Each region also contributes to the island’s reputation as a superb golfing destination, from the championship courses of the east coast and midlands, the Atlantic views of the north and northwest to the postcard-perfect settings of the southwest.
The Emerald Isle is a perfect golf setting for everything from leisurely games with friends, right up to the challenge of a world-class championship course.
