About Golf in Ireland
Ireland has established itself internationally as a major golf destination, particularly in recent years
with the hosting of major competitions such as the American Express World Championships in 2002
and the Ryder Cup in 2006.
 Ireland is best known for its wonderful links courses - and possesses almost 40% of the world's
genuine links. Some Irish links courses have been around for over a hundred years, while others are
modern developments created to fit the landscape from which they are carved. Some are
internationally renowned, while others - the 'hidden gems' - are waiting to be discovered.
But Ireland also has a range parkland courses which offer a supreme test of skills. They are courses
very much in tune with nature, yet designed to make the golfer use every club in the bag.

Ireland offers more golf than any country of comparable size on the planet - golfer's heaven!
With no less than 402 golf courses spread throughout the island, golf is easily accessible to all. From
the experienced to the amateur golfer Ireland has courses to suit all handicaps. Home to more than
one-third of the world's true links courses, Ireland offers four distinct golfing regions which can be
explored individually or as part of a more extended itinerary. All around the island, world-famous
championship links courses rub shoulders with lesser-known yet spectacular hidden gems. What's
more, tee times can be booked easily and green fees are moderate (from $40 to $185 for signature
championship courses).

The following list highlights some of the 'must play' courses in each region:
Dublin area - Portmarnock, the European, the K Club (venue of the 2006 Ryder Cup)
Northern Ireland - Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Ardglass, Portstewart, Royal Belfast
The West - Ballyliffin, Carne, Enniscrone, Rosses Point/Sligo
The South West - Ballybunion, Doonbeg, Lahinch, Waterville, Old Head
The South East - Mount Juliet, Druids Glen

Shannon Princess:
No need to change hotels as your hotel floats from one golf course to another! Your group (of up to
10) will have this barge all to themselves as you are pampered by your own private chef and staff.

motorcoach sightseeing, cycling, horse-riding or even shopping.

King of the Castle

have an ancient Irish castle or elegant manor as your personal residence, with a full complement of
staff for those who are looking for privacy and personal service. Perfect for a large group or a family
reunion.

RYDER CUP (starring you)
We believe that one of golf's greatest benefits is the way it brings people together and builds
friendships. For larger groups we can arrange for you to meet some local golfers and play a round at
one of the country's smaller, intimate clubs. You will be treated like VIPs and make friendships that
will last a life-time.

that golfers are travelers too and wish to take full advantage of their journey to experience the

We offer a full range of activities and entertainment to complement your golf. Ask us about adding in
