Carr Golf celebrating 25th anniversary

The Old Head of Kinsale

Carr Golf Travel has announced its 2014 event schedule, marking the Irish organisation's 25th year in business.

The 7th Invitational Father & Daughter Golf Tournament leaves Doonbeg after six years and will be played at the Old Head of Kinsale Golf Links from July 20-23, which will also host the 5th Celtic Couples Challenge from September 21-25.

The World Invitational Father & Son will be played at Waterville from August 6-10 while the Carr Golf Invitational Pro-Am will be played on the links of Northern Ireland from October 19-24.

Carr Golf’s events have attracted 4,000 participants over 24 years and upwards of 200 teams will participate in the 2014 events.

The Celtic Couples will however also feature round at Cork Golf Club, designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, who also created Augusta National, Lahinch, Cypress Point and the San Francisco Golf Club.

“Trying to find courses and locations that match last year’s venues, Doonbeg and Turnberry, was a challenge, but the Old Head of Kinsale is such a spectacular course and the village of Kinsale is one of the most beautiful locations in Ireland, this made perfect sense for these ladies golf events,” said Marty Carr, CEO of Carr Golf Travel.
