Links Golf Ireland - About Us

Links Golf Ireland is a family run business run by husband and wife team - Garreth (Gar) Cooke & Valerie Cooke and has offices in Dublin and Shannon, Ireland. Together with the LGI Team - Dermot Buckley, Jeff Fallon, Fergus Costello and Peter Moloney we plan every step of your Ireland Golf Vacation. If you are considering a golf trip to Ireland then look no further.

After spending several years living in the United States and Ireland we decided to put our minds to a business that would allow us to finally "love what we do". Gar is the native and Valerie was transplanted from Boston after many years of persuasion. Being self confessed golf addicts with expert knowledge of the golf travel industry in Ireland made the transition from corporate America very easy. We have played at many of the top courses in the world and understand the requirements of the golf traveler.

Ireland has over one third of the world’s links golf courses. In fact, there are a little over 400 golf courses here in Ireland! We’ve carefully selected what we believe to be the best Irish golf courses for you to plan your golf tour in Ireland. The golf industry in Ireland has never been hotter. Recently Ireland was awarded the best worldwide destination for golf by the members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). The Ryder Cup was played out at the K Club in 2006! In 2007 the Walker Cup will be played at Royal County Down.

Ireland is referred to by many in the US and Europe as the Emerald Isle. Our parent company name (Emerald Elite Ltd) is derived from the old saying and we strive to be considered the elite tour operator in Ireland. Our business is all about creating everlasting golfing memories. Enquire Now and start planning your golf tour in Ireland.
