North & West Coast of Ireland Golf Experience

Quintessential Ireland...a Road Less Traveled!

Ireland

  • Nights 7
  • Days 8
  • Rounds of Golf 6
  • Dates April 2024 - Oct 2024

A golf experience on Ireland’s West Coast usually has you arriving into Shannon International Airport, which literally splits the country from the north and the south. Most who travel to Ireland for the first time, are drawn to the big name courses that line the southwest coast. However, if you were to turn left instead of right out of Shannon and head north towards Galway to Sligo to Donegal and all the way up to Ballyliffin, you will discover some of Ireland’s finest and most economical gems!

If Robert Frost were a golfer and based on a passage in one of his famous poems, The Road Not Taken, “…Two roads diverged in a wood, and I…I took the one less traveled by…And that has made all the difference“… then it would be fair to say that Robert might have taken that left turn out of Shannon and headed north.  And he would have been right!

If you are willing to follow the similar logic in your decision, then be prepared to be rewarded.  Not only will you be able to experience some hidden gems, you will experience the many intangibles that make Ireland such an authentic place to visit, never mind to play golf!

Before You Travel

  • What to Pack for GOLF:
    • A quality rain suit, pants and jacket is a MUST! Zero Restriction and FootJoy are quality brands. If you do not own such apparel, it is expensive and note, you get what you pay for. So purchase wisely as you’ll be thankful you have it if you get a good lashing!
    • Rain gloves – a must when playing in the rain. They come in pairs and for good reason. A wet hand on a wet grip will only result in tears as your ball, and maybe your club too, will undoubtedly end up in the fescue.
    • A good ski hat – yes, not what you typically think of for golf but because most courses are on the ocean, the water temps are still only in the upper 50’s to 60 degrees. Combine these factors with some wind blowing onshore and then throw in some rain and it is a recipe for being miserable. A nice warm hat that can cover your ears could be your best friend.
    • A proper golf umbrella – a must as normal summer weather means intermittent showers that come and go throughout a 4 hour round. You can generally see what is coming so instead of changing in and out of rain gear, you can use a good sturdy wind-resistant umbrella to shelter you until the showers pass.

    Now, what about sunshine? Yes, they do have it in Ireland and when it comes out especially in the late spring and summer months, it can be quite warm to hot. Therefore, a few pairs of golf shorts are in order. Golfers have been known to wear shorts under their rain pants simply because the extremes from shower to sunshine can be very dramatic – so this is sometimes the best approach.

    All in all, these are the best tips to best prepare you for what we hope is a memorable experience golfing in Ireland.
