When Should I Play Golf in Ireland?

We would suggest the best months to visit Ireland to play world-class golf would be any time from the start of May to the start of October.
Ireland is well known for its changing weather conditions almost by the hour. Those looking for perfect temperatures and almost guaranteed sunshine may well be better suited looking at packages in Spain, Algarve, and Turkey. However, for the two hundred and sixty thousand golfers travelling to the Emerald Isle each year, the windy conditions and light drizzle can offer the most authentic Links golf experiences anywhere worldwide.
Although if you stick to the summer months the daylight hours can stretch between 4.30 am to well go 10 pm meaning later tee times after a leisurely lunch are possible as well as playing two rounds in one day.
