Before you go...
> To ensure a successful and enjoyable trip, it is advisable to book
well in advance. It is not unusual for visiting golfers to book 12
months in advance.
> The main season runs from April to October but golf can be played all
year round, weather and course conditions permitting. September is the
busiest month and July is the quietest month for golf vacations.
> Always plan and book golf tee times before finalising accommodation
and transportation reservations.
> When planning your trip use our map and driving time grid on pages
13/14 to assist you, as driving time is more important than distance in
Ireland.
> There are more tee times available on the weekdays than the weekends.
> Plan for realistic numbers when seeking suitable tee times.
> If hiring a vehicle, always ensure it is large enough to carry golf
clubs and luggage. Our recommendation is a space wagon or people carrier
for 4 golfers.
> A chauffeur driven coach is a good option for groups of 8 or more.
Your chauffeur will coordinate your travel plans and daily activities,
ensuring comfort and relaxation during your stay.
> Do request caddies in advance. Most senior caddies will carry two
bags (double). It is advisable to take a least one caddy per fourball.
> While Ireland's summer climate is temperate and pleasant, it is
advisable to bring wet gear and also pack a few sweaters for the evenings.
> Always take out travel insurance.
> For advise on any of the above contact your tour operator or SWING.
