Golf In Ireland
The Royal Curragh Golf Club was the first golf club built in Ireland in 1853. Golf in Ireland continues to enjoy a healthy patronage. Golf ranks third in euros spent on activities in Ireland by overseas travelers [1] bringing 183m in 2012. In 2007, Pádraig P. Harrington became the first golfer from the Republic of Ireland to win The Open Championship, the oldest of the four Men's major championships.
History of Golf in Ireland
Organizations
Tournaments
Notable Courses
The Republic of Ireland has twenty-six different counties, seven different types of regions, and nearly 300 different courses to suit any golfers needs. Courses in the West offer views alongside the Atlantic Ocean which symbolize links-style golf instead of the standard Country Club "tree-lined" look. Then there are courses with great history such as Portmarnock in the Dublin region, which was home to fifteen Irish Opens. If you are looking to play what our golfing forefathers played on, then there are courses that were established in the 19th-Century such as Lahinch in County Clare (1894) and the Royal Curragh Golf Club in Kildare (1858) that still receive great amounts of play and tourism.
