Rose Travel Joins the Ireland Golf Tour Operators Association (IGTOA)

Ireland Golf Tour Operators Association

In September 2024, Rose Travel became a member of the Ireland Golf Tour Operators Association (IGTOA), the representative body for Ireland’s golf tour operators and the wider Irish golf tourism industry.

IGTOA represents leading Irish golf tour operators alongside golf courses, resorts, accommodation providers, transport companies and specialist service providers working within the golf tourism sector. The association supports collaboration, professional standards and the continued development of Ireland as a leading golf destination.

Supporting golf tour operators in Ireland

Rose Travel specialises in delivering professional golf transport services across Ireland, supporting tour operators, travel planners and hosted golf groups with reliable, schedule-led transport.

Membership of IGTOA reflects our commitment to working closely with the Irish golf travel trade and to supporting structured golf itineraries where timing, coordination and local knowledge are essential. As a transport provider, we operate as part of the wider delivery team, ensuring ground transport integrates smoothly with accommodation, tee times and touring programmes.

Golf transport services for inbound programmes

We regularly support golf travel programmes across Ireland, providing transport for:

• Inbound golf tour operators

• Hosted and escorted golf groups

• Multi-course and multi-day itineraries

• Private groups travelling on a bespoke basis

Our services are delivered using chauffeur vehicles, minibuses and coaches selected to suit group size, luggage requirements and itinerary complexity. Drivers are experienced in working to tee times, course schedules and accommodation check-ins, operating with discretion, judgement and respect for client privacy.

Vehicles are configured to accommodate golf bags comfortably and to support efficient, punctual transfers between courses and accommodation, with options available to suit client preferences including seating layout, onboard tables, USB charging points, tinted windows and refreshment storage.

A practical, execution-focused approach

Golf travel depends on precision and reliability. Our team delivers transport to agreed schedules, allowing groups to depart for tee times on their own timetable, arrive prepared for play and return at their own pace once rounds are complete.

From early starts to post-round hospitality, transport is managed so clients can focus on the golfing experience rather than logistics.

Looking ahead

Membership of IGTOA marks an important step in strengthening our engagement with Ireland’s golf tourism sector. We look forward to continuing to support Irish golf tour operators and contributing as a professional transport partner within the domestic and inbound golf travel market.
