Ireland is an island on the fringe of
Europe. But what looms large is its
attractiveness to Golfers. Once
within its borders, visitors discover
a country with a lush landscape, deep
cultural roots and a bounty of
championship golf courses that have
found their way onto the list of the
world's best golf destinations.
Ireland's second oldest golf course
continues to be one of its most
revered. The Royal Dublin Golf Club
has survived over a century of
existence, a World War and a ravaging
fire. Mount Juliet is a tree-lined
golfing gem, while the K-Club in Kildare is a
relative newbie to the Ireland golf
scene, but has quickly become one of
the country's best, and hosted the
Ryder Cup in 2006.
However, none of the new golf courses,
or even most of the old ones, can
compare to the masterpiece that is
Greg Norman's Dunes at Doonbeg, a
mixture of rolling landscape and
breathtaking views of the sparkling
sea. Its opening in 2001 was much
anticipated, and thus far it has more
than delivered.
