Ireland Links guide
Why Links golf matters in Ireland
Links golf is one of the main reasons golfers travel to Ireland. True Links courses are rare globally, with commonly cited estimates putting the worldwide total below 250. Ireland has roughly 50 Links courses across the island, giving it one of the strongest concentrations of Links golf anywhere in the world.
Irish Links golf is built around coastal terrain, natural dunes, firm ground, changing wind and a style of play that can feel very different from inland parkland golf. For many visiting golfers, a trip to Ireland is built around at least one Links round.
