〝We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday〞

We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, the resort, hotel and golf courses were fabulous (as was the weather). A great location which suited us all, the hotel was clean and the staff most welcoming and helpful. The food is great and lots of choices and as much as you like. The golf courses were challenging in their own way but in good condition and we would be happy to play both North and South again. All in all a great holiday and thank you and your team for arranging the trip for us.

Yes! All courses in Ireland offer the possibility to rent a buggy for the entire time of your play. Subject to availability on your tee time and play date.

A links course is classified as such if it is built on the sandy soil next to the sea. Courses were originally built on this sandy terrain as it is unsuitable for farming. Links courses tend to follow the lie of the land without earth excavation and are open to the elements.

A golf package to Ireland can cost anything from £70 a day to upwards of £1000 a day depending on your choice of course and lodging. There is something for every budget here.

You will need a desire to visit one of the world’s most welcoming and friendly countries with some incredible countryside and villages, together with a thirst for culture, history, and of course a bit of the black stuff. Pre-booked tee times and accommodation are also essential for most of the year.

You can play golf virtually anywhere in Ireland. If you want to experience great links courses then around Dublin on the east course or anywhere on the west and north coasts. There are very many great inland courses that should be played too with usually lower green fees. Tell us your requirements and we’ll point you in the right direction!

Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle for good reason. It is green because the land gets well watered. You see all four seasons in one day quite frequently so go prepared for all weathers.
