Ghostly Halloween golf camp at Tulfarris
THE mid-term break can be a challenge for families wondering how to keep the kids amused.
Golf lovers may fancy a getaway to Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort near Blessington in Co. Wicklow which has something for all the family this Halloween.
Set on the shores of the Blessington Lakes, the superbly upgraded resort will hold a child-friendly, residential “Ghostly Golf Camp” which includes golf tuition for children and lots of family fun activities.
The two-night golf camp – suitable for first-time golfers and improvers – is aimed at boys and girls staying with their parents aged between 7 and 14 years of age and runs from the October 28-30,
Each morning children will be given golf tuition with the resident Tulfarris Club Professional, Tom O’Neill from 9.30am-12.30pm.
The children will learn the fundamentals of the game and will be tutored in all aspects, including short and long game skills.
On the morning of the October 30, Tulfarris touring professional Simon Thornton will also hold a golf clinic for adults.
“If you have a child who is interested in golf, wants to learn or wants to improve, this is the camp for them,” said club professional Tom.
“Although the children will be learning some great skills and techniques, it will all happen in a fun environment.
“We want the kids to enjoy themselves and perhaps even be inspired to take up golf themselves. All the equipment will be provided, so the only thing the children need to bring is themselves!”
The Ghostly Golf Camp is priced from €109 per adult sharing in a Deluxe Family Room (total price for 2 adults and 2 children is €488). It includes two mornings of golf tuition for the children, one evening meal, afternoon family fun activities and a late checkout.
On arrival, adults will enjoy a Halloween cocktail while the children will be served a ‘Monstrous Mocktail’.
On the first day, and following a busy morning of golf, all the family will take a 10-minute drive over to CP Adventures in Russborough House for 2 hours of fun including zipline, abseiling, archery, bungee trampoline and more.
On either evening, guests can enjoy a family meal in the award-winning AA Rosette Lime Tree Restaurant. Later, a children’s spooky film will be screened where the children will be served popcorn and drinks, leaving the parents with a few hours of ‘me time’.
Set across three peninsulas the beautiful 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Patrick J. Merrigan.
PREM Group purchased the 90-bedroom hotel in 2016 and since then have already spent over €6 million on the property to return the luxury 18th century Manor House and its surrounding grounds to their former glory.
