It’s a rare course that has the calm serenity to make your heart race. And Ireland has over 350 of them.

Ireland is where the action is. A temperate climate, scenery ranging from gentle plains to mountains to rolling hills, miles of coastline, a spate of lakes and rivers—this ideal outdoor setting beckons with all kinds of active pursuits.

The right golf tour lets you focus on exactly what you came for. With 350-plus courses, there’s hardly a corner of Ireland where you’re more than a golf ball’s throw from an intriguing round. The legendary courses of the southwest and west, the “royals” in the north, the cluster of challenging courses about Dublin, the links of the southeast—all combine a memorable golf experience with a superb golfer’s-eye view of some of Ireland’s breathtaking scenery.
