From Ballyliffin Lodge in the north overlooking Malin Head surrounded by two championship golf courses, and boasting luxurious accommodation that includes full sp facilities, big indoor pool, and fully equipped gymnasium, to Waterville House, a four star manor hotel situated in its own 40 acre estates overlooking the rugged, Atlantic coastline, also boasting conference facilities, sauna, , clay pigeon shooting ,fishing (in what is Irelands most famous sea trout and salmon fishery) in private lakes or even sea trips to the famous Skellig Rock, you could be forgiven if you wanted to spend months vacationing in this beautiful country.
Look at the choice available to you, each location that could tempt you to a week or two, not just for the golf – which is superb – but everything else surrounding the locality that is almost tailor-made to relieve the stresses of modern day living.
With 23 Links courses, and 17 Parkland courses of repute, finding the ideal golf venue to suit the golfer can be quite difficult, but as most of us take our partners on more than an overnight golf occasion, accommodation and other non-golfing activities really should be taken into account.
So with this in mind, I have also had a look at accommodation that is close to the major golfing centres right across Ireland. Now when I say accommodation, I am not talking about bare but homely farmhouses. No, I went on a search for accommodation that was literally dripping with other faculties for the non-golfer, and guess what? I found 6 castles (mostly in the South Western part of Ireland), 6 Country Houses (scattered evenly across the whole of Ireland), 8 superb hotels (also scattered evenly across Ireland), 9 top golf resorts (likewise scattered).
Now try as I might, I just have not had the vacation time yet to try many of these locations, so I have drawn up a list of them here for you to look at, and perhaps arrange your own vacation around one or more of them. At a later stage I will be putting together tried and tested combinations of these courses and accommodation.
Castles with Golf and many other facilities in Ireland:
ABBEYGLEN CASTLE
Sky Road, Clifden, Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland
ASHFORD CASTLE
Cong, Co. Mayo, Ireland
KINNITTY CASTLE
Kinnitty, Co.Offaly, Ireland
DROMOLAND CASTLE
Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare, Ireland
ADARE MANOR
Adare, Co. Limerick, Ireland
GLIN CASTLE
Glin, Co.Limerick, Ireland
To get further information on any of the castles, just pop their name into a Google search box on the Internet. You will be amazed at the levels of quality and features available to you. In fact, you may even think you were Royalty for the duration for your stay.
I was suitably impressed, and I am but just a commoner from England. If you are planning this trip from the States, then your ‘WOW’ factor may go into overload.
Enjoy your vacation, enjoy your golf, and above all, enjoy the peace and beauty that is Ireland.

Because golf is a family sport these days, everyone enjoys a holiday golf vacation in a place that has some nice golf courses. Florida is one place that everyone seems to head, but there are many other places to travel to for a good game of golf. Louisiana’s Tournament Players Club is a great course to play. The course is actually owned by the PGA, therefore, the experience is great for those who would like to play a real tour golf course. Only a short twelve miles from New Orleans, the golf course is a golfers dream come true.
This course does have some guidelines and some strict rules for playing the golf course, but that is why it is so popular. You cannot bring your own beverages or food, but the clubhouse has everything you could need to keep you energized to play all eighteen holes. The golfing shoes you wear cannot have metal spikes. They take pride in their course and keep it beautifully groomed for professional golf. You can wear alternation plastic spikes and have a great game. You do need to dress according to their enforced dress code, but it is still casual, just not sloppy.
Because the golf course is open all year, you will find that the rates are different for different months as well as for guests from out of town. You should always check with the pro shop to find out rates and schedule tee times. You can figure about four and a half hours to play the course with four people. After the game, you can sit down in the clubhouse for some drinks. Before you leave, you must try the Cajun fries and the TBC burger. If you like salads, the Cajun Cobb Salad is something your taste buds will love.
Plan your golfing vacation with friends and have a couple of great days of golfing in Louisiana. You really will find that the course is a challenge and you will see how the pros play when the PGA is in town. The golf course has a beautiful and exciting design that makes it a top rated place to enjoy a day of golf anytime of the year. One might even plan to visit a few other courses around the area on another day of golf. You can enjoy an entire vacation with golfing every day in Louisiana.
