Golf in Ireland With over 400 golf courses on our small Island, Ireland is truly a golfer’s paradise! Not only has Ireland a considerable number of golf courses which feature amongst the best and most famous courses in the world, no other country offers a uniquely special environment to play golf like Ireland. Perhaps the biggest appeal of golf in Ireland is the abundance of world class links and parkland courses in such close proximity. No other destination in the world offers the golfer the opportunity to play the best of both links and parkland courses.
A guide price to a caddie fee is Ireland is approximately:
v Senior Caddie €/£70 plus tip v Double Bag Caddie €/£100 plus tip v Forecaddie €/£100 plus tip
v Handicap certificates are not required at most courses. However, it is essential that all players are aware of proper golf course etiquette and have adequate golfing skills that don’t impede with other players on the course. v It is essential to wear suitable attire on all golf courses. Denim, collarless shirts, sports jerseys and sports shorts are strictly prohibited at all golf courses in Ireland. v Buggies/Carts are available to rent at most golf courses in Ireland. These should be pre-reserved as golf courses have a limited supply of buggies/carts. An increasing number of links courses in Ireland do not permit buggies/ carts due to damage caused to the courses and dangers from high dunes. Some links courses only permit buggies/ carts with a medical certificate outlining the players requirement for a buggy/cart.
We have several key tips in relation to playing golf in Ireland:
v Tee times should be reserved in advance of travelling to Ireland. At more famous courses, it is often necessary to reserve tee times up to 12 months in advance of your visit. v Golf shoes are compulsory on all courses. If your shoes have spikes, only soft spikes are permitted. v Caddies are available at most golf courses but must be booked in advance. With the exception of a small number of golf courses caddies are not compulsory. A good caddie will greatly enhance your experience especially when playing links courses where local course knowledge is essential.
