Enjoy the Greens of The Emerald Isle on Golf breaks in Ireland

It may sit out on the very western edge of Europe, but the profusion of world-class golfing opportunities available on the little island of Ireland certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed internationally. 

Golfing legends like Tiger Woods and Tom Watson, world leaders such as Bill Clinton and world-famous movie stars like Bill Murray have all become regular visitors to golf courses in Ireland. Bewitched by the stunning scenery, undulating fairways and immaculate greens found at the country’s 400-plus golf clubs. 

No doubt taken as a whole, the golf courses in Ireland play their part in keeping the “Emerald Isle” the beautiful green space it remains. The country owns more than its fair share of internationally renowned championship courses, and over a quarter of the world’s natural links, all set in some of the best landscapes the planet has to offer.

A Country with Golf in Its Heart

Ballybunion 1

All of which helps explain why a country of such lovely yet modest proportions has produced such a glut of world-beating golfers, with the likes of Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington just the latest of a noble line stretching back to Harry Bradshaw and beyond. 

Like the quarter-of-a-million visitors who come here each year to enjoy fabulous, famous golf, they are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding courses on which to hone their skills, challenge their expertise, or simply hit and hope —  distracted on all sides by the majesty of their surroundings.

Little wonder Ireland was voted Europe’s Best Golf Destination at the World Golf Awards as recently as 2020. Golf courses in Ireland have it all. The craggy drama of coastal clubs found high in the northwest, such as Narin and Portnoo, continues along the Wild Atlantic Way until you reach the soft sweep of Waterville links resting deep in the southwest. Combined with the stately inland splendour of Killarney Golf & Fishing Club, set at the heart of a National Park, and interesting modern “American-style” courses like Hog’s Head, they help secure the country’s continuing reputation as one of the greatest places on Earth to enjoy the great game of golf.

A Welcome Like a Warm Embrace

Of course, Ireland’s appeal extends further than fantastic golfing opportunities. The warm and abundant hospitality found across the breadth of the country is born from a culture not simply rooted in food and drink, music and dance, but determined to celebrate them at every opportunity.

Couple this with the ready wit and easy charm of the country’s natives, and the attraction of golf breaks in Ireland becomes impossible to resist. Many golfers who don’t usually hire a caddy do here, for more often than not, they’ll guarantee the most entertaining few hours you’ll spend on a golf course, no matter how you play.
