THE SOUTH WEST
This is Ireland’s most complete golf itinerary
Unlike more remote routes, the south west offers a natural flow between world‑class courses, allowing golfers to experience iconic links without long travel times. Each course brings a different character — from the traditional challenge of Lahinch and Waterville to the dramatic landscape of Tralee and Old Head.
The influence of the Atlantic remains constant, shaping play through wind, terrain, and firm conditions. But here, the experience extends beyond the golf itself.

For many, this is where Irish golf reaches its most refined expression.
