For golfers touring Ireland’s west coast, base yourself in Ennis to combine convenient travel times with a historic hotel atmosphere. The Old Ground Hotel occupies a restored 18th-century manor in the heart of Ennis, with on-site dining and a cosy bar to relax in after a long day on the links. It’s also a practical choice for international visitors, being about a 20-minute drive from Shannon International Airport, which shortens transfer times to many County Clare courses. Use the hotel as a centre for day trips to coastal and inland courses across Clare and neighbouring counties; enjoy solid meals, an evening drink and comfortable rooms while planning tee times and travel logistics each morning. The hotel’s central town location makes it straightforward to arrange local transport, dining and services between rounds.
