Here are answers to the most common questions about Ireland golf trips. If you need more information or are ready to plan your vacation, contact an IGT travel expert here.
May to September offers the warmest weather, longest daylight hours, and best playing conditions for Ireland golf trips.
However, the shoulder seasons (April and October) are increasingly popular. Yes, the air is a little crisper. But the crowds are smaller, the vibe is less hectic, and there’s more availability for the top courses and hotels.
Planning early offers the best chance of securing your preferred courses, particularly icons like Ballybunion, Royal County Down and Portmarnock. Many golf clubs release visitor tee sheets a year ahead, so we recommend booking 12-18 months in advance.
Especially if you intend to travel in 2027 or 2028. The knock-on effect of Ireland hosting global events, such as The Open, Walker Cup and Ryder Cup, is always a spike in demand for marquee venues.
IGT plans and delivers your entire group golf trip. This includes designing a tailored itinerary, booking tee times and accommodations, and arranging end-to-end transportation.
You’ll also be assigned a dedicated logistics expert, who provides 24/7 support and ensures your visit to Ireland runs as smoothly as a championship green!
We can also recommend and help organise the following extras:
The weather in Ireland can be as wild and unpredictable as the golf courses! You often experience bracing wind, heavy rain and glorious sunshine – in the same day!
So you should hope for the best and pack for the worst. We recommend:
If you’re travelling from the U.S. or Canada, Dublin Airport offers the widest range of flights, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Toronto.
Alternatively, on the west coast, Shannon Airport operates direct routes to and from New York, Boston and Chicago.
Wherever you arrive, our dedicated driver will be waiting to greet you.
You do not need a visitor visa to land in the Republic of Ireland if you are a citizen of Canada or the United States.
Visitors to Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to travel to the country.
It costs £16, takes three working days to process, and you can apply online or through the official UK ETA app. Learn more here.
