Green Fees
This should be the main cost item. After all the primary reason you are on a golf tour to Ireland is to play golf we assume! At a high level, and assuming you have a blend of courses knitted into your Ireland golf tour, $200 per round would be a reasonable estimate for your average Ireland green fee on our better links.
Accommodation
Not unlike any other country, the price of accommodation will vary significantly from the major cities to more regional towns. The golf traveler can avail of multiple price-point options, from modest Irish B&B’s through to some Irish Castle hotel experiences that rival the finest hotel accommodations in the world.
Flights from the US
Very good news here. Aer Lingus, Ireland’s national carrier, and the primary airline for golfers coming to Ireland, have greatly expanded the number of direct flights from the US to Ireland.
Transportation
Broadly two options here: (i) self-drive or (ii)hire a driver. Obviously the first option is cheaper but there are some recommendation we advise when hiring a car in Ireland. Firstly. always purchase full insurance so that that mirror dangling of the car when you return is not on your dime.
Food and Drink
Well that one is on you! We do not include that as part of our fixed cost tours ~ our beady-eyed accountant would not go for that level of risk! Let’s assume you do not need 5 star Michelin restaurants but are happy to settle down in some snug Irish pub, for grub, beverages and possibly some Irish music for the evening.
When You Go
The golf travel season in Ireland runs from April through October. Sure, the courses are open the rest of the year, but the limited daylight, frequent storms, and frosty temperatures makes a trip outside of this timeframe less than ideal.
How You Pay
Ireland is one island with two currencies. Which of the two is in play for your trip will certainly impact your total price.
Where You Play
From the #1 ranked course in the world, to the newest member of The Open rota, to the string of Top 100 courses along the famous Southwest coast, Ireland’s abundance of outstanding golf is almost without equal. As one might expect, the bigger the name, the bigger the green fee.
Who is Behind the Wheel
Transportation is one of the overlooked considerations for many travelers when planning an Irish golf trip. There’s many things to take into account when choosing whether to self-drive or hire an H&B Driver-Host. Cost is one consideration, but not the most important factor for most of our travelers.
How Long You Stay
Of course the overall length of your Ireland golf trip will impact your total price, but in some cases, staying in one place a little longer can yield some extra value. That’s because many of our accommodation partners across the pond take part in our annual Early Booking and Free Nights promotion.
Additional Tips
Among all the decisions you make regarding your Ireland golf vacation, single vs double occupancy will impact your final price perhaps more than anything else. If you’re looking to save some Euros for the souvenir budget, having a roommate will certainly do the trick.
