Irelands Golf Courses are renowned world wide as being amongst the finest in the world with quality accommodation and hotels located nearby. Ireland has a wonderful combination of both parkland golf courses and links golf courses which have been carved from the sand dunes that surround the tourist coastline of Ireland.

The links courses often contain sea inlets, or tees and greens projecting outwards into the sea. This makes for wonderful scenery, an enjoyable golf holiday in Ireland not to mention a very demanding golf game.
