Why Golf in Ireland?

Golfing in Ireland offers more than great courses. It’s an entire experience. Many courses along the west coast bring dramatic scenery, while others carry real history. As a result, this variety means you’ll find the perfect package, whatever you’re after.

Ballybunion Golf Club, on the wild Atlantic coast, is a great example. Its Old Course is legendary. Tom Watson himself has praised it. Meanwhile, Doonbeg Golf Resort combines five-star accommodation with a Greg Norman-designed course, for a genuinely complete package.

Portmarnock Golf Club, near Dublin, is another must-visit. It has hosted the Irish Open and the Walker Cup, cementing its status among the game’s great venues. Nearby hotels make it easy to combine with the rest of your trip.

On top of the golf, Ireland is known for its warm hospitality. Resorts and clubs often bundle accommodation, meals, and rounds together, for a genuinely stress-free trip both on and off the course.
