Don’t take our word for it!

Here are what just a few customers have to say about us. You can read about their experiences and see for yourself why customers choose Carr Golf Travel. If you have a story to share, please let us know!

Peter, Thank you again for taking such good care of me and my family last month.

You made a good trip great. I feel fortunate to have made your acquaintance. I look forward to seeing you again soon and hope to reciprocate your hospitality.

Sincerely

Mike McDermott

The McDermott boys wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time.

The golf, weather, people and beer were all outstanding. Oops, almost forgot…the accommodations were top shelf. Nice job!

By the way, everywhere we went people asked us how we came up with our travel and golf plans. Of course, we replied Carr Golf. Everyone, and I mean everyone, had something wonderful to say about Carr Golf or the Carr family. I don’t think I need to say this, but you should be proud of the reputation you have earned.

Thanks again,


Mike McDermott

Sarah, I wanted to write and thank you for the work you did for our trip to Ireland.

Our group had a wonderful time. Your service and patience was much appreciated. You were very cheerful and professional through the whole process.

Our driver/guide (Martin Hayes) was a delight. Very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating of our needs.

The Vaughn Lodge was very good. Service was first rate. Food very good. They exceeded our expectation.The Killarney Park was also a great experience. The staff, rooms, service and food was worthy of their five star rating.

The Trident was not up to the high standards of our first two hotels. Kinsale was a treat, and the setting was beautiful.

The golf was great. Every course worth the trip by itself . Our friends all felt like the experience exceeded their expectations.

Thanks for all your help. Best regards

Jim Sweeney

Mark, thanks for all your help…

Peter was great - pleasant, informative, accommodating and accessible as needed. Whoever is responsible for the weather, gave us a treat we'll never forget - after day 1 we had 6 days of perfect golf weather. The golf was splendid. Old Head, Tralee, Waterville, Doonbeg and Lahinch were memorable. Playing Old Head (in soft rain and fog and then in brilliant sunshine) and Doonbeg twice was a stroke of genius. We could have easily played Tralee and Waterville twice. In terms of facilities, Doonbeg was in the Lodge at Pebble Beach class - at the top! Stunning. The same for Old Head. Killarney Park worked great because it was in Killarney and allowed us to visit Pubs and eat at different venues! So it was great trip. Your company was excellent. Peter smoothed out any rough spots without our knowledge!!!! Well done to Carr Golf Travel. Thanks and we'd be happy to vouch for Carr Golf Travel and serve as a reference. Again thanks -

Your team did such a wonderful job on every detail – the whole trip seemed seamless.

As we finish up our final interactions with Carr Golf Travel for the Board trip, we wanted to send you a note to say thank you for all the work your team did for us to make this trip a smashing success. We know the time and dedication it takes to make sure that every little detail is looked after and taken care of. Your team did such a wonderful job on every detail – the whole trip seemed seamless.

The team went above and beyond the call of duty many times to ensure that the trip was an extraordinary experience. They dealt with challenges swiftly and with courtesy. Many of the trip participants commented on Peter and his personal investment in the trip - the day in Derry in particular with John Hume. They were touched that he was so moved and we felt honored to have impacted him in such a way. Our Board members felt totally taken care of the entire trip.

Again, thank you for everything you and your staff did to help us with this trip. It was an amazing experience.

Carr staff was the key to making the trips so great

My son Michael and I have been on two trips with Carr Golf Travel and they were tied for first as a trip of a lifetime... On my two trips with Carr Golf, the golf was wonderful, but the organization of the trip and the follow-up by the Carr staff was key to making our trips so great...

John Abendroth, Hooked on Golf

We will definitely recommend you for future business

I just wanted to tell you what an outstanding job your staff did with the NBC program at the Ryder Cup. Catherine was extremely professional and thorough from start to finish and was a delight to work with. Sinead, Cathy and Peter were excellent on site and prior to our arrival. They were absolute pleasures to work with; nothing was ever a problem, no matter what we asked for. You should be extremely proud of your team, as they couldn’t have been better representatives of you and your company. We will certainly look forward to working with you again and will definitely recommend you for future business. Thanks again for everything.

