Is this the best golf course picture I have ever taken?

The Island Golf Club just outside of Dublin features this absolutely stunning par 5 hole.  I think it might be my best golf course photo to date. 

If you want us to help you play here, send me an email.  If not, check your pulse.

Royal Porthcawl: Unusual yes, great golf yes.

When someone thinks about playing golf in the British Isles, one usually thinks of Scotland, Ireland or England. However, Wales is another place to consider taking a trip.

Near the Welsh capital of Cardiff, lies Royal Porthcawl. The club, created in 1891, sits right along the Bristol Channel. It has held many major competitions such as the 1964 Curtis Cup and the 1995 Walker Cup. It is scheduled to hold the Senior Open Championship in 2014.

Not only that, it is a very enjoyable golf course. It has a fantastic set of green complexes that contain contours that are a fun to putt and provide a plethora of fun short game shots.

With Cardiff Castle, originally dating back to the 1st century Romans, just minutes away, Wales is a fantastic option to take a trip. 

We'd love to send you to Royal Porthcawl today!

Royal County Down and the Slieve Donard...

Along the ocean under the shadows of the famed Slieve Donard Hotel and the Mourne Mountains, lies Royal County Down Golf Club. 

The Slieve, only a three minute walk away from the first tee, is a fantastic place to stay when making your trip to County Down. 

Royal County Down is one of the premier golf courses in the world. With its variety of beauty, strategy and challenge, County Down offers something for all golfers. 

Royal County Down is a must see for any trip to Ireland! We can make it happen for you! 

Let Bradley Golf Travel plan that trip for you.

Lahinch- A special place to me

When I was 10 years old, I got to go to Lahich for the first time. It was the first great golf course I had ever played. It was a glorious sun filled Irish afternoon and spending that day with my dad was one of the most special days of my life.

Me on the back bank of the par 3 5th, the Dell hole. I got up and down for a par from there :)

I was lucky enough to return this summer. It was the same special palce to me.

Lahinch is an undervalued and underrated golf course and is a must see on any first time Irish golfing vacation.

I urge you to explore the links of Lahinch and let Bradley Golf Travel plan the trip for you!

It's the little things...

Having fun off the golf course can be just as rewarding as the time spent on the course. Traveling with a group of buddies with whom you can laugh, joke and have fun and relax in the car, at dinner or at night can make a golf trip truly memorable.

On our last trip to Ireland,  Bryan had me take this picture with his dog head cover. 

Be sure to visit the local sites on your golf trips. Spending the time to visit the Cliffs of Moher was definitely a worthwhile and enjoyable addition to our stop at Lahinch.

The Cliffs of Moher. 800 ft high on the western coast of Ireland

So on your next trip, go with people that will make all those other hours fun, 

And let Bradley Golf Travel book that trip for you!

We can now help with Australia!

After returning home from a whirlwind tour of Tasmania, Melbourne and Adelaide, I now feel quite comfortable in offering help planning a golf or family trip down under.  So many great courses, people, cities and sites.

When traveling to Tasmania, I can happily suggest a charter service from Melbourne that saves time, energy and gets you on the courses at Barnbougle much more efficiently.  Check out the view from the plane as we arrived over Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm:

Once on the ground, so many great holes to see including this Doak gem:  #13 at Barnbougle Dunes:



And here is a picture from my new all-time favorite course, by my all-time favorite golf course architect.  Royal Melbourne, designed by Dr. Alister Mackenzie:



I can highly recommend every course that I visited...give us ring or send us an email, and we will start planning your down-under adventure.
