southwest ireland links
Five nights, five legendary links courses along Ireland's rugged Atlantic coast
This is a trip built entirely around the golf — five of Ireland's most storied links courses, played on consecutive days, with two distinct bases along the way. The pace is unhurried off the course: mornings on some of the most dramatic terrain in the game, afternoons and evenings to enjoy where you're staying. Every element here — courses, hotels, pace, length — is built to be adjusted around you.
