Ireland Golf Vacations - top tips for your dream Ireland Golf
Vacation
by: Gary Hill
Live your golfing dreams on an Ireland golf vacation.
The K Club, Ballybunion, Lahinch, Doonbeg, Druids Glen… the
names of the courses may not trip off the tongue quite as easily
as those of their Scottish cousins but the quality is just as high.
An Ireland golf vacation will introduce you to some of the grandest,
most charming, most testing and most mystical golf courses in the
world. You’ll return home with your putter coated in magic
and with memories to fill after dinner tales for decades to come.
An Ireland golf vacation is special – unique even –
don’t miss the chance to come.
There is no finer place to play golf in the whole world than in
Ireland. You might yearn to feel the Atlantic breeze tugging at
your sweater as you wend your way between the high sand dunes on
a coastal links. Or you may prefer the lush and rich emerald green
of an inland pasture studded with silver bunkers and flower banks.
All of this and more is here for you if you care to venture on an
Ireland golf vacation.
Ireland has always created great golfers and recent Ryder Cup matches
have turned on the skills (and, perhaps, the legendary luck) of
the Irish. The next Ryder Cup will be played in Ireland and worldwide
interest in visiting this most welcoming of islands has never been
greater. The Ryder cup at the K club near Dublin promises to be
the best organised and most thrilling event on the golfing calendar.
For many visitors to Ireland or Scotland the chance to play on
an ancient seaside links course is a large part of the attraction.
But links golf does provide a unique experience and will test both
your stamina and your golf game in a way entirely unlike anything
you might have previously experienced. The wind has the remarkable
knack of always blowing in your face – no matter what direction
you’re facing.
Links courses rarely allow electronic golf buggies or golf carts.
Walking is the rule. This is partly to protect the courses and partly
because the terrain would make it impossible to drive a buggy safely.
Some of the larger more prestigious courses may have caddies available
and most will allow you to pull a simple club carrying golf cart
or trolley.
One of the joys of an Ireland golf vacation is that even the grandest
of the courses and clubs will welcome visitors. Book ahead to ensure
a tee time and visit the website of the club ahead of your visit.
Get a feel for local rules about dress and etiquette. Pick a lucky
shamrock, warm yourself with a drop of local whiskey and swing away
for the game of your life.
The world is full of golf courses but there is no country can boast
as many shining jewels as Ireland. An Ireland golf vacation can
make your golfing dream a reality. Grab you clubs and bag –
lets go today.
