GOLFING
The Sporting History
Golf in Ireland dates back to 1852 with the founding of the Royal Curragh Golf Club in County Kildare, one of the oldest in the world. By the late 1800s, clubs like Royal Belfast and Royal Dublin helped spread the sport, influenced by Scottish traditions. These early clubs laid the groundwork for golf’s popularity across the country.
In the 20th century, courses like Royal Portrush and Lahinch brought international recognition. Irish golfers such as Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy elevated the country’s reputation in the sport. Today, Ireland is a leading golf destination, known for its stunning courses and passionate golfing culture.

Lahinch Golf Club
Listed as one of the top 100 golf courses in the world, the old Tom Morris’ 1893 design, coupled with Alister MacKenzie’s 1927 enhancements, including the 9th green, and Martin Hawtree’s 2003 push into the big dunes, delivers an irresistible combination of beauty, challenge and fun. The course is a poster child for Irish tourism, what with its tumbling dunes and the Cliffs of Moher just to the north. Amazingly, the golf is every bit as good as its setting, headlined by a sterling set of two-shot holes that fall across the land in every conceivable manner. https://lahinchgolf.com/ – 47km from Ardboula House.
