For golf travellers planning an Irish itinerary, choose a coastal base that balances easy access to driving links with comfortable, down-to-earth hospitality. Bay View Hotel Kilkee sits on Kilkee’s seafront village and offers a family-run welcome, cooked breakfasts and an atmospheric pub and restaurant for evenings after a day on the course. Use the hotel as a staging point for rounds in West Clare and the wider Wild Atlantic Way region, packing clothing for changeable Atlantic conditions and planning tee times that allow time to savour coastal scenery. After golf, relax in a room with Atlantic views, enjoy hearty local food at the Pier Restaurant or a pint in Hickie’s Bar, then recharge for your next round along Clare’s coastline.
