SOUTH WEST IRELAND

South West Ireland

South West Ireland is part of the Wild Atlantic Way which stretches all the way from West Cork to Donegal.

The courses in this area need little introduction, Ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville, Tralee and Old Head are some of the highest rated golf courses in the world. The beauty, remoteness and magical raw nature mean that in recent times they have been attracting some of the biggest names in golf to play including the likes of Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara.

Our 7 night South West Ireland tour allows golfers to experience the beauty of these Atlantic links courses and enjoy the vibrant seaside towns of Lahinch, Killarney and Kinsale along the way.

Golfers will also visit the luxurious Adare Manor, which in 2017 went through a multi-million dollar re-development by owner JP McManus to become one of the leading golf resorts in the world. Adare Manor has since been rewarded with hosting the 2027 Ryder Cup matches, only the second time for this major event to take place on Ireland after the K Club in 2006.
