In view of the way the exchange rate of dollar is positioned against the Euro and the Pound
Sterling, one will find Europe a little bit expensive when compared to the USA. But if you
are intent on going to Europe, here are a few pointers that can help you get the most out of
your tour.
Ireland and Scotland golf vacations are very much exhilarating and it would be sensible to
go to these places in the UK on a golf vacation. To make it more profitable, you can visit
the two countries in a single visit. And, by concentrating on the west coast of Scotland and
Ireland, you can kill two birds using a single stone. If you have two weeks for your golf
vacations, then you may stay one week in Ireland and arrange your stay in the beautiful city
of Dublin. The other seven days you can stay in the cultural city of Glasgow, which is
located on the western part of Scotland.
Since Ireland is quite a small island, by making your stay at Dublin in Eire, you can easily
make visits to a number of golf courses in both Northern Ireland and Eire. One element that
needs to be taken into consideration when planning a golf vacation in these countries is the
weather. It rains quite a lot in Ireland and Scotland, and also you may have to confront
gusting winds on the coast. Be prepared with your golf umbrella, towel, and waterproofs
since the rain is somewhat unpredictable and out of anyone's control. The wind is an element
often associated with the courses in Scotland and Ireland. This is what makes golf so
special here because you will have to invent new shots such as bumps instead of a
traditional high wedge shot. There are more than 400 golf courses here, but we will take a
look at some of the best golf courses in Ireland.
First, close to Dublin one will find Portmarnock Golf Club. This is a challenging 18 hole
links course and one is confronted with the problem that no two consecutive holes play in
the same direction. So, one will have to adjust to the wind direction. Most people when
thinking about going golf vacations in Europe is likely to think about playing at St.
Andrews. In County Kerry, you will find a natural links course, The Old Course of
Ballybunion Golf Club. It is considered by many as the best and most beautiful tests of
links golf in the world. Mount Juliet Golf Course is actually a golf resort, and boasts of a
luxurious hotel which was originally an 18th Century house. This has recently been voted
Best Parkland Golf Course in Ireland. There are many golf courses on the west coast of
Scotland too.
So, if you are in the process of planning your European golf vacations, it would be prudent
to try out Ireland and the west coast of Scotland. You are not limited by the golf courses
mentioned here as there are literally hundreds of them for you to choose one.
