Golf in the Shannon Region

With its amazing scenery, reasonable green fees and endless fairways, the Shannon region is a veritable Mecca for the golf enthusiast. Whether you are picking up the driver for the very first time or you are playing off of scratch, you can find some of the best links and parklands courses in the world within easy reach.

If you want to combine a round of golf with County Clare’s rugged and beautiful coast line then Lahinch golf course is not to be missed. But be warned, this links course is seriously challenging and poses all kinds of problems even for professionals. Every year it attracts the country’s top amateur golfers for The South of Ireland Championships.

Not far south of Lahinch you’ll find another classic links course at Doonbeg Golf Resort. Opened in 2002, this Greg Norman-designed coast also combines stunning scenery with a challenging round. Moving further south to County Limerick you can follow in the footsteps of top European Tour professionals with a round at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort. Situated on the grounds of a stately home, this classic parkland’s course is both challenging and satisfying. Adare has been the host of a number of major golf tournaments and is home to the Irish Open from 2007 to 2010.

These are just three of the more popular golf courses in the reason. However, with 25 quality courses to choose from there is no shortage of choice. And these are not limited to Limerick and Clare. Moving inland, you will find more quality courses in Tipperary and Offaly, all within easy reach of Shannon Airport.

Most likely, you will need to rent a car to get you and your clubs to your golf courses of choice. For Car rental at Shannon Airport, look no further than Malone Car Hire Ireland.
