Thinking about a golf trip to Ireland?

With so many legendary links and captivating regions across the Emerald Isle, the options can feel overwhelming. That’s where three decades of H&B expertise makes all the difference.

While comparisons between Ireland and Scotland are common, Ireland offers a distinct experience. The island’s dramatic landscapes, top-ranked courses, and rich cultural traditions create something truly exceptional, especially when paired with the Good Life beyond the fairways.

When planning your Ireland golf trip, it’s helpful to think in terms of four key regions. At H&B, we believe it’s best to focus on one or two key regions. This allows for exceptional golf and meaningful travel, without unnecessary time on the road.

If you're just getting started, begin with our guide to planning a golf trip to Ireland, which outlines 12 key decisions to help shape your itinerary.

Northern Ireland Golf Packages

Why Golfers Choose this Region

Northern Ireland is home to two of the top-ranked links courses in the world:Royal County Down and Royal Portrush. They headline a region that’s become a favorite for private club members seeking elite golf and championship history.

Courses like Ardglass, Castlerock, and Portstewart add character and variety to the lineup, delivering stunning seaside views and authentic links experiences. All of which has made this region the most sought after destination for golf trips to Ireland.

Beyond the Fairways

Rich in culture and scenery, the region also offers standout experiences like the Bushmills Distillery, the Giant’s Causeway, and the vibrant city of Belfast. It’s this seamless pairing of Golf and the Good Life that makes Northern Ireland a cornerstone of many H&B itineraries.

"We really enjoyed the Northern Ireland experience - good variety of great golf courses and touring options. The day in Belfast was also great - good to be in a city with lots of food options and interesting history. Of course, the golf was fantastic for all the reasons!"

Custom Ireland Golf Trips to Dublin

Why Golfers Choose this Region

For travelers looking to combine championship links with vibrant city life, Dublin offers the best of both worlds. The region is anchored by standout courses including Portmarnock, Royal Dublin, and The Island—each offering classic links layouts within reach of the city center.

Complementing these headliners are under-the-radar spots like County Louth and the European Club. Together, they offer enough world-class golf to fill an entire Expedition, without ever needing to leave the Dublin area.

Beyond the Fairways

From world-class dining and historic pubs to iconic attractions like Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin adds depth and energy to every golf itinerary. And with countless direct flights to and from the U.S., it's the perfect place to start or end your Ireland golf trip.

"My first time to Ireland and I felt like I got to really experience it. One of the caddies at The Island told me that they can ask for who they wish to caddy for. When he sees an H&B group on the tee sheet, he always asks for it."

Southwest Ireland Golf Tours

Why Golfers Choose this Region

Southwest Ireland is often considered the heart of links golf in the country. With six courses ranked among the world’s top 100, it’s a region that consistently leads the way in golf trips to Ireland for private club members.

Each course delivers something remarkable. From the cliffside drama of Old Head to the classic links at Lahinch and Ballybunion, the golf is both visually stunning and deeply memorable. The addition of Adare Manor, future host of the Ryder Cup, only adds to the region’s prestige.

Beyond the Fairways

Although travel times between courses can be longer here than in other parts of Ireland, most travelers find the scenery and stops along the way well worth it. With coastal drives, ancient castles, five-star lodging, and acclaimed cuisine, Southwest Ireland offers everything that makes an H&B Expedition so rewarding.

"Our main purpose was to experience true Irish golf at its very best, so for me the quality of the courses we played was the highlight. One of the guys summed up the trip as we were walking down a fairway at Adare Manor on our first day in Ireland by saying, "My soul is smiling." That feeling only grew deeper with each passing day."

Northwest Ireland Golf Vacations

Why Golfers Choose this Region

Northwest Ireland is known for its rugged landscapes, dramatic dunes, and links courses that feel untouched by time. Once overlooked in favor of more familiar regions, this area is now earning its place in many Ireland golf tours, especially among travelers drawn to authenticity, a relaxed pace, and uncharted courses.

The arrival of St. Patrick’s Links at Rosapenna, now ranked among the world’s top 100, and the impressive redesign of Narin & Portnoo have brought new attention to the region. Carne, Enniscrone, County Sligo, and Donegal offer inspiring layouts in spectacular coastal settings, each one steeped in character and natural beauty.

