Discover golf in Ireland: hidden gems, world-famous courses and spectacular landscapes

If you’re an avid golfer or know of someone who is looking to experience the golf vacation of dreams, playing on both inland gems with stunning landscapes and the world’s greatest links courses, you will know that the British Isles offers a plethora of courses that tick all the boxes.

Ireland is one of the world’s premier golfing destinations and home to the most beautiful courses, including the voted World No.1 golf course, Royal County Down, and Royal Portrush, which is set to host the 153rd British Open in 2025. Fancy immersing yourself in the golfing world of Ireland, with an experience like no other?

With guaranteed rounds on spectacular courses, accommodation in the finest hotels, daily transfers, lunches and other features, The Experience St Andrews are here to curate the golf vacation of your dreams.

The Experience St Andrews are proud to offer three bespoke programs in Ireland: the Northern Ireland Tour, the Northern Ireland & Dublin Tour, and the Southwest Ireland Tour. Each includes seven night’s stay & six rounds of golf, playing on some of the most beautiful courses.

Think of Adare Manor, soon to be home of the 2027 Ryder Cup, Waterville which offers hair-raising views, the euphoric Old Head course, or other stunning yet unforgiving hidden gems like Dooks, Lahinch or Portmarnock, all of which provide a variety of punishing bunkers and unforgettable golf holes.
