ITINERARY

 

The Yeats Country Hotel

Delightfully reminiscent of the Edwardian era, this elegant Hotel is ideally located between Rosses Point Championship Golf Course and the sea - just minutes walk from the extensive safe and sandy beach. Rosses Point (or 'The Point' as it's known locally) is a charming village only 5 miles from Sligo town. The Hotel has magnificent views of Benbulben and the surrounding countryside. It was here that the Yeats family, after whom it was named, spent many summers and Rosses Point has been immortalized in both paintings of Jack B. Yeats and the poetry of W.B. Yeats.

 
 

Dun Ri

This 3-star luxury guesthouse is beautifully situated overlooking the Owenglen River, with a view of Clifden Pony Show grounds and Dooneen hill. The Dún Rí is managed by Michael King, and is specially designed to offer you a high standard of accommodation in comfortable and luxurious surroundings. For some peace and quiet you can relax in the spacious lounge whose rich, deep décor gives a warm and welcoming ambience. Situated in a secluded part of Clifden, Dún Rí is only one-minute walking distance from the town enter where you will find a wide range of shops, pubs and top class restaurants.

The unfortunate thing about golf in Ireland's northwest is that so few people in international circles appear to recognize its true worth as a destination. Rosses Point however, is just one of the great links of the northwest region and when you consider that its neighbors include the likes of Enniscrone, Donegal and Carne, it's impossible to deny the quality of the Irish northwest as a golfing destination. Situated on the Rosses Point peninsula, rest assured that this golf course, also known as County Sligo Golf Club, is one of Ireland's great championship links and one that more visitors should include on their itineraries.

Lying in the bosom of beautiful Donegal Bay and backed by the magnificent Blue Stack Mountains, Donegal Golf Links (or Murvagh Golf Club as it is also known) was designed by the master of Irish golf course architecture, Eddie Hackett. Following his designs at Connemara and Waterville Golf Links, the links at Donegal was his third such project and it was destined to be on a similarly grand scale as his two previous creations.

Known in some circles as the "Dornoch of Ireland", the Old Course at Ballyliffin has long been regarded by those in the know, as the ultimate hidden gem. Boasting an unsurpassable setting and with terrain so perfect for golf, it seems that those who did stumble across Ballyliffin felt compelled to speak about it in whispers.

Adjoining the Old Course at Ballyliffin, the newer Glashedy Links provides a roller coaster tour of this remarkable lunar like landscape. Given the incredible piece of golfing land on hand at Ballyliffin, the Glashedy Links was always destined for greatness. The end result however surpassed all expectation and Glashedy Links stands today as a supremely testing and stunningly beautiful links course. Glashedy is destined for recognition as one of the world's finest links.

Carne Golf Links, also known as Belmullet Golf Links, is one of those courses that people don't appreciate just how good it is until they have played it. Hidden on one of the most westerly points in Ireland, right on the Atlantic Ocean, the links at Carne was the last course designed by the late Eddie Hackett, who commented of Carne "if ever the Lord intended land for a golf course, Carne has it".
