South West's Best
This is the most popular golf tour of the southwest of Ireland. The golf courses outlined are the premier selection and are best enjoyed with an 7 or 8 day tour. A shorter or longer golf tour can be easily arranged. The hotels we mention are ones we work with on a regular basis and are 3-4 star in quality. Hotels can be substituted for  fine guesthouses or other accommodations. Breakfast is included with accommodation.

This golf tour is best experienced with a host driver as the roads are quite remote and the last thing a golfer wants when teeing off is to be cooling off after a stressful drive. For those of you with smaller groups of travelers, why not consider joining one of our escorted tours. We have one of these tours during June, July, August and September. You will be able to participate in a group of 12 or more who are all in Ireland to meet new friends, play golf and enjoy the many 19th holes in the local towns and villages.

Flights into Shannon Airport are advised for this tour. Carriers from the US to Shannon include: Delta Airlines, US Airways, Air Lingus (American Airlines) and Continental Airlines.
