As the 2027 Ryder Cup approaches at Adare Manor, Ireland’s golf scene offers far more than just the high-profile courses. While the temptation to focus on elite venues is strong, Donegal in the northwest stands out as a hidden gem.
The region boasts Rosapenna, a renowned 54-hole links course, alongside Ballyliffin’s Glashedy and Old courses—both ranked in the NCG Top 100 for Great Britain & Ireland. Nearby, St Patrick’s Links has undergone significant upgrades, adding to the area’s appeal.
Beyond Donegal, Northern Ireland has also seen a surge in golf tourism, fueled by its world-class courses and the global success of its athletes. Cities like Galway, just an hour from Adare, provide a charming base for travelers, blending urban comfort with Ireland’s breathtaking coastal landscapes and rugged interior.
