Planning Your Trip
What is the best time of year to play golf in Ireland?
May, June, and September are widely considered the prime months for Irish golf vacations — long daylight, generally favourable weather, and full course conditioning. July and August are excellent too, though prime tee times at top championship courses (Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Ballybunion) need 12+ months’ notice for any peak times. Demand has never been higher for golf in Ireland, so the sooner you plan the better. April, October, and even early November offer outstanding value and quieter courses for groups happy to play through occasional weather.
How far in advance should I book my Irish golf tour?
For peak-season (May–September) tours featuring Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Lahinch or other big ticket courses, we recommend 12–18 months’ lead time. For shoulder-season tours or itineraries focused on slightly less restricted courses (Tralee, Waterville, County Sligo, Doonbeg), 6–9 months is typically sufficient. Last-minute enquiries are also workable — we have privileged access that often delivers tee times others can’t. A simple rule – Plan early to avoid disappointment.
Can you arrange tee times at Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, and other top championship courses?
Yes. G Golf Ireland has direct relationships with every championship course on the island, including Royal County Down, Royal Portrush (Dunluce), Lahinch, Ballybunion, Portmarnock, Doonbeg, Tralee, Waterville, and County Sligo. We routinely secure tee times that aren’t always available through general booking channels. Restricted-access clubs like The Island, Brittas Bay and others are also handled directly.
Pricing and What is Included
How much does a luxury golf tour of Ireland with G Golf Ireland cost?
Bespoke G Golf Ireland tours typically range from $4,000 to $10,000+ per golfer for 5–7 night itineraries, depending on courses, accommodation level, and group size. The figure reflects championship green fees (Royal County Down, Lahinch, Royal Portrush) plus 5-star accommodation, private chauffeur transfers, on-course concierge, and 24/7 support. We provide a free consultation and quotation with no obligation to book. We will work within your budget and price accordingly.
What is included in a G Golf Ireland tour?
Every bespoke tour includes pre-booked tee times at your chosen courses, caddies arranged at every venue, private chauffeur-driven transfers throughout (Luxury Sprinter or executive saloon for smaller groups), 4- or 5-star accommodation, dining reservations, on-course concierge support, and 24/7 contact with our team during your stay. We also handle club hire, weather contingency planning, and any special requests — Trackman sessions, helicopter transfers between regions, distillery tours, falconry, you name it. From landing to departure, we’ve got you covered.
Groups and Travellers
Do you organise corporate or group bookings for 8+ golfers?
Yes — corporate groups and larger private parties (8 to 32 golfers) are a significant part of what we do. For groups of 16+, we typically split into smaller tee-time pairings to keep pace and create a competitive structure. We can also arrange private dining for the full party each evening, branded merchandise packages, and group competitions with prizes. We can manage any size group and every itinerary is entirely bespoke.
Can non-golfers come on the trip too?
Absolutely. We arrange parallel experiences for non-golfing partners and family members — Wild Atlantic Way coastal tours, distillery visits, equestrian experiences, falconry, spa days, and cultural or culinary tours. You simply need to tell us what you want. We’ll listen and build your dream itinerary.
