Privately Guided Golf Journeys Across Ireland
Tee times, logistics, and every detail carefully arranged — so you can focus entirely on the game.
Ireland is home to some of the world’s most sought-after golf courses — but experiencing them properly requires more than a list of tee times.
At Sheenco Travel, we design and deliver privately guided golf journeys across Ireland, ensuring the right courses are played at the right times, with everything around them handled seamlessly.
From arrival through to your final round, your journey is structured so that each day flows naturally — without unnecessary travel, pressure on timing, or logistical complexity.
Golf, Properly Arranged
Securing the right tee times — particularly during peak season — is only part of the process.
Equally important is how those rounds are positioned within your journey.
We design each itinerary to balance championship links, recovery time, and travel flow — ensuring you experience each course at its best, rather than rushing between them.
Your private driver-guide manages all movement throughout, allowing you to focus entirely on the game.
Designed Around How You Play
Some clients prefer to play daily. Others choose a more considered pace, balancing golf with time to experience Ireland beyond the fairways.
For groups with non-golfers, we design parallel experiences — ensuring everyone enjoys the journey, without compromise.
Example Golf Journey Through Ireland
This is an illustration of how a privately guided golf journey may flow. Every itinerary is designed from scratch.
Day 1: K-Club Golf, Ireland
Arrive at Dublin Airport after your flight. Your driver/guide will meet you with a warm welcome at arrivals before bringing you the short distance South to the K-Club. Take today to settle in or if you want to get started straight away we can book your first tee time for the afternoon. With 2 World Class courses to choose from you may as well make the most of your visit and play both.
Day 2: Druids Glen Golf, Ireland
If you are an early riser book in for an early tee off on the Palmer Ryder Cup Course. After a freshen up take the short drive to Co. Wicklow to the Druids Glen which was voted amongst the top-5 parkland courses in Ireland in BACKSPIN magazine’s influential Irish Golf Course Rankings poll. Return to the K-Club to discuss the finer points of play in the Legends Bar.
Day 3: Fota Golf, Ireland
Leave the K-Club and travel to the Fota Island Golf Resort in Cork. With 3 unique courses you will be able to squeeze in as many rounds as you can manage in your stay here. If you can tear yourself away Blarney Castle is a short drive away as is the original Jameson Distillery in nearby Midleton. Cobh is also worth a look with the heritage center highlighting the history of emigration from Ireland.
Day 4: Old Head Golf Links, Ireland
Today will surely be a highlight of the tour when you play the famous Old Head Golf Links in Kinsale. This is truly one of Ireland’s most stunning golfing locations. Old Head, par 72, has a minimum of six tees per hole with eight Par 4s, five Par 3s and five Par 5s and extends to over 7,200 yards. Every hole has expansive sea views with nine holes played beside the cliff tops. The unpredictable sea breezes ensures the course provides a stern test to both the high handicapper and the touring pro alike. Return to the luxury estate at Fota to relive the days events.
Day 5: Adare Golf, Ireland
Take some time to do some touring today en route to Adare Manor. Arrive in time for some afternoon tea and either, take a break for the day or avail of a late afternoon tee off. The Golf Course at Adare Manor is situated on the banks of the River Maigue. Designed by Tom Fazio to reward courage and emphasize shot placement this course rewards careful thought in soulful surroundings.
Day 6: Ballybunion Golf Links, Ireland
Head for the nearby Ballybunion to play the famous Old Course there. This fabulous Links Course was founded way back in 1893. It has been enjoyed by golfers from far and wide ever since and Tom Watson said it best when he stated “Nobody can call himself a golfer until s/he has played at Ballybunion”. Return to Adare Manor in the evening.
Day 7: Doonbeg Golf Links, Ireland
Today allows some time for touring, you may like to visit Bunratty Castle and Folk Park before continuing on to Doonbeg Lodge and checking in to your luxury hotel. Tee off after lunch at the Lodge. The Par-72 course includes nine holes out and nine back in a single loop, playing 7026 yards from the back tees. The route within the dunes leads to a rare combination of five par 5s and five par 3s. Here the wind speed and direction creates daily modifications in play.
Doonbeg is included for its outstanding course and coastal setting. We continue to refer to the property by its original name as a nod to its history.
Day 8: Lahinch Golf Links, Ireland
Just a short drive will take you to Lahinch. Book an early tee time on the Old Course. Lahinch has received world-wide acclaim and is now consistently ranked among the world’s greatest links courses. The Castle Course can be played after lunch to make for another full day of golfing pleasure. Continue on to Galway and enjoy a night out in this vibrant and social city.
Day 9: Enniscrone Golf Links, Ireland
Get an early start and travel North to Sligo. After an early lunch hit the stunning Dunes championship links course. One of the most challenging traditional links course, Tom Coyne described it as a “must play”. If you’re left hungry for more there are an additional 9 holes at Enniscrone so why not fit in the full 27 before retiring to your accommodations in Sligo town.
Day 10: County Sligo (Rosses Point) Golf Links, Ireland
Enjoy an early morning tee off on the championship course at the County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point. This legendary course designed by Harry Colt has hosted many Irish Championships and is affectionately known to locals as “The Point”.

Day 11: Royal Portrush Golf Links, Northern Ireland
This morning’s course needs no introduction and these next couple of days are sure to be the highlights of your trip. The Dunluce Championship Links must of course be tackled and many may like to stay an extra day in the area to enjoy the hidden gem that is the Valley Links. Otherwise pay a visit to the Giant’s Causeway or stop off at Bushmills for a drop of whiskey before making your way to Belfast city for tonight’s overnight stop.
Day 12: Royal Co. Down Golf Links, Northern Ireland
This morning travel to Co Down where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea and enjoy a round at one of the oldest Golf Clubs in Ireland. This stunning course is set in the Murlough Nature Reserve and overlooks the sweeping seascapes of Dundrum Bay.
