Itinerary

Day 1: Play Doonbeg Links

This extraordinary links site features grass-covered dunes rising nearly 100 feet above the white-capped Atlantic. Designed by Greg Norman and stretching 1.5 miles around a crescent-shaped beach, Doonbeg was named 2010 European Golf Resort of the Year by IAGTO. Enjoy a 3-night stay at Doonbeg Lodge, where world-class golf meets grand Irish country house. Doonbeg Lodge offers luxury 5-star accommodations, fine cuisine, and a pampering spa.

Day 2: Play Ballybunion Old Course

One of the finest links courses in the world. As Tom Watson says, “Standing on the first tee overlooking an old graveyard the golfer has an inclination of the sense of mystique and timelessness that is to follow.” Founded in 1893.

Day 3: Play Lahinch Golf Club

Lahinch is an insiders favorite. The course features a classic design that offers a great deal of variety, including two exceptional blind shots. Created by Old Tom Morris in 1892, it was transformed by Alister Mackenzie in 1927.

Day 4: Play Portmarnock Golf Club

From start to finish this course is sure to please. With a natural design and graceful flow between holes, golfers enjoy a classic links challenge with nearly 100 bunkers painstakingly placed and skillfully constructed. The Portmarnock Hotel is your home-base for the next 4 nights. At the Portmarnock Hotel, open your bedroom curtains to the sea, garden, or golf course; relax with a pint at the newly refurbished Jameson Bar; and schedule a rejuvenating spa treatment.

Day 5: Play Royal County Down

The legendary Tom Morris laid out this course, and it has been described as “a golfing feast of banquet proportions.” While its location beneath the Mountains of Mourne may earn it the title of most beautiful links in the world, it is without a doubt one of the toughest. Founded in 1889, it played host to the British Senior Open in 2000 & 2001.

Day 6: Play The European Club

The first links course built in the 20th century on the east coast of Ireland, it was voted 6th in the country within its first two years! The layout has some classic and traditional doglegs running through sand dunes, and several holes along the ocean. A must play. Founded in 1992.

Day 7: Play Royal Dublin Golf Club

A definite inclusion in the list of great Irish links courses, Royal Dublin is Ireland’s second oldest golf club and possesses a history to match. The Irish Open was staged at Royal Dublin from 1983 to 1985; Seve Ballesteros won it twice, and Bernard Langer won in 1984.

Day 8: Slán ábhaile!

Transfer to Dublin Airport, say goodbye to your driver or drop off your car rental and board your flight for home
