Hi, I’m Pete, a 34-year-old outdoor enthusiast and avid golfer. I’ve been playing golf all my life and currently hold a handicap of 1 at Royal County Down, where my brother is the head professional. When I’m not on the course, you’ll likely find me hiking or mountain biking through Tollymore Forest Park, which is just a stone’s throw from the apartment. I live next door, so I’m always available to offer advice on the best local trails, golf courses, or places to eat. Whether you’d like some recommendations or prefer to enjoy your stay in privacy, I’m happy to accommodate whatever suits you best. Looking forward to welcoming you!
