Munster - Golf

Golfing enthusiasts visiting the Munster region, in southwest Ireland, will discover a myriad of championship golf courses that are among the world's best. At 24,000 square kilometres, Munster is Ireland's largest province so it's no surprise it boasts so many courses.

Shannon Golf Club will provide an excellent test of the golfer's ability and, because of its proximity to Shannon Airport, is an ideal starting or finishing point to any golfing holiday. This prestigious parkland championship course is bordered by the River Shannon. Water is a feature on a number of holes and strategically placed trees make accuracy hard to achieve. Visit their website for more information.

The East Clare Golf Club, in County Clare, is also an ideal starting or finishing point. Just 35 minutes from Shannon Airport, it's a par 71 championship course designed by noted golf architect Dr Arthur Spring. It offers several strategically placed and potentially hazardous lakes, streams, bunkers and trees. This course also (knowingly) supports a wide range of wildlife. Foxes can often be seen and swans live on the numerous lakes.

Ardfert Golf Club, in County Kerry, opened in 1994 and has quickly attracted its fair share of visitors. It has a flat but tricky parkland layout with natural hazards. Its limestone and sandy base allows play all year round.

Most of the accommodation available comes with modern luxuries such as a housekeeper (for an additional fee) or close to restaurants and amenities.
