A 10-NIGHT, 6 Rounds Irish golf cruise

You’ll begin your trip in Dublin, playing Portmarnock Links designed by Bernhard Langer. The course is set in the grounds of the old Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks and has been host to professional and amateur events including 2008 and 2009 Ladies Irish Open.

In Dublin, visit the National Museum of Ireland and St Patrick’s Cathedral which dates back to circa 1030. Dublin’s culinary scene along Exchequer Street is another favorite, as well as the Guinness Storehouse museum at the St. James’s Gate brewery.

You’ll play at Royal County Down located in the town of Newcastle to the south of Belfast. Consistently ranked in the top-10 courses in the world, this is a true gem set against the magnificent backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne. Host to the 2007 Walker Cup Match featuring a young local by the name of Rory McIlroy, and an all-star USA line-up.

Then tour the city and riverfront of Belfast with its exuberant Victorian and Edwardian buildings still sporting the carved heads of kings and queens.

Next up you’ll play at Royal Portrush in Belfast. Consistently ranked in the top 20 of the world's best courses, it holds the distinction of being the only course in Ireland to have hosted The Open, which it did in 1951. Royal Portrush returned to The Open rota in 2019 following a 70-year absence. The Dunluce Course is as fine a links as you will find anywhere, with the 5th being a particularly memorable hole to a green hanging on the edge of a cliff.

The city of Derry (or Londonderry) is the second largest in Northern Ireland behind the capital, Belfast. Said to have been founded in the 6th century by Saint Colmcille (or St. Columba), Derry was renamed Londonderry in 1613 upon the award of its Royal Charter by King James I. Through the siege of the walled city in 1689 to its key strategic role in World War II, Derry has been influential in the shaping of the world around it.

Next up is a day of play at Donegal Golf Club, which was originally designed by Eddie Hackett, a legend of Irish golf course architecture. The panoramic views and surrounding countryside are sensational and steeped in local and ancient history.

For sightseers, Donegal is also a nature lover’s paradise. Take a self-guided tour at the 15th century Donegal Castle, and visit the town square for shopping and dining options. A few miles north of town admire the majestic cliffs of Sliabh Liag and take a comfortable walk around the scenic and serene Lough Eske.

Start your day in the town hub of Eyre Square, a public park adjacent to a collection of shops and pubs where traditional Irish folk music provides the soundtrack during the afternoons and evenings. Visit the Galway Cathedral, a Roman Catholic church that features a mosaic of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

The Golf Course at Adare Manor was renovated by Tom Fazio in 2018 and will host the Ryder Cup in 2027. Each hole could be crowned the feature hole: providing a challenging, characterful, and profoundly satisfying playing experience for golfers of every level.

In the tiny village of Foynes visit the Flying Boat & Maritime Museum which features the only replica B-314 Flying Boat in the world, enjoy a panoramic view in the reinstated control tower and learn about the movie stars and celebrities who spent time here in the 1930s and 1940s.

Located on a 780-acre island in Cork Harbour, the Deerpark course was host venue to the PGA European Tour Irish Open in 2001 and 2002.

The quaint seaside town of Cobh (old Irish for cove) is an excellent spot to explore. Known for its great maritime heritage and seafaring history. You’ll see the brightly colored houses along streets that climb to the top of the hill which is crowned by the imposing Cobh Cathedral, St. Coleman's Cathedral with its carillon of 47 bells.
