RSSIreland at present has an international reputation as the 'Golf Mecca of Europe'. It's that sense of anticipation that makes your visit to a Golfing Ireland course so special.
Ireland's climate allows for year round golf, but with the arrival of spring growth and more heat in the air golfers tend to enjoy their sport more regularly, April through to October.
The championship standard layouts, the European Tour venues, the world reowned architectural credits, the welcome, the top class facilities- all combine to give you the golfing experience of a lifetime.
The Golfing Ireland golf clubs are a superb collection of all that's best in Irish golf. Golf has become our single biggest sporting holiday attraction with 204,000 overseas golfing visitors.
Five major tournaments are held in Ireland - the Murphy's Irish Open, the Smurfit European Open, the AIB Seniors Open, the West of Ireland Classic and the Donegal Irish Ladies Open.
This global coverage by Eurosport, the Golf Channel, Sky Sports and the cable TV networks has created an unprecedented level of interest in, and demand for Irish golf.
By the year 2005 the number of international visitors who will travel to Ireland specifically to play golf is expected to have risen to 450,000, more than double the current figure.
