FAQ
Ireland Golf Trip Questions
What are the best links golf courses in Ireland?
The top links courses in Ireland include Royal County Down (#1 in the world), Ballybunion Old, Lahinch, Old Head of Kinsale, Waterville, Royal Portrush, and Doonbeg. A well-planned Irish golf trip typically covers 4–6 of these in 7–10 days.
When is the best time to play golf in Ireland?
May through September offers the best conditions in Ireland — long days, manageable winds, and lush fairways. June and July are peak season. Spring and autumn are quieter with softer light and fewer crowds, but be prepared for variable weather.
How many courses can I play on a 7-day Ireland golf trip?
A well-routed 7-day Ireland golf trip typically includes 5–6 rounds across a logical geographic route. Common combinations include the Wild Atlantic Way (Kerry, Clare, Galway), the East Coast (Dublin, County Wicklow), or a full Ireland tour. The DGE Journey Designer builds the optimal routing for you.
