Classic Irish Links
A Counter-Clockwise Grand Tour
Starting at Trump Doonbeg in the South-West, this tour moves counter-clockwise around the island — through Kerry, up to Dublin, and finishing in the Northern Ireland capital of Belfast. World-famous golf aside, you will be bewitched by some of the most picturesque landscapes on the planet.
Nine championship rounds, four luxury stops, and the full spectrum of Irish golf — from the Atlantic links of Clare and Kerry to the east-coast classics of Dublin and the Causeway Coast legends of the north. Golf, adventure, and relaxation seldom get better.
