Q: What is the best time of year for a golf vacation in Ireland?

May through September is the best period for a golf vacation in Ireland. June and July offer up to 17 hours of daylight. September courses are firm and fast with quieter fairways. Old Head is seasonal April to October. Lahinch, Ballybunion, and Tralee are playable year round.

Golf Tours Ireland has been creating luxury golf tours and private chauffeur golf vacations in Ireland for over 20 years. We arrange everything from the moment you land at Shannon Airport — tee times at the finest links courses in the southwest, your own professional Irish driver and Mercedes, five-star hotels, and a fully customised golf itinerary built around what your group wants from the trip. Every package is tailored to your group’s budget — from superb value 4-star itineraries to 5-star castle estates, we build the right trip for you.

Every Irish golf vacation package we create includes a professional Irish driver and private luxury Mercedes for the full duration of your stay. Vehicles available: Luxury Mercedes V-Class (up to 4 golfers), Luxury Mercedes Sprinter (up to 12 golfers), Luxury Mini Coach (up to 16 golfers).

For couples golf trips, ladies golf tours, family golf trips Ireland, and corporate groups, we arrange sightseeing for non-golfers too.

Southwest Ireland’s Finest Links Courses
