Scenery
Lush green courses, kept in prestigious conditions with the backdrop of some of the best scenery in the world is a massive bonus to being a golf player… in Ireland! You will find golf courses in idyllic places such as beaches, islands, cliff tops…
There is so much outdoor space, some might say the perfect country for social distancing. The ancient history of the island means that there are unique landscapes seen nowhere else in the world, much of which is unspoiled. There is a long list of golf tours we offer that can include sight-seeing tours and excursions.

History
The Golfing Union of Ireland traces its history back to 1891 and this makes it the world’s oldest golfing body and this makes you a part of history when you play golf here! The game of golf originated from eastern Scotland during the 15th century. It was officially introduced in Scotland in 1421 and spread throughout Europe (including Ireland). Golf in Ireland has been called a ‘Gift from Scotland’ and many early clubs turned to Scottish professionals to teach the game to its Irish golfers. Continuing the traditions and playing this sport keeps the history of golf alive in Ireland.

Health
As an outdoors sport, playing golf means you are out all day in the fresh air and golfing in Ireland means the freshest of air (sometimes mixed with rain!). Physically golf might not appear to be very great exercise but when out on the course all day it means you are walking miles and miles to complete the course and many in Ireland don’t use golf carts, these is very good news for your heart rate and blood pressure. Golf is also positive for mental health, it reduces stress and the social aspect means you are meeting plenty of people.

Social
Golf is not just a lone sport, it is a fantastic opportunity to get out and meet some fantastic Irish people! There is an opportunity for family bonding on the golf course and afterwards some sight-seeing in Ireland. Going on an Irish golf trip is not just about the game, it’s immersing yourself in the Irish culture, cuisine and ‘craic’!

Competitions
Golf is a sport and in Ireland as with all sports comes the competitive side. There is the main one; The Irish Open and a number of Amateur Tournaments. A massive tournament returning to Adare in co. Limerick in 2022 (postponed in 2020/2021) is the JP McManus Golf Pro-Am. There are many very famous names signed up from the golf, music and movie world. We highly recommend a luxury golf tour of Ireland in 2020 coincides with this famous tournament.
