The Kittocks Course at Fairmont, St. Andrews
The Fairmont Hotel in St. Andrews is a 5* Resort on the outskirts of one of the most famous towns in the world. The hotel is situated about 2 miles outside of the town centre and offers views over St. Andrews Bay and the medieval skyline. It is also home to 2 championship golf courses; The Kittocks and The Torrance. Both courses are very enjoyable and are worthy inclusions in any schedule based in and around St. Andrews. Even if you don’t happen to be staying at The Fairmont, these courses are worth considering.

Seabrook Golf
A recent weekend trip with some old friends to Seabrook Island, S.C., approximately 30 minutes south of Charleston was very illuminating. Seabrook Island sits alongside Kiawah Island at the end of a 12 mile long two lane road. I first visited Seabook Island in the early 1980’s and over the years it has had it’s share of financial challenges and I have long considered it the poor cousin to neighboring Kiawah Island.

Denise at Huka Falls
New Zealand is a beautiful country with so many unique and breathtaking sights. One of my most memorable experiences there was when I visited Huka Falls in Wairakei Park; the largest falls on the Waikato River (New Zealand’s longest river) near Taupo on New Zealand’s North Island. Huka Falls is only a short 5-minute drive north of Lake Taupo.

Whenever I am staying in St. Andrews, I always make a point of visiting the Zizzi Restaurant for either lunch or dinner.
It is a casual setting serving excellent Italian food in four distinct sections of antipasti, salads, the mains (including pizza, pasta and risotto) and a selection of desserts, all within reasonable pricing. Having not been to any of the other outlets, I can only comment on the warm ambience and bustling atmosphere of St. Andrews’ own Zizzi Restaurant situated on South Street.

Golf at Tortuga Bay in the Dominican Republic, a Leading Golf property
I was delighted that we were able to announce a new partnership with one of the most respected brands in the lodging industry, Leading Hotels of the World. Leading Hotels are currently embarked on a Leading Leisure initiative to grow their resort business as it historically has been more reliant on it’s city hotels aimed at the business traveler. LHW launched Leading Spa’s last year and the Leading Golf program is the next step for them. We have been helping them conceive, design and implement this plan for the last several months and have very exciting ideas as we move ahead in the coming months.

The South West of Ireland has some spectacular golf courses and when scheduling a golf vacation that includes Ballybunion, Tralee and Waterville, the schedule must include a stay in Killarney. It is a great location and a fantastic base to play the well-known courses while the town itself is full of charm, excellent food and traditional Irish pubs.
