Where to stay for a Golfing Weekend in Ireland?

Ireland is not short of accommodation options for the perfect Golf Staycation. You can literally stay anywhere and be guaranteed a friendly welcome and tremendous golf. A few of our more popular regions include:

Dublin and the South East

Since the Vikings founded a trade colony here in Ireland in the ninth century, Vivacious, vibrant Dublin has turned its face to the world. Today, it is a thriving metropolitan capital and a growing international tourist destination, as well as a European national capital with a corresponding cultural infrastructure. Come here to enjoy a clear command of the English language, a decidedly contemporary spirit, and a developing cosmopolitan feel. Most visitors flock to Temple Bar, with its slender cobblestone streets and swarm of tourist attractions; however, don’t overlook the city’s formalist Georgian squares and verandas, its transforming docklands – and the delicate seaside sweep of Dublin Bay, with its harbours, cliff strolls, vast skies, and fresh air.

Golfers on Dublin & East Coast Tours can include a stay at The Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links. Only 15 minutes from Dublin Airport and 30 minutes the lively centre.

The building was the former home of the Jameson whiskey clan, but it is now a contemporary luxury hotel with its own championship links built by Bernhard Langer. Portmarnock Golf Club, one of Ireland’s oldest and most famous clubs.

Within an hour’s drive of the Portmarnock Hotel, golfers may enjoy the best of Ireland’s East Coast courses, including the Irish Open destination County Louth (Baltray), Seapoint Links, The Island, Royal Dublin, Killeen Castle, The European Club, The K Club, Carton House, and Druids Glen.

The Wild Atlantic Way

South West Ireland is a section of the Wild Atlantic Way, which runs from West Cork to Donegal.

The courses in this area require little introduction; Ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville, Tralee, and Old Head are among the best in the world. Because of their beauty, isolation, and mystical raw nature, they have recently attracted some of the biggest names in golf, including Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara.

We highly recommend staying at Vaughan Lodge. The Vaughan Lodge Hotel is run by the Vaughan family, who have been running hotels in Lahinch for four generations.
