Top tips for Golfing Holidays in Ireland

So you have booked hotel accommodation in Meath or other parts of Ireland and are ready for the golfing holiday of a lifetime. The problem is, you have never been to the Emerald Isle and have no idea how to properly prepare for the trip. Don't worry; we have compiled a list of helpful tips to assist you in gathering everything you need for your trip.
• Where to stay:
If golf is you main focus for the trip, then a top spa and golf resort would be your best option. A day on the course is available to you whenever the mood strikes and a pampering massage will ensure that your muscles are taken care of once you are done.
• Taking the right equipment:
The top golf courses in Ireland offer a real challenge for the aspiring golfer. For this reason, you will need to have your full set of clubs with you. Should you be unable to travel with your set, there are a number of services that allow you to rent clubs during your stay, and this can be arranged online before you arrive. Motorised golf carts are also uncommon on a lot of the courses, so be sure to pack in your most comfortable golf shoes.
• Accessories and attire:
Weather in Ireland is unpredictable, so it is always a good idea to have warm clothing, waterproofs and an umbrella. The strong sea winds can become problematic on some courses, especially during wet weather. Soft studs are also required at many of the courses, but these can be easily obtained at the Pro Shop at the course you are playing on.
• How much will it cost for a round?
Playing a round of golf at a decent course can cost anywhere from 90 Euros upward, depending on the season. The conditions are best for golf between April and October, so expect prices to be slightly higher. Ireland is also home to a vast number of Links courses, which shows the quality available in the country.
Golfing in Ireland is not restricted to certain times of the year, so you can plan a holiday for whenever it suits you. The country is also packed with sensational scenery and a variety of interesting historical sites, including majestic castles from days past. Book your hotel accommodation in Meath or other rural towns to enjoy it all in one place!
