There is something special about playing golf in Ireland. The courses are memorable, but so are the journeys between them, dramatic coastlines, quiet country roads, small towns and a warm welcome along the way

Choose the right courses

For many visitors, the south west is the ideal place to build a golf trip. Old Head Golf Links, Waterville,
Ballybunion, Tralee and courses around Cork and Kerry all offer very different experiences. The key
is not trying to play every famous course in one visit. A well-paced itinerary gives you time to enjoy
each round and the places around it.

Think about where you want to stay

Cork and Killarney make useful bases, depending on the courses you want to play. Cork works particularly well for combining golf with Kinsale, Cobh and the coast, while Killarney puts you close to the scenery and courses of County Kerry

Leave time for Ireland

A golf holiday should still feel like a holiday. Between rounds, there may be time for a walk through Killarney National Park, a meal in Kinsale, or simply a scenic drive along the coast. These moments often become as memorable as the golf itself

The journey matters

Some of Ireland’s finest courses are reached by narrow, winding country roads. Having a local driver means you can relax between rounds, enjoy the scenery and arrive ready to play rather than concentrating on the road.

Build the trip around your interests

Perhaps you want three championship links courses. Perhaps you would rather mix golf with history,
food and scenery. There is no single right way to see Ireland. A private itinerary can be shaped
around the courses, pace and experiences that matter most to you

A golf trip should be more than a list of courses

The best golf holidays combine great courses with the landscapes, history and hospitality that make Ireland special. At Cork Luxury Travel, we tailor private journeys around your interests, with a local driver-guide to take care of the driving while you enjoy the experience.
