Informally, Ireland’s competitive golf season always gets underway at Rosses Point.
You may know it as County Sligo Golf Club.
That’s where top amateurs will compete for the 2025 West of Ireland Open from April 18-22.
The victor will join Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry on the winner list.
And you can retrace their footsteps at Sligo’s Colt Championship Links on this lesser-known golf tour.
Seapoint Golf Links only opened in 1993.
But its acclaimed Championship Course is already a premier tournament destination.
Recently, the club hosted the 2023 and 2024 OFX Irish Legends.
Next, Seapoint stages the 2025 Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Championship, from May 8-11.
Previous venues for this prestigious event include Portmarnock Golf Club and Royal Dublin Golf Club.
Incidentally, you can play both – and Seapoint – on a getaway to Ireland’s East Coast.
You could hardly pick a more fitting venue for the Legends Tour than Mount Juliet Estate.
For starters, a living legend designed its lush, rolling championship course.
Jack Nicklaus unveiled his creation in 1991.
Then, between 1993 and 1995, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer and Sam Torrence each won the Irish Open at Mount Juliet.
Later, at the 2002 American Express Championship, Tiger Woods tasted glory on Ireland’s top parkland.
More immortals are set to arrive in 2025.
Specifically, the always entertaining OFX Irish Legends, from May 15-17.
Expect a decorated field in County Kilkenny.
You’ll find the near-mythical Baltray on the same sublime terrain as Seapoint.
For the purists, the championship links at County Louth Golf Club is Ireland’s ultimate hidden gem course.
It’s also the home of the 2025 East of Ireland Amateur Open.
The illustrious stroke-play tournament (won by Darren Clarke in 1989) runs from May 30 -June 1.
Fun fact: Shane Lowry bagged the 2009 Irish Open at Baltray.
After attracting a record-breaking 37,000 fans last year, the KPMG Women’s Irish Open returns to Carton House, Fairmont in 2025.
Once again, Ireland’s blue-ribbon ladies’ golf tournament will unfold at the pristine O’Meara Course.
Certainly, this year’s Women’s Irish Open (July 3-6) has much to live up to.
Annabel Dimmock needed nerves of steel to overcome Pauline Roussin-Bouchard in a heart-stopping playoff and seal the 2024 event.
Instant classic.
Whoever triumphs at Carton House can take the winning feeling to the AIG Women’s British Open at Royal Porthcawl.
Welcome to the main event of the 2025 golf tournaments in Ireland.
This year, all roads lead to The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush.
You probably still remember the last battle for the Claret Jug on the legendary Dunluce Links.
In 2019, Shane Lowry entered Irish sporting folklore when he clinched the world’s oldest major with a stunning performance.
Rest assured, the party proved equally epic
From July 17-20, The Open returns to Northern Ireland for just the third time.
Can Lowry bottle lightning twice?
Or will defending champion Xander Schauffele repeat his antics from Royal Troon?
Pure box office.
The South of Ireland Amateur Open dates back to 1895.
In 2025, as it has for all but 5 years since then, the Championship will be played at Lahinch Golf Club.
Elite up-and-comers will flock to County Clare to contest this year’s ‘South’ from July 23-27.
They have the chance to join Paul McGinley and Graeme McDowell on the storied roll of honour.
Then, the team at Lahinch will continue their preparations for hosting the 2026 Walker Cup.
Exciting times in the sparkling Southwest.
It’ll be tough to top last year’s Irish Open.
Sure, it ended in heartbreak for the prodigal son.
But Rasmus Hojgaard’s epic 1-shot victory over Rory McIlroy at Royal County Down ranks among the highlights of the 2024 European Tour.
Interestingly, Rory won the 2016 equivalent at this year’s world-famous venue.
The K Club – at the Palmer North – will host the 2025 Amgen Irish Open from September 4–7.
Notably, the championship parkland course also staged the 2006 Ryder Cup.
And it will welcome the Irish Open again in 2027.
Meanwhile, The Island Golf Club is the current frontrunner for 2026.
Of all Ireland’s golf tournaments in 2025, this one will likely deliver the most thrilling start.
Both for competitors and spectators.
The North of Ireland Open returns to Portstewart Golf Club from September 18-20.
And its Strand Course boasts arguably the greatest opening hole in the game
From an elevated tee, it plunges downhill and doglegs right to the heaving Atlantic.
Tubber Patrick sets the stage for a remarkable round through the dunescape called Thirsty Hollow.
Needless to say, Portstewart is a must-play on any golf trip to Northern Ireland.
