The North West of Ireland is undoubtedly a hidden gem for golfers worldwide.
The North West of Ireland offers some of the best links golf in Western Europe, as well as the country’s most picturesque landscapes, soaring sea cliffs and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Starting in Mayo on Ireland’s West coast, you have the opportunity to play Carne Golf Club, one of the country’s best kept secrets, as well as County Sligo Golf Club and Enniscrone Golf Club. Moving into Donegal, you will be introduced to Rosapenna Golf Club and Ballyliffin Golf Club. The advantage of golf in the North West is that most courses have two courses and both are as good as each other. At Ballyliffin you have the Old Links and the more modern Glashedy links. At Rosapenna you have the Old Tom Morris, Sandy Hills, and soon to open St Patrick’s links courses. At County Sligo you have the Colt Championship and the Bomore links. The region is rich in golfing depth and we encourage you to experience it.
The North West is a region that will really benefit from having an experienced Driver Guide behind the wheel, meaning you don’t have to worry about the winding roads. The counties of Mayo, Sligo, and Donegal are all known for their physical beauty and boast attractions such as Ashford Castle, Westport, Benbulbin Mountain, Yeats’ Drive, Sligo Lakes, Slieve League, Glenveagh National Park, Fanad Head, the Inishowen Peninsula – just like the South West the list could truly go on and on and on!

Multiple activities such as falconry, clay pigeon shooting and horse riding as well as interesting guided walks are available on request. We recommend taking a boat ride on Lough Corrib and perhaps stop on the Island of St Patrick to view the ruins of an ancient monastery.

Ireland is the land folklore, legends and storytelling. At Ireland Chauffeur Travel, we adore Ireland’s famed fireside storytelling sessions and we want to share that with you. We will arrange an authentic, engaging and private storytelling and music session with one of our favourite famed storytellers … and all in the comfort of your hotel or local pub
Galway City Walking Tour
Galway is Ireland’s cultural, language, traditional music and artistic capital. The city centre is famous for its lively ambience, street entertainment, shopping, cafes and pubs. As the centre of the city is all walking streets, this is best explored on foot starting at Eyre Square and ending at the Claddagh Quay or vice versa. The Latin Quarter is veritably buzzing from the eclectic legacy of a European influenced maritime past which starts at the Spanish Arch. Dining and pubs are numerous, and the Quays Bar, Naughton’s Pub and McDonagh’s seafood restaurant are all favourites.
