Republic of Ireland Golf Tours

This is a traditional out-and-back routing but features some of the quirkiest holes you will ever play on a World Top 100 course.

We always recommend that our groups take a caddy when playing the Old Course at Lahinch.

With blind shots from the tees, approach shots over massive dunes, drops in fairway height, and some tricky reads on the greens, you’ll be in much better shape having someone help with the lines and club selection.

Make no mistake - this is a fantastic experience set in staggering natural beauty. Sitting on Liscannor Bay, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and with the Inagh river estuary to the north, it is one of golf’s very finest locations.

Ballybunion Golf Links is an exceptional golf course routed through massive sand dunes and sitting right next to the Atlantic Ocean.

The run of holes from the 7th to the 17th are just fantastic, with the 11th rightly regarded by many as a real sensory experience and a true test of golf.

Those holes that run along the top of the dunes with the beach below are stunning, and if there is a westerly blowing straight off the Atlantic, this course can be a ferocious but enjoyable, and a test of your strategy and club selection.

The setting and views are stunning, and the golf course layout is superb, with many holes bordering Barrow Beach.

Our advice would be to select the best tees to suit your ability and the wind speed. This course needs to be enjoyed, and from the back boxes when there is more than a breeze coming in off the Atlantic, it is a real challenge even for low-handicap golfers.

The back nine feels like playing a different course from the front nine. The dunes are huge, and the routing between them is fabulous, with some big carries to plateau greens - but this is immense fun.

Your welcome from all in the clubhouse and their wonderful hospitality, are just typically Irish, very friendly and accommodating.

Situated on a promontory jutting into Ballinskelligs Bay in the North Atlantic, Waterville Golf Links is in a spectacular location. Originally laid out in 1889 and with two redesigns since, it combines classic links elements with firm rolling fairways, sod-faced bunkers, and playing through the ever-changing coastal winds. Equally, you really need to keep focussed to avoid being distracted by the views!

There are some great opening holes that really get you in the mood for how fantastic this course is. Waterville is a unique experience on this tour and one of the finest links in the south west of Ireland.

It is difficult to know where to start when talking about the Old Head Links. It is a unique golfing experience set in one of the most awe-inspiring locations. The course is perched 300 feet above the Atlantic and routed on a headland that stretches two miles into the Ocean.

Strictly speaking, it is a hilltop course, not a Links and it is exposed to all that nature can throw at you. When you are there, you don’t really care whether it’s a Links or not, as it is a truly unique golfing experience with nine breathtaking holes bordering the cliff tops. 

The clubhouse facilities and service are first-class. The terrace either pre or post-golf is a great place to relax and enjoy superb food. They will even bring you a snack at the turn if you order in advance, including oysters and Guinness or a glass of fizz.
