Golf in South West Ireland

Ireland's golfing gems are divided relatively evenly around its coastline and in its verdant heartlands, but the south west, including the famed Killarney area, stakes a good claim to possessing the most concentrated batch of first class championship venues.

The array of possibilities in the south west is enough for a lifetime of golf tours, but just a few of the established favourites are Ballybunion, Waterville, Tralee, Adare Manor, Killarney and Dooks. This should be enough to have most golfers drooling at the thought, so why not make the dream a reality and experience some of the mind blowing treasures on a golf tour in south west Ireland.
