Southwest Ireland, Ireland

Set on a remote peninsula along Ireland’s southwest coast, Waterville Golf Links delivers one of the most inspiring experiences in world golf. Surrounded by the wild beauty of Ballinskelligs Bay, the course flows naturally through towering dunes and open stretches of linksland shaped by Atlantic winds. Every hole feels organic and timeless, offering a rare balance of challenge and serenity. Frequented by legends such as Payne Stewart, Waterville’s charm lies in its rhythm – a majestic journey where landscape and golf blend seamlessly. Few places capture the spirit of Irish links golf more completely than Waterville.

About

Curated Southwest Ireland Trips

One of Ireland’s marquee golfing destinations plays host to all-time classics, such as Ballybunion and Lahinch, with modern favourites, Old Head and Adare Manor, nearby. The area will be front and centre in the coming years, with Lahinch hosting the 2026 Walker Cup and Adare Manor the 2027 Ryder Cup. Elite hospitality found in local pubs, quintessentially Irish restaurants, and bespoke accommodation makes this region a cornerstone of any travelling golfer’s resume.

With 2 World Top 100s, a number of big-name courses just on the cusp, world-renowned scenery, and the sense of the “real Ireland” while you travel, this has to be seen to be believed.

Off-course, you’ll visit castles and whiskey distilleries, and you’ll see some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet, while eating and drinking to your heart’s content with the locals.  And no doubt a folk song or two along the way!
