Hello Sir

We were delighted with our stay and we give a score of 5 to each course: Ballybunion, Tralee and Killeen at Killarney

Doing Tralee first and finishing with Ballybunion is advisable since Tralee offers panoramas and difficulties comparable to Ballybunion, although the latter is by far the hardest and we appreciated having a caddie who advised us and also helped us find our lost balls effectively.

Killarney golf is different but magnificent around the lake with tricky dog-legs that are delicate to negotiate; we played it twice.

Wonderful experiences we will probably repeat

Thanks again

Kind regards

Thierry SOULIE

Your comments:

The main issue on our Scotland trip was the parking solution in Edinburgh. The suggested parking was about a twenty-minute walk from the accommodation and nearby meter fees were prohibitive. On the last night, seeing that no car had used the three spaces behind the building on the previous two nights, we parked in one of them with a note on the windscreen saying we would move if required. Otherwise, all bookings were in order for tee times and accommodation. We also had to deal with wind and rain — sometimes intense during our rounds. Overall we are very satisfied with our golf and touring experience in Scotland.

Hello, The hotel is very good, brilliant location, Malahide very pleasant. But some rooms are not renovated—it seems worth stating that and offering a supplement for the better rooms. Killeen Castle and The Island are exceptional in different styles. Disappointment at Portmarnock, very "business", you feel you are there to spend money and leave quickly. Mandatory caddy used to keep play fast, cold welcome... Corballis good value for the experience, many blind holes, hard to enjoy on a first visit.

General comment on the trip:

Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Vom Leihauto über die Unterkunft bis hin zum Empfang auf den den jeweiligen Golfplätzen war alles perfekt organisiert. Die Lage des Appartements war ideal, es war nur ein kurzer Fußweg ins Zentrum und zum Old Course. Die persönlichen Kontakte mit den Einheimischen waren sehr positiv. Die Herzlichkeit und Freundlichkeit der Menschen hat uns sehr beeindruckt. Wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt und werden sich wieder nach Schottland reisen.

Liebe Grüße, Gerald Suppan

Hello

I could not answer your questionnaire on my iPad.

I will try on Monday on my computer, otherwise I will print it and scan it for you.

I am sending you a photo.

Small downsides: The breakfast restaurant at the Me and Mrs Jones hotel does not open before 8 a.m. Fortunately we were playing Castlerock at 9:36 on Sunday but it was tight, as it took 25 minutes to get there.

Also, the 4:30 p.m. tee time at Royal County Down was a bit late although it was still daylight when we finished at 9:15 p.m. because groups ahead were slow. This course is certainly in demand but it is still surprising that booking 15 months ahead you could not get a better time. We asked the caddies for a nearby restaurant address—we were the last customers and closed the place...

Finally, on the last day at Malone there was no caddie (we had only planned one) and we had an 8 a.m. tee time but their office only opened at 8...

So the start was a bit rushed and we could not use the practice area (fortunately it was the last day and we had been playing for four days).

Apart from these few remarks, we are all very happy with our stay and your organisation and we were lucky with the weather again as there were only a few drops on the first day, with perfect temperatures and not too much wind.

Finally in Belfast they must have upgraded us since the two suites each had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two toilets....

Kind regards

Hello to the whole team, hello Mr Métayer,

I could not complete your Word form because the answers do not save.

We enjoyed our trip to Scotland overall, but some points need improvement.

Here are our comments:

1/ Accommodation was not all equivalent; our views differ.

- The Dean: 4/5 Pleasant place, pretty with a nice garden, but you cannot dine on site — you must go out. The owner was unhappy when we brought salads to eat on the terrace. We were tired in the evenings and did not always want to go out after golf or sightseeing. Breakfast was generous and excellent.

- Pinewood Country House: 5/5 Beautiful house, charming hosts — we loved it!

- Daviot Lodge: 5/5 Lovely place too, friendly hosts.

- Tullie Inn: 1/5 Because you were wrong about the return day and the last golf was too far from the chosen B&B, you replaced the initial accommodation (which looked fantastic) with a poor motel. I had said I dislike noisy places with many rooms and people. Our room faced the railway; the hotel is shabby in corridors/common areas and we did not like it at all. Avoid! A shame as it was our last stay and left a bad impression.

2/ Golf — mixed views. Some courses lack welcoming clubhouses/restaurants and lunch after the round is not always possible (except Fri–Sun).

Glen Golf Club: 5/5 Beautiful course with lovely views.

Torrance Course: 4/5 Two 18-hole courses; we were sent to the less scenic one without sea views. Kittocks is apparently the reference and we did not get to play it — disappointed.

Craigtoun Course: 4/5 Nice golf.

Spey Valley: 5/5 Absolutely magnificent — fantastic views, pink flowers everywhere. Not to be missed. We loved it!

Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Club: 3/5 We did not like this course; not in great condition.

The Carrick on Loch Lomond: 4/5 Interesting course.

Disappointed not to play the Old Course as we were not drawn in the ballot.

3/ Sightseeing:

We would have liked a small road book before departure with must-see sights, advance bookings, and suggestions. We could not visit Edinburgh Castle, for example — sold out all week.

We took many photos of courses and cities: Edinburgh, Inverness, St Andrews, and Glasgow.

What kind of photos would you like? Selfies of the two of us? Course photos? Other?

Have a good end of the day!

Kind regards, Agnès WEIL and Alain YOUNES
