A visit to the south-west of Ireland via Dublin offers one of the most complete golfing experiences anywhere in the world – storied links courses, from Portmarnock to Ballybunion, are coupled with timeless Irish hospitality, dramatic natural wonders and ancient folklore. Dublin provides a natural gateway for adventure; rich in history and home to courses carved out of the sand dunes of Ireland’s rugged coastline. Meanwhile, the south-west coast has magnetic appeal, housing wild landscapes, dramatic coastal roads, and golf courses that rank consistently among the world’s best.
