Planning a golf trip to Ireland means balancing early tee times, weather contingency and travel between courses. Selecting compact, well-located accommodation simplifies logistics: aim for a base that reduces transfer times to multiple courses and provides secure storage or space to dry wet gear. Allow extra travel time for single-track roads and check local driving norms before booking rental cars. Pack a versatile bag with waterproofs and layered clothing, and prioritise flexible arrival and departure options to match early or late tee times. When arranging tee times, confirm booking and transport arrangements in advance, and consider spacing rounds to allow for unpredictable weather. Use your base to regroup between rounds, and seek venues that can advise on local course conditions and nearby practice facilities to fine-tune your game while in Ireland.