NBC Universal, USA

Everything was perfect

Trip was very well planned and everything was perfect. We told her what we wanted to do and she made it happen. Everything she set up for us was perfect. You pay for what you get. If you want the best Sarah is the one. She is a diamond in the rough.

Jeffrey Lew, Garden City, NY

I am already looking forward to my next trip

Marty, I would like to thank you and everyone at Carr Golf Travel for arranging such a wonderful trip. The golf was spectacular and the hospitality we received from everyone at Carr Golf Travel was second to none. The team was truly a pleasure to deal with. I am already looking forward to my next trip to your great country.

Tony Sessa, Augusta, GA

It's the personal attention you provide that makes you outstanding

What more can I say about the hard working, dedicated young lady who was with us all the way if not in person but in spirit. I would recommend Carr Golf Travel to anyone travelling to Ireland for a golf holiday. You are the best. As I said to you in Dublin Marty, it's the personal attention you provide each person and group that makes you outstanding.

Peter Barry

I must admit that I had concerns regarding dealing with a firm that is thousands of miles away…

Unfortunately, we have now returned from Ireland and a fantastic golfing trip is over; it went far too quickly. I must admit that I had concerns regarding dealing with a firm that is thousands of miles away. However, Sean was so responsive and communicated so well that my concerns quickly evaporated. We are very pleased to have entrusted our arrangements to Carr Golf Travel and only have positives for the service we have received. We are pleased to recommend Carr Golf Travel to our friends or others who may inquire regarding trips to areas you serve. Please be aware that we are already working on next year's golf trip to the Dublin area (with perhaps a side trip to Machrihanish & Machrie). Again, Thanks Very Much,

Norm Glick, Encino, CA

When I returned, I received rave reviews

To recap, I was the planner for a very senior level Citigroup Outing in Inverness, Scotland and had the opportunity to work with Carr Golf Travel. During this week, clients, guests and Citigroup Directors played golf, participated in a variety of local activities and enjoyed the Scottish culture.

The event was extremely important for the Citigroup Directors due to the seniority of clients and business being conducted. All details were perfect thanks to the assistance of Catherine. She was by my side the entire time from the planning stages until the final airport departure. She and I became a team, working together to create a very successful event. I could count on Catherine for everything! Everything she did was done to perfection. The clients and guests enjoyed Catherine and commented on how well she knew the area and golf courses.

When I returned, I received rave reviews from many clients and the Citigroup Directors. They expressed their appreciation for a job well done. This credit must be shared with Catherine and her team because I could not have done it without them. I am looking forward to working with Carr Golf Travel & Catherine again in the near future. Thank you again for a very successful event.

Citigroup, New York

Carr Golf was once again a tremendous help in making an unforgettable experience

Thanks so much again for all your help with our trip. We all had a wonderful time, and fortunately the weather was cooperative! Mike Finn was tremendous and you should endeavour to use his services any time he is available...his efforts were much appreciated and it does make a difference! The chopper pilot, John, was excellent. Once again thanks for the wind shirt, and the others in our group really loved theirs, too! Your group at Carr Golf was once again a tremendous help in making an unforgettable experience in Ireland. We look forward to working with you again when we plan our next trip!

FIRST CLASS EFFORT!!

"THANK YOU" for the Professional manner to which Carr Golf Travel handled the Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation's 2006 Ryder Cup arrangements in Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Moore and our Smurfit-Stone Customer guest were extremely happy with the arrangements, services and attention paid to the detail.
FIRST CLASS EFFORT!!!

Smurfit Stone, USA

I have no idea what I would have done without you!

May I please take this opportunity to thank you personally for your patience and kindness during the period of the Ryder Cup. I have no idea what I would have done without you! I could write a novel of kind words and great compliments but sometimes less is more and on that note “THANK YOU SO MUCH”

Top Security, Ireland

She made my job so much easier with her local knowledge, her enthusiasm and her unstinting support

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Carr Golf Travel for all your help and support over the last couple of years leading up to and during the Ryder Cup in Ireland.

Catherine has been absolutely wonderful throughout and has always managed to make feel like I am her only client even though I know that’s not the case! I felt she always had our (UBS) best interests at heart and she has been unfailingly supportive and helpful.

