Beyond the Dunes was founded on a simple conviction: that Ireland is home to the finest links golf in the world, and that most visitors only scratch the surface of what the island has to offer.
The name comes from a belief that the best golf travel is about more than the courses themselves. It's about what lies beyond the dunes — the history, the landscape, the people, the food, the music, and the particular quality of light on an Irish morning that you can't quite describe but never forget.
We focus exclusively on Ireland. Not Ireland and Scotland. Not Ireland and Spain. Ireland — because knowing one country deeply is worth more than knowing twenty countries superficially. We know which courses are worth the early start, which clubhouses pour the best Guinness, and which back roads take you past something you'll never forget.
We don't sell packages. We build itineraries — from scratch, around you. Your handicap, your pace, your interests, your budget. Some clients want to play five courses in five days. Others want to play two courses and spend the rest of the time in a castle. Both are right.
The difference between a good trip and an extraordinary one is almost always in the details. The right table at the right restaurant. The tee time that catches the morning light. The local guide who knows the history of every hole. We obsess over these things so you don't have to.
We work with a small number of clients each year — by design. We want to know your game, your preferences, and your stories. Most of our clients come back. Many become friends. That's the measure we care about.
