Golf in Ireland

Few golfing destinations stir the imagination quite like Ireland, an island where the game feels woven into the land itself. The coastline of tumbling dunes, the soft green interior and the ever-shifting Atlantic light give every round a sense of drama, and the country is rightly celebrated as one of the spiritual homes of links golf. With well over two hundred courses spread across the island, a travelling golfer is never far from a memorable tee shot, whether perched above the sea or sheltered among rolling parkland.

The golf gathers into a handful of distinct regions, each with its own character. Northern Ireland offers the greatest concentration of courses and a wild, windswept feel, while Dublin and the East pair fine golf with easy access and city life. Down in South West Ireland the scenery turns spectacular, home to clifftop drama at Old Head Golf Links and welcoming clubs such as Kinsale Golf Club and Douglas Golf Club, while the West of Ireland rewards those who venture furthest along its rugged Atlantic edge. The climate is mild and green year round, with late spring through early autumn offering the longest, brightest days for play. For sheer variety, warmth of welcome and pure scenic beauty, Ireland remains very hard to beat as a golfing escape.
