Update on Golfing in Ireland:
(Mike Brassil)

Northern Ireland: a rugged landscape that is dotted with small villages, lively pubs and lovely country house hotels. This is the beautiful and completely unspoiled Ireland. The greens fees for golf in Northern Ireland are currently a fraction of the most sought after courses located elsewhere in the country. Which is why a visit to this amazing part of Ireland is absolutely essential, and why a golf tour to Ireland’s north should be included in all of your travel plans!

Our near neighbours and settlers, the English introduced golf in Ireland in the 19th century and with nature has played its role, the South West of Ireland is what is best in Irish golf and home to some of the finest links and parkland courses. Wonderful links courses, Lahinch, Ballybunion, Tralee, Dingle, Old Head, and Waterville combine with traditional and beautiful parkland courses of Killarney, Adare Manor, Dromoland Castle, Cork and Ring of Kerry to present a mouth-watering menu of top class golf.

For wives, Ireland is an unforgettable experience. The scenery alone is breathtaking and it is a natural place for outdoor pursuits with a wide range of activities to choose from including biking, walking, horseback riding, shooting, fishing, surfing, horse racing, shopping and sightseeing trips as well as visits to historic sites and great museums.

Did you know that Ireland’s Royal County Down is ranked as the third best course by Top 100 Golf Courses, an independent website dedicated to ranking the best places to play on the planet. For the record, that’s third place out of roughly 32,000 golf courses dotted around the globe.

The climate of Ireland ensures golfers can play most of the year round. A great lifetime experience not to be missed!
