IRELAND, SCOTLAND
 
Looking to do a golf vacation to either Ireland or Scotland. Most of the websites I have found tend to cater to groups of 4-8 or more golfers in package tours. Can anyone suggest a company that can coordinate a golf tour for 2 people (1 of whom is a non-golfer) ?? Thanks to all.

A more descriptive title will probably help (I clicked on it, but I know nothing about golf tours, so can't really help). For instance: 'Help needed with small golf tours in Ireland/Scotland' :)

Good luck!

Ummm, I'm not a company but I've done it twice for folks from here, just for fun. If you want someone you can sue, try these guys:-

Having said that, I can only do Scotland

for 2 people -- do it yourselves. Not hard at all. The golf-centric tours tend to cater to high rollers/high budget travelers. Even if one fits in that category - doing it independently gives you more flexibility.

Unless you plan on playing golf nearly every single day, you probably don't use a golf tour company.

I've taken golfing friends to Scotland several times. I made all the arrangements including getting them tee times at places like The Old Course, Carnoustie, Royal Dornoch, Troon, Prestwick, etc. And they picked up other rounds on less famous courses every few days. But we also had lots of free days for in-depth sightseeing.
