All around the Irish coastline, they are spread
like gems - created by nature and linked together to form a necklace
of beauty. Ireland has more links courses that anywhere else
in the world, and the attraction of combating sea winds on terrain
set amidst towering dunes is one which continues to captivate
golfers from all over the world.
Many of the game's great players have been enchanted with Irish
links courses.
Tiger Woods traditionally spends the week before a British Open
savouring the delights of Waterville or Royal County Down or
any one of a number of other courses. And Tom Watson liked Ballybunion
- with its jumbled dunes and rugged setting on clifttops overlooking
the Atlantic - so much that he remarked, "it offers some
of the finest and most demanding shots into the greens of any
course."
Irish links courses have their own quirks and characteristics.
At Ballybunion, it is the positioning of the first tee in close
proximity to a cemetery; and many a pushed tee-shot has ended
up amongst the headstones. At Lahinch, there are the holes, which
require blind approach shots over mounds to find the green.
Everywhere in Ireland there are links - many of them famous,
that will enthral and captivate. They are seaside courses that
are worth discovering, and (even more so) worth returning to.
All around the island, dotted along rugged coastlines, are golf
links that feature towering dunes and tumbling fairways, and
undulating greens. It is golf as it should be, testing and exhilarating
and unrelenting. It is golf with a uniquely Irish flavour.
The following are possible golf courses to be played in specific
regions of Ireland, we can customize your itinerary to include
a many as you wish.
