Ballybunion
​
Ballybunion Golf Club is set amidst dunes on the untamed Atlantic coast of South West Ireland. The Old Course at Ballybunion Golf Club, which boasts 36 breathtaking holes of links golf and is widely known worldwide, has been a popular destination for tourists for many years and is regarded as the best in the Republic of Ireland. Although it is shorter in distance, the much more recent Cashen Course, created by Trent Jones Sr, is nevertheless a fantastic test because of its small greens, narrow fairways, and massive sand dunes.
Adare Manor
One of Ireland's golfing treasures, Adare Manor, has garnered praise from critics ever since its breathtaking makeover by renowned architect Tom Fazio. The luxurious golf experience at Adare Manor is unmatched in Europe, and the hotel has recently undergone a significant renovation. Adare Manor was recognized as the top resort in Europe and the fifth best in the world by Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice. This, together with The Oak Room Restaurant's Michelin Star accolade, demonstrate Adare's meteoric rise. Among the land of links, the Adare Manor Golf Course is a beauty of parkland. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1995 and later enhanced by Tom Fazio, this formidable course spans more than 7500 yards from the tips. It has hosted several Irish Opens on the European Tour and is set to host the Ryder Cup in 2027. A strategic shot-makers course that routinely ranks in the top 20 in Ireland, it features lush, well-kept fairways, mature tree-scaping, and water on 14 holes.
Narin & Portnoo
Narin & Portnoo Links is situated spectacularly on Ireland's North West coast, surrounded by a landscape rich in prehistoric tombs and four- or five-thousand-year-old Bronze Age forts. The ancient Celts considered this area to be the "edge of the world," This links has hosted golf since 1905, and in 2018 the new owners brought in Hanse Golf Design to totally redesign and modernize the course. Hanse remarks, "This is our first chance to focus on a piece of ground that was created by nature," after seeing the breathtaking final product. There is something romantic about this, even though we have the good fortune to work on some of the best golf courses in the world.
Rosapenna St Patricks Links
Redesigned by the highly regarded course architect Tom Doak in 2013, this plot of land was completed in 2020 to create an all new 18-hole layout. With breathtaking views of the shoreline, it's situated on some amazing prime real estate facing Sheephaven Bay. Before navigating through softer dunes on the inward 9, the front nine leads you via some sizable sand dunes. This golf course should undoubtedly be near the top of golfers' "to play lists" in the future.
Portstewart
Located near Royal Portrush on the north coast of Northern Ireland, we highly suggest a visit to Portstewart, especially the Strand Course, regularly ranked third behind the magnificent Royal works of art at County Down and Portrush in terms of best courses in Northern Ireland, The Strand is defined by its undulating dunes, runoff pot bunkers, rolling fairways, and difficult manicured greens. The European Tours Irish Open was held here in 2017 won by Jon Rahm who said “the golf course is amazing. It’s probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most”.
Royal Portrush
Royal Portrush Golf Club is set in a triangle of massive sandhills with breathtaking views of the hills of Donegal to the west, the Isle of Islay and Southern Hebrides to the north, and the famous Giant's Causeway and the Skerries to the east. The Causeway Coast & Glens area is recognized for its exceptional natural beauty. The legendary Dunluce Links golf course in Royal Portrush, one of the hardest in the world, gets its name from the ruins of the 13th-century Dunluce Castle, which overlooks the courses. Being the only course to hold the Open Championship (twice) outside of mainland UK, Dunluce Links is regarded as one of the top links courses in the world and has played host to over 50 national and international amateur championships. Dunluce Links is a must-play when visiting Northern Ireland.
Royal County Down
The Royal County Down Golf Club is located inside the Murlough Nature Reserve, with the coastline of Dundrum Bay and the majestic Mourne Mountains on either side. It is only right that the Championship Links is frequently rated as the best course in the world given its amazing natural surroundings. The club, which was established in 1889 and has two courses, has a rich history and has hosted several notable amateur and professional championships over the years.
Tee times are hard to come by at this highly rated and sought-after golf club, so to avoid disappointment, we recommend scheduling at least 12 months in advance.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
