Quality to a tee

As if further proof was needed that our place is the best place to play golf… many of our courses have been accredited with a Golf Quality and Assurance award.

Tourism NI, in partnership with the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), has launched a Golf Quality Assurance Scheme which was implemented from 2020. It is designed to certify golf courses in meeting and exceeding customer expectations. Haven carried out more than 200 golf tourism audits across golf courses worldwide, IAGTO make the perfect partner to ensure certification is met only to those exceeding customer expectations.

These awards set out to raise the bar when it comes to standards at golf clubs, with a particular focus on customer service. Having these high standards for our golf industry means you can enjoy the experience at every step, from arrival at the car park, the welcome and reception you receive, clubhouse facilities and services as well as the golf course itself. So we’re not only delivering standards of excellence, we’re working to exceed expectations on all factors.

The delivery of an excellent visitor experience at our golf clubs leads to an enhanced reputation and growing international success. With our world ranked players as well as our world class golf courses, Northern Ireland has much to be proud of.
