With the old Ardglass Castle as its club-house, the setting of Ardglass Golf Club is very impressive. This seaside course, founded in 1896, is situated on the south-east coast of County Down and is un-questionably one of the most spectacular courses in Ireland.

The Bushmills Inn is a traditional, luxury four star accommodation in the heart of northern Ireland’s causeway coast. From inglenook turf fires to hayloft snugs, there’s something to find behind every door. The original coach house and stables are thought to date back to 1608, the same year that the Bushmills distillery was granted the first ever license to distil whiskey. National Geographic Traveler called it one of the five best places to stay in Northern Ireland.

Castlerock Golf Club, situated on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, is a fabulous links course set among rolling sand dunes. Its scenic qualities embrace the river Bann flowing out to the Atlantic, and also eye-catching views of Donegal and on a clear day towards Scotland and the Isle of Islay.

These special tours with pre-set dates are planned around top-notch golf and opportunities to enjoy the countries with like-minded golfers and travelers. The tours allow golfers and their non-golfing friends, who are not part of a pre-set group, to enjoy a professionally planned tour.

The Island Golf Club was established in 1890 and it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, nestled amongst the lonely dunes at Malahide. Virtually eve-

ry hole requires some sort of cleverly imagined and executed shot, whether off the tee or into one of the brilliantly conceived greens. The aesthetic pleasures of the adjacent sea and the coastal village of Malahide provide constant memories.
