When to Book a Trip
The most sought-after courses and accommodations have limited availability and demand is high. Most of our clients are booking trips to Ireland and Northern Ireland 14-30 months in advance. Booking early also helps secure better tee times. Some popular courses release visitor tee times on a specific day and sell out within hours!

Discover Why Golfers Choose Pioneer Golf
We had a great experience with pioneer golf! They set up a very wonderful and doable golf and travel schedule for our Scotland trip in Aug 2025. Our driver was excellent, always on time. Our tee times allowed us plenty of time to see other sites and approach our golf in a relaxed non hurried fashion. They were very complete in keeping us on track with course requirements and in trying to secure spots on the Old Course.Kudos to Pioneer Golf!

We chose Pioneer to set up all the details for a one week St Andrews Scotland Golf vacation for four. We began with them one year in advance and their attention to detail was exceptional. It was an epic trip and that is in part a product of Pioneers involvement in taking many of the details off our plate.

Fantastic experience in Scotland. Pioneer Golf was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and accommodating with regards to course bookings, overnight stays and transportation to all of our venues. Highly recommend.

Pioneer made a golf trip of a lifetime for 12 "70 somethings" a reality and easy. Pioneer was able to get us on courses others we looked to could not. The highlight being the "old" course at St. Andrews. They also allowed us access to an app with our detail itinerary available to all 12 with details of every step of the way, even dinner reservations we had booked ourselves.

Pioneer not only put together a lovely itinerary but were helpful every step of the way when we had questions and so on. They also have an excellent in-country team, including your driver Eugene. Have already recommended them to others. Many thanks!

Pioneer Golf Exceeded our Expectation from first day I made contact to the day of departure. Pioneer arranged every step without a hiccup. Transportation was top end and on time, Booking courses we wanted to play as well navigating the Ballot process. (Our ballot was selected on the first day we were eligible, yeah Baby). Jackson our Trip Coordinator retuned communications (phone, e-mail, text) quickly and had the patience to explain the crazy ballot selection process perfectly. All in All you should seriously consider Pioneer Golf for your next Golf Adventure. I can only comment on our Scotland St Andrew’s trip as I have not used them (yet) for our groups next adventure. I am not a paid spokesperson for Pioneer only a totally satisfied client. BOOM !!!!

A group of friends and I recently used Pioneer Golf for our golf trip in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and they were fantastic. The courses they lined up for us were incredible. Our driver was always on time, and a genuine pleasure to be around. From the time that we got picked up from the airport through the morning we got dropped back off to fly home a week and change later, Pioneer had us covered. I would highly recommend, and I look forward to using Pioneer again in the future for our next trip.

Pioneer Golf arranged our trip for 8 golfers to Scotland. Their staff is incredible to work with. Pioneer Golf is an high quality company and I would highly recommend them.

This is our second trip using Pioneer Golf. Both trips have been top shelf. From the rental car to the hotels and especially the golf have all been way beyond our expectations. The Trip coordinator Deb was aces everything I asked for she delivered. We're planning our next trip and we'll absolutely go through Pioneer Golf.
