Ireland
Home to the Most Diverse Collection of Golf in the World
Anywhere you go in Ireland, you’ll find a golf course nearby. Many of the world’s legendary links courses dot Ireland’s coastlines. But don’t let the lure of its seaside links prevent you from visiting the nation’s countless parkland courses. Stay in a castle. Enjoy a spa resort. Hoist a pint in a local pub. There’s so many ways to Golf in Ireland!
TGC suggests you begin planning your trip 12-18 months before you want to travel for best options on lodging availability and tee times. Many top courses full-up 9-12 months in advance.