Beyond the Fairways

While the region is less traveled than other parts of Ireland, that’s part of its charm. Off the course, visitors enjoy dramatic coastal scenery, the charm of towns like Ballina and Donegal, and local highlights such as the Crolly Distillery. For those seeking a different rhythm and a deeper connection to the land and its people, Northwest Ireland offers a distinct and rewarding chapter in any H&B itinerary.

"Golf courses were great and tee times all arranged perfectly. We loved Carne, County Sligo, and Enniscrone. Our driver was absolutely fantastic and played a key role in making sure all was perfect. The places we stayed - Lough Eske, Ice House, Doonbeg - were all outstanding."

“Use H&B...I repeat, use H&B! They are simply the best from their research, own experiences, and lessons learned. Plus, their staff are literally an extension of your group. Details are not overlooked and their suggestions (meals, sights, etc.) are spot on. Chris McConn in the planning and guiding phases was just...well, he was Chris McConn, just the best! Kudos to the whole H&B family!"

“Mike Walters was exceptional and a constant point of contact for me and willing to work on whatever was needed. He quickly acted when there were issues or challenges and graciously took my questions in stride. he was great to work with! From initial planning and coordination, to managing changes with participants and more changes required to the schedule due to availability of courses and hotels, to the ultimate trip itself which occurred as planned, scheduled and expected without issue."

Mike Lambert
Elgin Country Club

“Having H&B as our partner in the planning process was the best decision we made. Your experience and knowledge of what elevates a good trip to a GREAT trip came through every day of our journey. One of the guys summed up the trip on our first day in Ireland by saying, ‘My soul is smiling.’ That feeling only grew deeper with each passing day."

“Great customer service and attention to detail. The final marching orders were also nice to keep organized and to share with family. The selection of hotels were excellent and exceeded expectations. Itinerary of golf was also spectacular. Enjoy every minute! Definitely recommend using a driver for the trip. Made for less stress and much better overall experience of Ireland. Thanks to Whitney Hedrick for her assistance with our dinner reservations and recommendations for excursions.”

“Mike Walters did a great job working with our group again, even with obstacles and changes. Pay Leahy, our driver, was also fun. I think it took him a bit to figure us out, but he warmed to us and was helpful with changes and adjustments on the fly. Great itinerary, hotels and transportation. We really enjoyed the Northern Ireland experience - good variety of great golf courses and touring options for non golfers. The hotels were great and the restaurant recommendations were good.”

Susan Bain

“Chris has taken such good care of us over many trips now and makes it easy to put together a trip. I especially appreciate how he arranged tee times to allow us time to get up, have breakfast, drive to the course in time to warm up and play, without having to get up at the crack of dawn. We were treated with what I thought was a high degree of hospitality and welcome at Ballybunion and at Adare Manor. We really like playing certain courses twice as it allows a greater appreciation and memory of the course.”

Haversham Baker Ireland Golf Trip Reviews

“Our trip was fantastic. Well organized, great communication, good recommendations, and when we requested changes to dinner and car rental reservations during our trip the response was swift and professional. Conner Evers was our lead and took our initial call seriously and had great follow up. He continued to stay on top of things throughout. Shelby Turney was very helpful whenever I would call and responded quickly. Whitney Hedrick had great restaurant recommendations and was a pleasure to talk with. We are eager to plan our next trip!”

David Hooker

“I have traveled to 75 countries in my life. I have golfed many of the top 100 golf courses of the world. I just returned from a Haversham & Baker trip to Ireland. It was my number one favorite trip of my life. They arranged a first class trip including the most elegant hotels, top courses and delicious eating establishments. I’m truly impressed with their guidance, kindness, preparation and the price we paid was fair and commensurate with what we enjoyed.”

Judge Jonathan Colby

“Simply put if you are planning a golf trip there is only one company to use - Haversham & Baker. Connor Evers is a rockstar who had every detail of the trip planned out and executed on it all.”

Michael LeBlanc

“Excellent communication, planning, packing tips, and trip execution. Whitney Hedrick did a great job of assisting in trip planning and coordination. I am sure H&B scheduled sun and little wind at the end of the trip too! I have also used H&B before and will do so again in the future.”

“Everything was so smooth from the airport pickup to the airport drop-off. Hotels were fantastic, everything went off with out a hitch. Never felt like I was missing anything or that we were pressed for time. The part I enjoyed the most was not having to worry about anything. It was the best trip that I’ve ever been on. You guys knocked it out of the park.”

