Pioneer Golfing made our Ireland golf trip absolutely incredible!

I can’t say enough good things about Pioneer Golfing. Planning an Ireland golf trip for a group of 8 guys, with multiple world-class courses, hotels, transportation, and all the logistics involved, can be overwhelming — but Pioneer made the entire process incredibly easy.

From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and extremely easy to work with. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped put together an itinerary that was perfect for our group.

We played some unbelievable courses, including Ballybunion, Tralee, Dooks, Waterville and Trump Doonbeg, and everything was organized perfectly. The transportation, tee times, accommodations, and overall schedule all went smoothly. We never had to worry about the details — we could simply focus on enjoying the golf and having a great time.

What really stood out was the personal service. Pioneer didn’t just book a golf trip for us — they felt like a partner throughout the entire process. Anytime we had a question or needed something adjusted, they were there to help.

For anyone considering a golf trip to Ireland, I would highly recommend Pioneer Golfing without hesitation. If you're looking for a company that knows golf, knows Ireland, and genuinely cares about making your trip special, these are the guys to use.

Our group is already talking about the next trip, and Pioneer Golfing will absolutely be our first call. 10/10!

Pioneer Golf Travel arranged a…

Pioneer Golf Travel arranged a spectacular 9-day West Coast of Ireland golf journey for members of The La Quinta Country Club, and it exceeded every expectation.

We began our trip at the magnificent Great Southern Killarney in Killarney. The five-star accommodations were exceptional, and the charming town of Killarney offered countless opportunities for dining, shopping, and sightseeing.

From there, we traveled to Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg, where we enjoyed two fabulous nights. During our tour, we played an incredible collection of historic and world-renowned golf courses, including Tralee Golf Club, Dooks Golf Club, Waterville Golf Links, Ballybunion Golf Club, and Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg. In my opinion, it was an amazing assortment of historic and unforgettable courses.

Pioneer Golf also partnered with Kerry Coaches, and our tour host, Derry O'Keefe, was outstanding. He assisted us with numerous sightseeing adventures and helped make the trip truly memorable.

I highly recommend Pioneer Golf Travel to anyone considering an overseas golf destination. Their attention to detail, exceptional planning, and outstanding local partnerships created an unforgettable Irish golf experience.

Pioneer Golf is the company you want planning your golf trip!

Pioneer Golf is a great company to plan a golf trip through! We went to St. Andrews in September and it couldn't have been planned out any better. From the tee times to the driver's taking us to and from, it was laid out perfectly. Unforgettable trip thanks to them. We worked with Samantha on this trip. She was very professional and on top of daily updates...and gave us the greatest news of all when we were picked in the ballot to play the old course! Unforgettable!

Our trip to Scotland

Our trip to Scotland was the best golf vacation we've ever taken - 12 days and 14 rounds, all memorable in their own way. This is our third golf trip that was planned out by Pioneer and they've all been great. The true test of a travel company is when something goes wrong, but in this case, nothing did. We attribute that to Pioneer's planning and execution of our trip plan.
We strongly recommend using Pioneer to plan out your trip too.

Scotland Golf Trip

Pioneer planned a golf trip to Scotland for eight of us. Everything was flawless. They were able to get us on the Old Course without lotteries, provided great intel on restaurants and pubs, gave us a great driver in Andy (who even got us last minute reservations at Little Italy in St. Andrews on a Saturday night), and generally made this trip smoother than glass and worry free.

This was my third Scotland trip using Pioneer Golf and they are simply the best. They provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. They are very responsive and their decades long experience is evident in their recommendations (which included restaurant recommendations and fun non-golf activities). The personal attention was outstanding. Can’t wait for my next trip to Scotland with Pioneer Golf!
