Mastery and Mystery--The Best of the West

When one thinks of the West of Ireland, there are usually only thinking of the south-west, starting of course with Ballybunion. The fame of that blessed links led droves of visitors to play the other deserved, now heavily-visited courses in close proximity, and rightfully so. But these courses, with the exception of Lahinch, tended to be further south, and most tours head only in that direction from Shannon. Our tour starts with a venture into mysterious, uncharted territory, before finishing up at the masterful venues of Lahinch and Ballybunion. Before you get to the beaten path, you will have already encountered some of the finest, yet still virtually unknown, courses in all of Ireland, if not the world!
