Golf in Ireland
Where world-class golf meets unforgettable off-course experiences...
Ireland’s love for golf runs deep — not just in its world-class courses, but in the incredible women who are shaping the game. Take Leona Maguire, for instance — a trailblazer on the LPGA and LET tours who made her mark on the global stage with standout performances in the Solheim Cup. Then there’s Olivia Mehaffey, whose journey from amateur to pro has inspired many, not only for her talent but for her honest conversations around mental health and the importance of strong female role models in sport. And don’t overlook Lauren Walsh, one of Ireland’s rising stars — full of promise and passion, and undoubtedly a name you’ll be hearing a lot more of in the years to come. These women are more than golfers — they’re powerful voices and proud ambassadors for the sport in Ireland and beyond.
Recognized multiple times as the International Golf Destination of the Year, Ireland continues to shine, hosting major events like The Open in 2025 and the Ryder Cup in 2027. Beyond the fairways, Ireland offers stunning scenery, mouthwatering cuisine, castles and history, and the warm welcome of a live traditional music session in the local pub! So, what are you waiting for? Book your next golf trip on the island of Ireland for an unforgettable experience.
We’re spoiled for choice here. We have so many fantastic golf courses...There’s so much variety. There’s something for everybody.

Top tips for golfing in Ireland
How to book
If you’re not going the all-inclusive route with a golf tour operator, call ahead to book tee times, caddies, and carts, as availability varies. Ask about visitor Green Fee deals and multi-course packages through clubs or tour operators.
When to go
Ireland’s courses, especially links, are open year-round, but the best conditions are from April to October. Long summer days with daylight past 10pm allow for two rounds, a leisurely lunch, and time to unwind at the 19th hole.
What to pack
Irish golf clubs often have traditional dress codes—jeans, shorts, and sneakers are discouraged. Smart casual is best, along with waterproof gear (and sunscreen!). Soft spikes are commonly required, so check ahead. Many clubs offer club rentals, just call ahead for availability. The innovative Clubs To Hire service also makes it easy to rent everything from clubs to all sorts of related golf equipment once you arrive in Dublin Airport. Don’t forget to bring plenty of golf balls!
Where to stay
Choose a cozy B&B with gear storage and local course tips, indulge in a luxurious 5-star golf resort, or enjoy the flexibility of self-catering accommodation. Whatever your style, Ireland has the perfect stay for your golfing getaway.
