Golf
- Trolleys and buggies are available to rent at most clubs. I would advise that you book them in advance to avoid disappointment.
- All scorecards are in Metres. Approximately 10% less that Yards.
- Your GPS watch will be loaded with most courses.
- Play from a suitable tee. Ask if you are unsure.
Travel
- Summers can be warm so don’t forget your sun cream.
- Bring a plug adapter as their sockets differ to ours.
- Aer Lingus and Ryanair are the two Airlines flying direct From Dublin to Prague. Aer Lingus flies direct from Cork Airport.
- Flights departing from Prague to Ireland leave from Terminal 1.
- Travelling around the city on public transport is great and very cheap. I would recommend you get a daily pass for 120CZK (approx. €5)
- Hailing a taxi on the street is not advised. Use a taxi app like Uber, Free Now or Bolt to get the best price.
Essentials
- The currency in the Czech Republic is the Czech Koruna. Most places accept Credit and debit cards but a little cash can be useful. There are ATMs in the arrival halls of the airport to withdraw cash.
- Bring your European Health Insurance card (Formerly the E111) The EHIC provides access to necessary, state-provided healthcare. However, it is not a replacement for Travel Insurance.
- If you require consular assistance such as an emergency passport, there is an Irish Embassy in Prague. Address: Tržiště 13, 118 00 Prague 1, 2nd Floor, Tel: +420 257 011 280
- The Czech language is very difficult. Don’t worry. You will find that most locals involved in the hospitality and tourism sector speak very good English.
- Residents’ drinks in the hotels usually finish at 11.00 pm. If you are looking to continue your evening there are plenty of Bars and clubs open late.
