Con Cluskey, Golf Organiser

Hi, I'm Con Cluskey better known as Lead Singer with The Bachelors.

Since 2005 I have organised the golf competitions on Lorna's Parador holidays. We spent a week in May in Galicia in North West Spain, staying in the Paradores at Baiona and Santiago and played golf at Ria de Vigo, a spectacular 18 hole course overlooking the city and bay of Vigo

On previous holidays we played

At PGA Catalonia, Emporda and Platja de Pals whilst staying at the Paradores at Aiguablava and Cardona

At Montecastillo, Montenmedio, Baveira and Malaga Golf in Andalucia

At El Saler, Oliva Nova and La Sella between Valencia and Alicante. The Parador at El Saler has been completely refurbished and the course is now in peak condition so we intend to include both El Saler and Oliva Nova in a Parador golfing holiday early in 2009.

Our golf competitions are sponsored by Marques de Caceres bodegas in La Rioja and the Connemara Smokehouse, so prizes of wine and smoked salmon are delivered to you so there are no heavy prizes to carry home.

Spain is famed equally for its castles and its golf courses and with the Paradors network, both can be combined.

Two of the contemporary Paradors have fine golf courses in their grounds - the 18 hole course at El Saler is world-renowned and Malaga Golf is surrounded by one of the first courses created in Andalusia, now boasting 27 holes. Furnished with an excellent 19th hole and with your room just off the fairway, you are guaranteed to be the first or last off the tee. The Parador de Malaga Golf is also only 3km from the airport !

Our 'SPECIAL OFFER' Golf Packages include a weekend of virtually unlimited golf, an intensive weekend combining golf with 5 hours tuition, a week of virtually unlimited golf and an intensive week of combining golf with 15 hours tuition. (Tuition will be given in groups of up to maximum 8)

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the mysterious art of golf or an old hand looking to enjoy two of Spain's finest courses, both Paradors can offer you wonderful golfing experiences at superb prices.

We are able to pre-book your tee-off time at the Paradors’ own two courses but we do recommend booking well in advance since both are popular.

HOLIDAYS IN SPAIN'S HIDDEN CORNERS - 2008

GOLFING HOLIDAYS WHICH ARE ALSO RELAXING BREAKS FOR NON-GOLFERS - ideal for people who would like to stay in Paradores with a group but do not want to do too much traveling. We arrange interesting optional excursions for non-golfers.

For golfers there are 3 competitions on each holiday organised by Con Cluskey of "The Bachelors" who has been involved in the celebrity and charity golf circuits for many years.

All green fees, buggies or trolleys are included

***Prizes from Marques de Caceres and the Connemara Smokehouse***

GOLFING HOLIDAYS WITH A DIFFERENCE

Our escorted tours are designed to introduce people to the areas of Spain and Portugal away from the overcrowded and overpriced resorts. They particularly appeal to those who say that they would like to visit the more remote areas but do not want to drive themselves, or go on a conventional coach tour, so we have tried to fill the gap by organising tours staying in Paradores and other hotels in "Real Spain" .We aim to make the tours as flexible as possible, giving plenty of free time to enjoy the Paradores in which we stay.

Since 2005 we have included golf on some of our tours. These are very different from the usual golfing holidays as golf is combined with the theme of our tours, visiting cities, National Parks etc and offering the unique experience of staying in Paradores in some of the most scenic and unspoilt areas of Spain.

We started our tours in 2002 and now have many regular people travelling with us - some have been four and five times, so we are hoping that the idea of including golf 2 or 3 times a year will appeal to people who would enjoy an interesting holiday with some fun golf attached. We are so fortunate to have Con Cluskey organising the competitions. When he is not singing with "The Bachelors" he is very involved in the celebrity charity golf circuit, so is the ideal person to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Although we play at some of the finest courses in Spain, the golf is not taken too seriously. However the prizes are worth playing for as they are presented by Marques de Caceres bodegas in Rioja and the Connemara Smokehouse.

There are always plenty of alternatives for non golfers, and all our holidays can be extended if people wish to stay for a few extra days.

***If a group of 8 or more golfers book together the lead person would have free green fees and buggies + 5% discount on the accommodation***
