Golf courses in Republic of Ireland

Ireland has more links courses per square kilometre than any other country in the world, and that is precisely what makes it so extraordinary for golfers. Here you don't play a well-manicured parkland course with neat borders and still ponds. Ireland throws you straight into nature: rugged fairways, howling winds off the Atlantic and greens that will challenge your handicap more than you're used to. Ireland's finest courses speak for themselves. Old Head Golf Links, Lahinch Golf Club, Ballyliffin Golf Club and The European Club are among the favourite courses in Europe on Leading Courses. And then there is Adare Manor, which hosts the Ryder Cup in 2027. Book now and you play the course that will soon have the whole golf world heading to Ireland. A golf holiday in Ireland requires some planning. The courses along the west coast are not always easy to reach, but worth every metre of the journey. In terms of weather, you need to be realistic: Ireland is wet, green and unpredictable. But that is precisely what gives the courses their character. Pack a good waterproof and regard a shower as part of the experience. Greenfees are remarkably reasonable for the quality you receive, particularly outside peak season. Tee times at most Irish courses can be booked directly online via Leading Courses.
