The best of Ireland golf
Ireland is rife with spectacular coastal terrain and rich history, not to mention world-class links golf courses.
To the north, Royal County Down and Royal Portrush reign, with less-ballyhooed links like Castlerock and Ardglass rife for discovery. Ballyliffin and Enniscrone are off-the-beaten-path gems in the northwest. In the south, it doesn't get much better than Lahinch Golf Club and its Old Course's amazing No. 6.
Your eyes will be stimulated off the course as well, with castle ruins and natural wonders dotting the landscape.
GolfEurope.com's Brandon Tucker offers up some of his best shots on the course and off from his recent trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
