You're Invited to Fried Egg Golf Club's 2026 International Trips

Join us next year for two bucket-list trips to the Scottish Highlands and Southwest Ireland

We're excited to invite you to our 2026 Fried Egg Golf Club member-exclusive international trips! After incredible reception to our 2025 offerings, we knew it was time to up the ante for 2026 and we are ready to bring you in on our plans.

Working with industry experts, we curated two itineraries for next year: one to the Scottish Highlands and one to Ireland’s southwest coast. Both trips include at least six rounds of golf at world-class venues, transportation, and accommodations. Garrett Morrison will be leading the charge for the Scotland group and either Cameron Hurdus or Will Knights will be hosting those going to Ireland. We’ve also built in time for you to take in the local culture and experience the countries we’re visiting.

The lottery windows for both trips will open in May, with the Scottish Highlands trip opening first on May 7 and SW Ireland opening on May 14.

Please see below for the details regarding both itineraries! Member access codes will be required to enter the lottery.

Scottish Highlands - September 12-18, 2026

Courses included: Brora, Castle Stuart, Old Petty, Royal Dornoch, Nairn, Royal Aberdeen, & Cruden Bay

Accommodations: Royal Golf Hotel Apartments at Royal Dornoch, Marcliffe Hotel, and Hampton by Hilton at EDI

Lottery Window: May 7-11, 2025

Expected Cost**: $7,100 - Single Occupancy // $6,300 - Double Occupancy

Full Itinerary

  • September 12, 2026 - Arrivals / Afternoon golf at Brora
  • September 13, 2026 - AM Golf at Castle Stuart / PM Golf at Old Petty
  • September 14, 2026 - AM Golf at Nairn / Free afternoon
  • September 15, 2026 - Free AM / PM golf at Royal Dornoch

  • September 17, 2026 - Golf at Cruden Bay (Time TBA)
  • September 18, 2026 - Departures

A key component of our Scottish Highlands trip is the ability to stay in one location for four nights. We are setting up shop at the Royal Golf Hotel Apartments, lodging that sits on the Royal Dornoch property and just a stone’s throw away from the town of Dornoch. This not only puts you in the middle of these courses, but it allows you to explore the great town that is Dornoch during your free time.

Not as well traveled as the Fife area around St. Andrews, the Scottish Highlands have an embarrassment of golf riches. This trip swings you through a great selection of golf while still allowing you to rest up and enjoy Scotland to the fullest.

**This trip is priced at $1.33 USD to £. The quote is valid as long as the exchange rate stays between $1.28 and $1.38. If the exchange rate falls outside that parameter we will reprice the trip.

Similar to the Scottish Highlands trip, participants of the SW Ireland Trip will be set up in the town of Killarney for the first four nights of the trip. When not on the golf course, you’ll be able to explore this great Irish town and visit the local sites. The last two nights of the trip will be spent in the town of Lahinch, roughly 100 yards from the first tee and in the middle of a great area for nightlife.

Ireland is home to to many diverse regions and the southwest has some of the most eclectic and brilliant golf in the country. This trip allows you to see a mix of historic and modern while providing the chance to soak in the local scene along the way.

**This trip is priced at $1.13 USD to €. The quote is valid as long as the exchange rate stays between $1.08 and $1.18. If the exchange rate falls outside that parameter we will reprice the trip.

If you would like to hear more about these trips, we discussed both trips in depth on our April Virtual Hangout with guests Ru Macdonald and Dave Connellan. Ru is a native Scotsman and Dave an Irishman so they are extremely familiar with both of these trips and offered great color on the areas.

We cannot thank you all enough for supporting us to the point that we are able to offer up these incredible trips and spend time with our growing community. We hope you’ll consider joining us!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the registration process work?

Due to the limited spots available on the trip, we are using a lottery for this registration. FEGC members can register as a single, twosome, or foursome for the lottery. At least one player of the twosome has to be an FEGC member and at least two players of a foursome have to be FEGC members.

Can I sign up a non-FEGC member?

Yes. If you register for a twosome, you are allowed to bring one non-FEGC member. If you register for a foursome, two players in the group are allowed to be non-FEGC members.

Is lodging included?

Yes, six nights of lodging is included on the trip. Participants will stay at the Great Southern Killarney Hotel for four nights before moving over to the Vaughan Lodge for two nights in Lahinch.

Is airfare included?

No, participants will organize their own airfare. We'll take transportation from there!

Why is there a price range for the estimated cost?

This trip is priced at $1.09 USD to € and is dependent on the exchange rate leading into the trip. The quote is valid as long as the exchange rate stays between $1.04 and $1.14. If the exchange rate falls outside that parameter we will reprice the trip.

How does payment work?

Upon being selected from the lottery, a $3,000 deposit is due to secure your spot. The balance will be due approximately four months ahead of the trip. Participants will be sent invoices with the option to use ACH payments or use a credit card with an additional processing fee.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds will be issued only when the spot on the trip is replaced by another FEGC member. At that time, a refund will be issued minus any processing fees incurred.

About the author

Will Knights

Golf was a big part of my upbringing as I grew up with a PGA Professional as a dad. I went to the course with him in the morning, helped out in the pro shop, caddied, and ultimately played golf in college before helping out in the early days of Fried Egg. While I’ve been involved in many different aspects of our organization over the years, today you’ll largely find me at our events and helping our membership as our Community Manager. And while I love this position, my dream job will always be starting shortstop for the Chicago Cubs.
