Few places offer as much consistent beauty for golf than the green, rolling scenery of Ireland. Leave the planning and details to professionals and local experts at Premier Irish Golf Tours, who can set you up for play on some of the best courses in the country. A sample itinerary of the Southwest Golf Tour includes play at Galway Bay Golf Club, Lahinch Golf Club, Tralee Golf Club, Ballybunion Golf Club, Old Head and Waterville Golf Links. Guests enjoy seven nights of deluxe accommodations, six rounds of golf, a professional driver for the duration of the trip and daily Irish or continental breakfast. Upon arrival in Ireland, a director of tour operations, available throughout the trip to answer questions or provide other assistance, meets guests. The tour operator arranges details including caddies and tee times.

Prefer a more spirited expedition? Book the Golf and Whiskey Tour, and learn all about the tradition of a pre-game snifter of Uisce Beatha (fire water) to boost confidence and banish nerves — and why a hip flask was once the accessory of choice for local golfers. Along with play at Ballybunion, Tralee, Ceann Sibeal, Portmarnock and Killarney, tour participants will visit The Guinness Store House in Dublin, enjoy a drink in Killarney at Courtney’s well-stocked bar and take part in the Irish Whiskey Experience at pubs throughout Killarney. The golfer-owned and -operated company also offers the Ladies Only Golf Tour, with a stay at Dromoland Castle Resort and Adare Manor Resort. Ladies will play the course at both, and also at Lahinch and Doonbeg golf clubs. Downtime on this itinerary includes a trip to Dublin with a city tour and an excursion to the Cliffs of Moher and the Aillwee Caves.
