Ireland Golf Logistics
The Southwest of Ireland offers some of the most dramatic links golf in the world, but the logistics of connecting them require precise planning.
Key Booking Windows
| Course | Booking Opens | Pace Expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Ballybunion (Old) | May (year prior) | 4h 10m |
| Lahinch (Old) | June (year prior) | 4h 00m |
| Waterville | April (year prior) | 4h 15m |
Common Mistakes
- Underestimating Drive Times: The Ring of Kerry is narrow. A 50-mile drive can easily take two hours behind tour buses.
- Assuming Buggies (Carts) are Available: True links courses are designed for walking. Carts are often restricted to players with medical certificates.
