County golf guide
Cork
Cork has one of the broadest golf offerings in Ireland, with famous coastal courses, strong city clubs, resort venues, and a huge spread of local clubs across the county.
The variety is the real strength. Golfers can play dramatic headland golf, classic parkland, harbour-side holes, inland resort courses, and friendly open competitions without leaving the county.
For open competitions, Cork is one of the most important counties to follow because of the sheer number of clubs and the range of formats, prices, and course styles available.
Must play
Old Head Golf Links
Old Head is Cork's most dramatic golf experience, set on a spectacular headland with sea views, cliff edges, and a sense of occasion from start to finish.
Recommended
Cork Golf Club
Cork Golf Club is a superb recommended stop, combining history, character, and a distinctive setting that gives golfers a very different experience from the county's more exposed coastal layouts.