It was a real pleasure to work with Sarah during the event. She made my job so much easier with her local knowledge, her enthusiasm and her unstinting support and nothing was ever too much trouble for her whatever time of the day – my clients had nothing but praise for her. She is such a hard worker and has a solution for everything – I don’t know what I would have done without her.

Thanks again, you have a wonderful team and I’m sure you’re very proud of them.

I contacted several firms about arranging this trip and Carr Golf was the one I chose

I contacted several firms about arranging this trip and Carr Golf was the one I chose to work with because of the manner in which my initial inquiries were handled. I was never disappointed with my choice. Everyone I dealt with at Carr Golf was friendly and helpful and the trip that you arranged was one that my wife and I will never forget. I have already told some friends who asked about the trip to contact you if they ever want to travel to Ireland. Sarah was very helpful and professional throughout the planning of our trip. She provided valuable advice and had a prompt answer to every question that I asked. Everything she arranged worked out flawlessly. We were very happy with our trip and have Sarah to thank for that.

I know in sales the greatest complement is not so much the emails or words of appreciation but rather repeat business and you certainly will gain mine

Catherine, I wanted to personally thank you for all you did to create quite an exceptional golfing experience for Jim Stevens, Bob Lancaster and myself last week in Ireland. The courses were fantastic and Adare Manor is a truly memorable place to stay. I know in sales the greatest complement is not so much the emails or words of appreciation but rather repeat business and you certainly will gain mine.

Doug Drolett, London

Everyone loves Carr Golf Travel and we can’t wait until next year!!

What a great trip only made possible by everyone at Carr Golf Travel ! Please pass on my regards and thanks to Sean. When will he be returning from his trip? Everyone loves Carr Golf Travel and we can’t wait until next year!! All the best, Chris

Chris O'Callaghan, CT

We would book again, most definitely, through Carr Golf Travel.

Sean was great - he worked with us over a long period of time and was patient as we tried to get eight travelers and Sean to consensus on our trip-accommodations, courses, itinerary. It was a very positive experience working with -from Sean to our driver and all the accommodations and courses. We were well-treated and would book again, most definitely, through Carr Golf Travel.

Robin Larkin, MN

I will be your greatest spokesman

This trip, all the arrangements, the hotels and the golf far exceeded my expectations. I will be your greatest spokesman and would be happy to be used for a recommendation. We all loved the trip.

Warren Kessler, CA

Gerry meeting us at Portmarnock exemplified your care and "hands on" approach

Sean did a great job in arranging the trip and communicating to me his findings and options available to us. His hotel arrangements made for a 1st class trip. I will certainly use Carr in the future and recommend to my friends. Gerry meeting us at Portmarnock exemplified your care and "hands on" approach.

Ed Hockfield, IL

It was an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end

It was an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end, and we must immediately give credit not only to your interest and good planning, but to John Clifford who really insured a wonderful experience for all of us. John was always on time, always made correct suggestions about allocation of time, places of interest, restaurants, history and understanding of Ireland, and was generally good company. As for his interest in making sure that the women had a good time, again John was superb - going out of his way and driving hours extra just so that we might have a bit more time in a particular city. Our arrival was smooth, all hotels were without exception, the Merrion especially good, excellent, the bed and breakfasts, charming and the service pleasant and delightful in all cases.

Lillian and Bernard Gottlieb, CA

I would not hesitate to use Carr Golf Travel again or for that matter suggesting the company to anyone

The trip was first rate right from following up my initial inquiry until we departed. The work that was also done with the emergency departure of one of our group was also great, so thank you very much. Not sure when we will be traveling back to Ireland for another experience there but I would not hesitate to use Carr Golf Travel again or for that matter suggesting the company to anyone interested in travelling to any of the destinations that you serve. For the lateness and number of changes that we had Sean go through for our group, right up to missing our first flight, I’m surprised he still wanted to deal with us and didn’t send us packing with a road map and fistful of bus transfers! A fantastic job. Not too sure what Peter was expecting for our group but he sure did a marvelous job of putting up with us and accommodating our many idiosyncrasies. Always having to be on call and then also the amount of driving that our itinerary involved we were grateful to have Peter with us.
