Golf in the Kingdom: The U.K. that is, the best of North Ireland and two Scottish gems...
Golf and Ireland have their legacy; we're not reinventing the wheel with a tour of the Emerald Isle's best links, even if it includes Royal Portrush and two tours of Royal County Down, where the sea, the mist, the turf, and the Mourne Mountains offer a setting for golf beyond the wildest dreams of most. But we can offer you a "sixth gear" to your travel, the type of next-level exhilaration that only whiskey tasting and helicopters can bring to a once in a lifetime golf trip.

When you land in Belfast, we'll chopper you across the North Atlantic and Mull of Kintyre to open this escape on Machrihanish Golf Club, a remote outpost of the game's roots, where the pressure is placed on your very first swing to carry a large swath of the North Atlantic. Wake the next morning to be one of the first to test Machrihanish Dunes, latest project of David McLay Kidd, the native Scot who introduced the golf world to Oregon.

We'll boat back to Ireland, maybe in a sailor's gale, to the Bushmill Inn for two days of whiskey, Portstewart, Royal Portrush, and some warm fuzzies (in whatever order you please), before making the trek around the top of the emerald on the A2 to finish at Royal County Down, with a final night's stay at the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa.

Trust us. After the last four days, 'spa' will have a welcome ring to it.
