Extraordinary Ireland Golf Itinerary

With an extraordinary history stretching back to the 5th Century the Dromoland Castle 5 Star Hotel in Ireland was originally the ancestral home of one of the few families of Gaelic Royalty, the direct descendants of Brian Boru the High King of Ireland.

Approached by a meandering drive that passes acres of magnificent lawns this Irish luxury Castle Hotel overlooks its own Championship Golf Course and seamlessly blends Olde World elegance with contemporary luxury.

Ireland's most spectacular natural masterpiece and one of the most visited, the Cliffs of Moher can make you feel that you have reached the edge of the world. This is wild, breathtaking and epic scenery. The cliffs are sheer, with a stomach turning 700ft drop to the wild, booming Atlantic waves below.

Golf at Lahinch dates back to 1892. It is an enchanting place to play golf: rugged, distinctive, usually varied and immensely entertaining. Known as the St Andrews of Ireland; this is testing links golf at its very best, all within view of the beautiful beach of Liscannor Bay.

Welcome to Trump Ireland in Doonbeg one of the world's premier golf destinations. Set across more than 400 acres of Ireland's breathtaking Atlantic coastline, this award-winning resort has been honored as the #1 Resort in Europe by Condé Nast Traveler and recognized among the World's Best by Travel + Leisure, among many other accolades.

At the heart of the resort is a spectacular 18-hole championship links course, masterfully designed by Martin Hawtree.

The fantastic Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum is home to the world's only full-size replica of a B314 flying boat, giving you an insight into early passenger flights across the Atlantic Ocean. You can also learn about the history of the flying boats in an authentic 1940's cinema and see the original terminal building, radio and weather room. And of course, you must stop for an Irish Coffee, for it was here where the celebrated drink was invented.

For many people, Ballybunion conjures up a vivid image of a wild links golf course on the edge of the Atlantic with fairways set amongst the gigantic duneland. Herbert Warren Wind, the distinguished American golf author, described Ballybunion as 'nothing less than the finest seaside course I have ever seen'.

Situated on the rugged Atlantic coast of Ireland's south west, the links features towering dunes, undulating fairways, punishing rough and cliff top tees and greens.

Designed and built by Arnold Palmer, this stunning setting represents a true paradise for those willing to challenge what is widely acclaimed as one of the finest links courses in the world.

The Dingle Peninsula is a spit of land which thrusts out into the Atlantic to claim Ireland's most westerly point. In the shadow of sacred Mt Brandon, the peninsula is a maze of fuchsia-fringed boreens (country lanes), which weave together an ancient landscape of prehistoric ring forts and beehive huts, early Christian chapels, crosses and holy wells, picturesque hamlets and abandoned villages.

Waterville is rated among the top five courses in Ireland and in the top 20 links courses in the world. The course embarked on a new chapter of its fabled history when noted international golf architect Tom Fazio was commissioned to update the memorable Eddie Hackett masterpiece.

In the Golden Vale of County Tipperary, set on a limestone outcrop, the Rock of Cashel is a spectacular set of medieval buildings where the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick, converted the King of Munster to Christianity.

The Irish National Stud belongs to the people of Ireland but prides itself on being enjoyed and appreciated by visitors from all parts of the globe. Nowhere better symbolises all that is great about County Kildare, the beating heart of Ireland's thoroughbred industry, than the stud, a unique attraction of outstanding natural beauty that is home to some of the most magnificent horses and sumptuous gardens to be found anywhere in the world.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of 'The Velvet Strand', one of Ireland's most stunning stretches of uninterrupted coastline - the historic Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links, once the family home of the Jameson Dynasty awaits.

Portmarnock Links is an 18 hole course spread across 203 acres and is set on the grounds of the old Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks.

Split by the River Liffey, though joined together in 1816 by the Ha'penny Bridge, Ireland's largest city is surprisingly small, compact and very cosy.

While the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery are the city's most popular attractions, Dublin is also a city of high culture. The inspiration of literary and musical giants like James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Phil Lynott and Bono continue to infuse the city with infectious artistic talent, on display in every bar and street corner.

After breakfast and check-out, private transfer from the hotel to Dublin Airport.

End of services with unforgettable memories of your extraordinary Irish golf journey.
