Geography Of Irish Golf Courses
There are many good reasons to take golf vacations in Ireland. Chief among these are the world renowned courses, the informal friendliness of the people and of course, the wonderful scenery. Here is a very brief run down on what kind of terrain to expect from each local region when you consider golf vacations in Ireland The West and North West This region lies along the rugged Atlantic coast, from Ballyliffin all the way down to Galway. Links golf is pretty much the order of the day here although there is also a scattering of parkland courses.
The South West For all those who wish to experience the best that Irish golf has to offer, this is the region to come to. The majority of courses are located along the coastline from just south of Galway around to Waterville. There are also a few parkland courses inland. The South This region is centred around the county and city of Cork. The beautiful backdrop of parkland and heath offers exhilarating golf with a range of spectacular courses.
The South East From Dungarvan in the south, and following the Irish Sea round to Dublin, the courses in this region are mainly park and heath land. The North East (including Dublin) This region is blessed with two of the finest courses in the country. Portmarnock is arguably the best Championship Course in Ireland, and Druid’s Glen, a classic parkland course which hosted the Irish Open for four years.
The Midlands Cavan, Kildare, Laois, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon and Tipperary offer a great selection of courses in parkland settings which make use of undulating landscapes and shimmering lakes.

All Courses Great And Small: A Golfer’s Pilgrimage to England and Wales $13.99 Every golfer dreams of making a pilgrimage to the British Isles, and it sometimes seems as though every golfer is in fact making that pilgrimage, especially when you’re trying to book a tee time. The legendary courses of Scotland and Ireland are magnificent shrines, but their fame has obscured the greatness of the golf to be found all across the landscape of England and Wales. From the heathland in the north and center to the linksland on the coasts, England and Wales present an extraordinary variety of great golf experiences. In All Courses Great and Small, James W. Finegan treats the reader to a countries-wide survey of these golfing delights — some famous, like the Open Championship venues of Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham & St. Annes, and Royal St. George’s; some well known, like Sunningdale, Wentworth, and The Belfry; and some gems that have long been hidden in plain sight, like The Addington (in suburban London) or Southport & Ainsdale (not ten minutes from Royal Birkdale). There are as many outstanding courses in England and Wales as there are in Scotland and Ireland combined, a shocking fact that is easily explained: While Scotland has 5.2 million people and 550 golf courses, and Ireland has 3.5 million people and 400 courses, England and Wales have 50 million people and more than 2,000 courses. Finegan provides a charming guide to the courses and the towns, the inns and the eateries to be found along the way. He highlights the best of the not quite four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire; gives advice about lunch after your round at Sandwich; raises a cup of grog at Gog Magog; and tackles the playing and pronouncing problems posed by Pwllheli. He gives full due to the best-known places such as Rye, Wentworth, Hoylake, and the royals, but he also declares such lesser-known treasures as St. Enodoc, Silloth-on-Solway, Southerndown, and Pennard to be every bit as worthy of your time and attention. His books on the courses of Scotland and Ireland, Blasted Heaths and Blessed Greens and Emerald Fairways and Foam-Flecked Seas, have become invaluable companions to thousands of travelers; All Courses Great and Small is an irresistible and even more essential addition to the touring golfer’s shelf and suitcase. |
