A Magical Golfing Experience
When it comes to golf, this part of the world offers three key ingredients that make a golf break truly special: spectacle, variety and choice. On the dramatic shores of Limerick and County Clair, where the River Shannon empties into the Atlantic, you’ll find the fair links of Ballybunion and Lahinch. Each is only an hour’s drive from Limerick, and both courses are contenders for the title “most beautiful in Ireland”.
Further south, there’s more stunning seashore golf to enjoy at Tralee, where the breathtaking Arnold Palmer-designed course runs the cliffs where the mediaeval tower stands sentinel. Inland, you’ll find another prestigious and historic club, Killarney Golf and Fishing, offering 36-holes of parkland golf set in Killarney National Park on the banks of Lough Leane. This beautiful venue, which has hosted four Irish Open Championships, makes the perfect break for those looking for a moment’s respite from windswept links.
Back on the shores of the Ring of Kerry, you’ll discover other golfing experiences, such as the more modern offering at Hog’s Head, a club with a course built on land acquired as recently as 2014 and offering the more American-style course, including some exciting quirks like the Biarritz green on the 6th.
For golfing enthusiasts, a Southwest Ireland golf tour takes you to a special part of a spectacular country. One where the choice of golfing opportunities is as generous and abundant as the famous Irish hospitality.