Michael Shanley

“My expectations were exceeded! I loved the entire trip – from beginning to end. I thought it was well planned out; the additional stops and activities were much appreciated, and the weather was great, too.”

Paulette LaRocca

“We felt the H&B name and reputation afforded the best of services and treatment by the hotel and golf course personnel. Working with the Concierge to secure reservations for dining and other services was easy and spot on. The Bat Phone personnel were excellent in coping with issues caused by our flight cancellation.”

Debby Pratt

“H&B made me look like a rock star to the group. Everything was first-class starting with Pat our driver, to the hotels, golf courses, and overall experience. Before the trip even ended, the guys were already asking where we’re going next!”

Bela Nagy, PGA
Sandridge Golf Club

Steve Erlichman

“We used Haversham & Baker to plan our trip and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The whole process of planning through execution of our trip was flawless. They truly know their stuff. Every little detail was thought of and taken care of. They are a first-class operation and if you are looking to do a similar trip to Ireland, Scotland or England for golf, they should definitely be your first call.”

Haversham & Baker Ireland Golf Trips Review

“It would be hard to improve. The courses were awesome, the weather was beyond incredible and John Daly would be hard to top. He did everything but tuck us in at night, and probably would have done that if asked.”

Tim Painter
Cape Cod National Golf Club
April 2022

“We had an amazing trip to Ireland. You all planned a perfect itinerary and everything was great. The restaurants were really good. John Daly was the perfect driver and really made the trip so easy and was always so helpful. On top of it all, we apparently had the best weather we could ask for in Ireland. Thanks again on behalf of our group and we are definitely going to use you all for our next one.”

Haversham & Baker Ireland Golf Tour Reviews

“I think the social part of Ireland is its best feature. The golf is great, but the after golf is the highlight for me. The relationship that I have with Haversham & Baker brings a trust factor where I know that I don’t have to worry about a thing. For me, this is just the gold standard.”

Nick Papadakes, PGA
Onwentsia Club

“The attention to detail was incredible. The three lodging choices were excellent and short travel time to the courses. Having made several trips to Scotland and Ireland using different golf travel companies I would rate Haversham & Baker as the top in all around service and experience.”

Dan Hermann
Evansville Country Club

“You might find a little better pricing, but you won’t find the attention to detail, service, and access that Haversham & Baker provides. A trip like this needs all of those to come together to be successful. It’s basically a turn-key trip for me.”

Aaron Krueger, PGA
Wakonda Club

Dan Hermann
Evansville Country Club

“You will never experience a trip like this in your lifetime. The experience with H&B is seamless and they arrange everything to your desired request. The flow of the golf courses from start to finish was spectacular and our driver, John Daly, was amazing!”

Kirk Rider, PGA
Bear Creek Golf Club

“This was our 70th birthday trip. The trip was over the top. The attention to detail was perfect. Adare Manor was our favorite. It was the best trip ever – thanks to Chris McConn for giving us the best birthday gift.”

John Pariseau
The Club at Cordillera

“It was truly a first class experience. All reservations were great, everything went as planned. There was time available to rest when needed, all I needed to do was golf, eat, drink, and relax! From a golfing standpoint, Old Head at Kinsale was just unbelievable – not perhaps the same quality golf as Ballybunion or Lahinch, but incredibly spectacular – it is a bucket list destination for sure.”

Glen Bitzenhofer
Coldstream Country Club

“Everything was great. H&B does a good job providing written descriptions, timing and plenty of details. Doonbeg and Old Head were fantastic places to golf and stay. The courses are amazing and the hotels and restaurants are first class.”

Derek Gentile
The Club at Wyndgate

“Our planner made the whole process exceptional. The knowledge, experience, advice and personality are great. Read the Field Manual and Final Marching Orders carefully. There is so much there of value. Many of the questions that came to me as captain were already answered.. people just overlooked or ignored those details.”

Dave Hampton
Pinehurst Country Club

“First let me say, this was an amazing trip. The courses and the accommodations were all top notch. the golf in Ireland is so much fun. I would say Royal County Down and Old Head were the highlights. As fun as it is, I would recommend taking a day off of golf for a day or two during the trip. Playing every day for two weeks gets a little tougher every time I go back.”

Mark Owen
The Canyon Club
