Links Magazine recently published its list of the top 10 most spectacular courses in world golf; and it makes for interesting reading with Old Head Golf Links in Ireland finishing in top position. Located just south of Cork, Old Head stands on cliff tops in a remote location that’ll make you feel like you’re on the edge of the world. Another notable course on the list is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, China which is an 8,500 yard course built 3000 feet above sea level.

We often receive requests from clients to experience a stay at a castle when travelling to Ireland and Scotland.

In Ireland, Ashford Castle is the ideal location when playing Connemara Golf Club; it has recently has been voted ‘Top Resort in Ireland’ in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2011 Gold List, and one of the top hotels in Ireland in Travel & Leisure’s 2011 World’s Best Awards.

The Lodge at Doonbeg is a ‘must stay’ property for anyone playing both the fantastic links course on-site and nearby Lahinch, and they have recently made changes to the room configurations to make it an easier place to stay for small parties. Previously there were limited options when small parties were visiting the property due to the fact that a lot of the accommodation was in 2, 3 or 4 bedroom style cottages, however they have recently taken the decision to sell individual rooms within the larger cottages; meaning you can either have private access to the lounges (like you would in a hotel suite), or not, depending on your budget.
