holiday to 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.
Irish golf has a special place in the
heritage of the game, producing great players like Christy
O’ Connor Senior, Fred Daly, Padraig Harrington and Paul
McGinley. By playing an Irish championship course, you can
play the same courses that helped shape these champions –
and the same ones that gave golf’s international superstars
some of their proudest moments.
There are almost 400 golf clubs affiliated to the Golfing
Union of Ireland – your only difficulty should be deciding
where to start.
On September 22-24, 2006,
The 36th edition
of the biennial match between Europe and the United States
will unfold on the Palmer Course at
The K Club in Straffan
some 18 miles from the city centre of Dublin.

the world for the quality of its golf courses,
Ireland is without equal as a golfing
destination. Courses such as Ballybunion,
Portmarnock and Royal County Down may be the
first that roll off most tongues in terms of
Irish golf but it is the depth of quality
courses, both links and parkland, which makes
Ireland different.

below and check out all the top Irish courses.
South West Home to classics such as Ballybunion and
Waterville; gems like Dooks; and the
inland tests of Killarney.
West & North West A haven for world-class links, why
courses like Ballyliffin and Carne
remain relatively unknown is a mystery.
North East You’ll find the links of Portrush and
Royal County Down alongside inland tests
like Malone and Royal Belfast.
East Courses such as the K Club, Portmarnock
and Baltray assure the renown of the
east coast in golfing terms.

and Mount Juliet, while Rosslare makes
for a great links challenge.
Central Ireland Often overlooked as a destination, the
courses of Mullingar, Slieve Russell and
Esker Hills contradict this notion.
