WHY CHOOSE A GOLF TRIP IN IRELAND

Ireland GOLF VACATIONS

  • Ireland is very popular with golfers, they will tell you that a visit to the ‘The Emerald Isle’ is like finding a friend for life and the golf is brilliant.

  • The land is beautiful; the turbulent history stretches back 6000 years and is rich in myths and legends.

  • The traditions are fascinating, fairs, festivals, music including some odd instruments, fiercely competitive dancing and joke-telling, particularly one-liners.

  • The Irish also love a good excuse for a party and the pubs are at the heart of Irish cultural, social and musical life. 

  • They are not places just to drink, but to talk, listen to poetry, traditional music, eat delicious food and of course not forgetting the Guinness.

  • There is something for everyone, spectacular coastline with great beaches, horse racing, fishing, water sports, gastronomic dining opportunities, historic sites, social history, and traditional crafts such as the world-famous Waterford Crystal.

  • The cities are vibrant and cosmopolitan, not too big but plenty to see and do.
