One of the many treasures that has been hidden away along the great expanse of rugged beauty that is Ireland’s coastline.

You walk off one of the greatest links courses in the world, pull a chair up in the local pub/restaurant and share a tale or ten over a pint with the friendliest stranger you may have ever met….this is when the golf trip of a lifetime begins. Ireland is blessed with both the finest links in the world and the most charming hosts you could meet who will listen to every adventure you have had on the likes of Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, or Ballybunion and then add to your tales with their own.

Ballybunion was founded in 1893 and is one of the best courses in the world

Start your tale today as Grand Golf Travel will happily guide you through the planning process of your trip to Ireland, a country that is blessed with nearly one third of the links in the world. A hidden gem like County Louth might tempt you into staying an extra day. Perhaps after lunch you will tee it up on the Cashen Course at Ballybunion, which combined with the Old Course at Ballybunion may be the finest 36 holes you have played in a day. That evening we will make sure you soak up the best local atmosphere as the mind wanders to the next day’s adventure on another amazing course. Don’t wait another minute as one of our Irish golf experts is just an email away from beginning your journey to the green sod we all call home.

Dunguaire Castle was built in 1520 on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay.

To allow you to research your trip more extensively we have divided Ireland into four regions – South, East, North and West – listing some of the most popular golf courses & hotels in each area.
