Ireland Golf Courses Map

Although their counterparts across the Irish Sea may be The Home of Golf, the game is almost as ubiquitous on the Emerald Isle. Ireland is home to approximately 500 golf courses, all of which are found within an area slightly smaller than the state of Indiana. That’s still a lot of terrain to cover on Ireland golf tours.

Where are the best golf courses in Ireland located?

The best golf courses in Ireland are mostly located within four regions:

• Northern Ireland and the North Coast
• Dublin
• Southwest Ireland
• Northwest Ireland

Even within these regions, however, the courses in Ireland are more spread out than they are in Scotland. This makes a multi-region itinerary more of a challenge within a single week. The combination of Dublin and Northern Ireland being the notable exception.
