Club was the most amazing place and it was a pure joy to golf that beautiful course.

Thank you again for your expertise and setting everything up for us. It was a complete ball!

Trip was fantastic!! Had a little trouble with the flights but everything else was wonderful. We were told by several people that we wouldn’t like the Trump course but we thought it was spectacular! It was MY favorite. The driving service was great. Gary and Stuart were super. The hotels were great. The golf was great. The weather was even great! NO RAIN ALL WEEK! The only thing I might have done differently would be to schedule tee times a little earlier so it would have been easier to play 36 and still make dinner, and a couple more days at Gleneagles for the girls. Otherwise it was a perfect 50th birthday!!! Thanks a million.

As an attorney I am paid to be skeptical and planning a trip like this certainly involves, to a certain degree, a leap of faith. On our trip, though, everything went smoothly and exactly as you said it would. We never had one issue or problem of any type. It was an absolute pleasure. I would especially like to thank you for your patience and insight as our plans continued to evolve and take shape. Everyone had a terrific time.

I want to say thanks and let you know my son Grant and I enjoyed the trip and will savor the memories forever. The courses were great fun and the lodging entertaining too. Gary Wilkinson was very helpful and a gem to work with…appreciated his guidance from the airport on arrival.

Portmarnock Old was a treat and the caddie couldn?t believe we got a Sun. 8 a.m. tee time. Portmarnock Hotel Links was a solid test. The best and toughest holes were the doglegs. Baltray was another excellent links. A full round without rain, and a good dinner at the Clubhouse.

Roseapenna was very interesting. The hotel is located on an inlet of Sheephead Bay with nice views from the dining room. Dinner was a fixed price of 50 EU with several entrée choices. All the trimmings were served family style. An excellent and abundant meal. Golf was excellent as well. The Sandy Hills course is a tough Pat Ruddy design through some incredible duneland. My son the scratch had his best round of the trip here, a 1 over 71 in 25 MPH winds with three rainsuit changes. The Old Tom Morris course was more forgiving but still a strong test. There is renovation going on to neighboring St. Patrick?s by Nicklaus and no lack of available duneland here. This area will grow in popularity. The head bartender set up an early continental breakfast so we could head to Ballyliffin early.

Ballyliffin is another remote 36 hole facility. Ran into more rain but not enough to stop us. Two nice layouts, much flatter duneland than Roseapenna, and receptive to bump and run shots. You can knockdown shots landing 50 yards short and it will roll in on some holes, even into the wind. My other son, the 5, had his best round, 75 at the Old Course here. Ate at the club house again, very good. On to Bushmills which is very enchanting. Too bad we were only here for about 8 hours.

Portrush Dunlace was outstanding, rained the 1st hole only and changed to a stellar day. My best score of the trip. We convinced the boys to pass on the Valley course, visit the Giant?s Causeway and get to Newcastle at a decent hour. Sleive Donard was a great experience, again too short. County Down was a real treat. The Starter was very cordial and our caddies were great. Last three holes were played in sheets of rain and 40mph wind. Irish stew and Guinness helped mend our egos. Ardglass rained out with similar conditions. Great country, great golf and lodging.

Overall it was a great experience. We had great weather, which I'm sure can make a big difference. Everyone liked all of the golf courses and the food was better than expected, although with the weak dollar the food is pretty pricey. I would say Kingsbarns was the consensus favorite overall in terms of view, overall quality of the caddies and the course set up. Everyone also had a great time at Prestwick just because it was so different. And of course the tradition at all the Open courses made the trip special. I personally loved the double greens at the Old Course.

The Turnberry Hotel was great, and once they got us moved to a different room at Rusacks, that ended up fine as well. However, when I go back someday I will opt for the Old Course Hotel instead. The folks at Wilkinson were great and very helpful.

I finally have time to thank you and your group for a memorable trip. My wife and I had a super time. The best golf trip I have ever been on. Directions were good, but getting used to driving on the left was quite a challenge. The hotel, golf, and village (burgh) of Dornoch was our favorite. I had a beautiful, unique winter coast shipped home that I can't wait to wear. We enjoyed the Carnegie Club so much we are considering membership. Irish golf is planned for June 2005. We will be in touch. Thank you once again.

Had a wonderful time. My 3 sons were in heaven the entire time. The hotel was great, courses were fun (but difficult, as we expected), and weather was fair ... some rain, lots of wind and intermittent sunshine. No complaints. Here's a picture from St. Andrews 1st tee. I'm the old, fat guy in the green windshirt.

When such a life long dream trip is planned, excitement and expectations are high. So high that in most cases those expectations cannot be met. However, in this case those expectations were met and exceeded. I speak for the group when I say that everything was perfect. The golf courses, the accommodations, the weather (except for the down pour that we played in at Carnoustie), the coach and driver, and the people of Scotland were all great.

Thank you for your assistance and professionalism in making this a perfect Scotland vacation. I will recommend you to everyone that I speak to and if you wish an endorsement for your website, I will be privileged to do so. Again, thank you.

The trip could not have been any better. Gary Wilkinson was there to greet us when we arrived in Glasgow. His people were most professional. The rental van was perfect. Our four days at The Rufflets were superior. The people there couldn't have been more service oriented, and the food and presentation was five star.

Gleneagles is just Gleneagles. This is how royalty must feel when they travel. The people there couldn't do enough for us. Their breakfast was the most complete buffet breakfast that I have ever seen.

The Kingsbarns course is an absolute must to play. This is a great links course and has views that make Pebble Beach pale by comparison.

You can count on hearing from me again when we are ready for another outing.

The trip was GREAT! I have been walking around whistling "Danny Boy" ever since I returned. I was, and still am, so impressed by the flawlessness of your organization. From our greeting at the airport to the day of departure, our visit was sheer magic. Loved the lodge in Killearny and the innmaster. Am hoping to repeat next year, perhaps in the northwest of Ireland, but wherever I go, I have got to play Old Head again. The drama and sheer beauty of that spot remains vivid in my mind's eye. Thank you for making this the best vacation ever. I love both Scotland and (now) Ireland. My best to you.

It was a great experience for all of us. The places you reserved for us were almost too classy for our group. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Just a note to thank you for planning a wonderful trip for my father's 70th birthday. All the accommodations were excellent! The golf was even better!! There is nothing like teeing off on the Old Course into 30+ mph winds. I have already started to get some guys together for another trip in the next couple of years. I will be sure to contact you to make all the arrangements. Thanks.

Thanks for a tremendous golf trip. We had a truly outstanding time. All the courses were fantastic with difficult holes, wind and beauty. All arrangements came off without any hitches (including your changing the tee time for us at Turnberry). This trip created many memories for myself, my brother and my father, and I just wanted to say thanks for putting together a fantastic trip. Your organization did a wonderful job.
