This is golf in Ireland’s famous County Cork and – unusually for a
region with such a long coastline – there is no links golf. However, there
is an abundance of exceptional welcoming parkland courses, including
the exceptionally fine Cork Golf Club and Fota Island. As with all of our
holiday suggestions, please feel welcome to vary them in any way you
wish – perhaps opting for another hotel or self-catering cottage or a
different combination of golf courses.
