Golf vacation in Ireland

Be sure to discover Dublin on your golf vacation in Ireland

On a golf trip through Ireland, you can hardly miss Dublin: after a round of golf on the courses near the capital, it is worth visiting the sights of Dublin and wandering through the alleyways of the lively old town. Do you know Dublin Castle, the Guinness Brewery, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College, where Oscar Wilde once studied, from your last business or city trip? A fresh Guinness in a traditional music pub is still guaranteed to taste good and the cozy cafés and authentic stores are always worth a visit. Or make an extraordinary discovery for your private collection at a whisky tasting in one of the renowned distilleries.

Golf vacation in the land of cliffs and puffins

For nature-loving golfers, the Emerald Island offers incredible wow moments along the longest coastal road in the world. The views from the Cliffs of Moher are not to be missed on your drive along the Wild Atlantic Way, nor is a birdie on one of the windswept golf courses on the impressive west coast with the fingers of Beara, Kerry and Dingle. The incredible density of golf courses will encourage you to discover new oases of your favorite sport on your golf trip through Ireland. We support you in planning your trip with our expertise.

Magic, culture and a whole lot of history

If you are interested in the exciting past of the Emerald Isle in addition to playing on the most beautiful courses in the Republic of Ireland, historical sights await you everywhere: Ireland's magical place of power, the Rock of Cashel is one of them, as is Kilkenny Castle in the medieval town of Kilkenny in the south-east. The Benedictine abbey of Kylemore Abbey in the Connemara region, the former Viking settlement of Limerick and the colorful port city of Cork with the imposing St. Fin Barre Cathedral and Cork City Gaol are also definitely worth a visit.

Ireland - discover the allure of a green golfing paradise

Although the motto “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing” applies to golf vacations in Ireland all year round, the weather in the summer months is often better than feared. The mild Gulf Stream ensures that temperatures are pleasant all year round. Golf trips to Ireland are therefore also possible when the courses in this country are closed.
