Ireland Golf Tours

Are you an avid golfer, hate to miss your weekend tee time, but your better half is dying to travel to Europe?

Then we have your solution, leave for Ireland tomorrow and take your clubs with you. An Ireland Golf Tour allows you to visit sights and views that are unbelievable.

Ireland is arguably one of the world’s most beautiful vacation destinations. Rolling hills, Mountain streams, buildings and Townships that are centuries old.

Imagine the sight of dew filled fairways glistening in the morning sun and your there with your friends and your golf clubs.

Take your time and research which golf courses you would want to play. All have different amenities so you can pick exactly what you are looking for.

The Balbriggan Golf Course is located 20 miles north of Dublin. It was originally a 9-hole golf course but has been expanded to 18 holes now.

It offers scenic views and even though there is not to much water to contend with it still offers the challenge most golfers are looking for. The social calendar, club, and restaurant are beyond compare.

Beech Park Golf Club is another fine destination with great reviews on their 18-hole golf course and amenities.

Eddie Hackett the designer of Enniscrone, Malahide and the Links at Waterville & Killarney designed it. The golf course offers a 18 hole Parkland Course with a newly renovated club house for that 19th hole.

If you are looking for a smaller city than Dublin, try Cork. Cork is located in the Southwest Region of Ireland. With its picturesque coastlines and surrounding Townships, Cork is truly one spectacular place.

The Cork Golf Club is known as one of the finest inland courses. Playable year round it has hosted many Professional as well as Amateur Championships. The Golf Club and Course was founded in 1888 so it has a lot of history behind it.

Located only 5 miles from Cork City, this golf course is one of the more beautiful courses in all of Ireland and is challenging for players of all skill levels.

East Cork Golf Club is not as old as the Cork Golf Club but it offers more of the World Famous beauty that is Ireland. It is located three miles north of Middleton.

It was converted into a golf course from what used to be a dairy farm and is located between to rivers making for a spectacular Parkland setting. It is another 18-hole golf course that provides a challenge for players of all skill levels.

Harbor Point Golf Club is another example of the quality of the golf courses in Ireland. Located on Little Island six miles from Cork City. The 9th and 18th holes overlook Lough Maher.

The large undulating greens and densely tree-lined fairway on this 18-hole golf course make for a challenging afternoon.

Mallow Golf Club is the prefect choice for those who want the rural look of a course and the view of majestic mountain ranges.

The course is a tree lined Parkland course that was redesigned to make a more challenging course without making it unplayable for the non-professional player.

There are hundreds of Golf Courses located throughout Ireland. Many are built on rolling foothills making for the most of a relaxing vacation.

Strolling through one of the World oldest civilizations, walking upon the land that Legends fought for and songs were written about would make for the perfect Golf vacation.

The courses that were designed by Eddie Hackett have been described as being cut out of the ground with Gods own sword. There are other famous course designers that have spent the time to make Ireland one great place to golf.

When you think about land like Ireland its not hard to envision spectacular courses built to up your game. Give it a try and enjoy your vacation.

I just got a job as a greens-keeper on a small rural 9 hole golf course.?

My major job responsibility is to keep the greens as nice as possible. We have old equipment and the greens mower tends to leave small globs of grease every now and then on the greens. Other then replacing the area’s with plugs from our practice green is there any other tip anyone can give me to breakdown the grease? Will a mixture of of water and dish liquid work? Any help would be appreciated.

can you rig something under the mower (away from blades of course) that catches the grease? detachable so you only need to slip it on when you get to the green

otherwise, put some of the grease on a rag and experiment.
Grease will move easier in warm water.

Another thing to try is Peanut Butter (PB). The natural oils in the PB may remove the drease – PB works on other things on clothing

What is a great and CHEAP 9 hole golf course in or around Pittsburgh to play?

My fiancee and I are fairly new to the game and want to play more golf, but greens fees are killing us. Paying 25 a piece everytime to go out when we stink just doesn’t make the game fun. Can anyone recommend a cheaper course that is in fair condition? Thanks in advance!!!!!

I am putting on a charity golf tournament and am looking for hole contests that work well in scrambles?

This is an 18 hole golf course that I need to come up with a different contest on each hole. I have been asked to not use the same premise more than twice. So longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin are going to be 6 of the holes. I am also going to do closest to marker in fairway. I just need some more ideas. Thanks is advance.

Closest to pin on Par 3. Longest drive in the fairway. Longest put. Hope these ideas help

What ever happened to Candystand’s online golf game? Are there any other free online mulitplayer golf games?

Do you guys know which game I’m talking about? It’s the one on Candystand where you could play with 3 other players over the internet, and it was a full 18-hole golf course. It was freakin fun, and it was free, but for some reason I can only find a couple of links to the game that no longer work? Does anyone know if this game is still up and running anywhere, or if there are any other online mulitplayer free golf games? (And I don’t mean putt-putt or minigolf.)
