Cork Golf Packages

Golf on Ireland’s South Coast with world-class courses and legendary hospitality

Cork Golf Packages – Iconic Golf Along Ireland’s Coast

Cork has long been a favorite for golfers visiting Ireland. Blending dramatic links golf, rolling parkland fairways, and a warm welcome at every turn, the region is a dream for those seeking authentic Irish golf vacations. There are plenty of memorable rounds to be found, from the historic courses right outside Cork City to the stunning cliffs of Kinsale.

Stay at upscale places like Castlemartyr Resort or Fota Island Resort, and play at renowned courses like Old Head Golf Links, which is close to Kinsale.  The ideal combination for a golf vacation in southern Ireland is the picturesque fairways of Lee Valley Golf & Country Club or the traditional inland obstacles of Cork Golf Club.

Make Cork Your Destination for a Golf Break

Beyond the golf, Cork has plenty to keep you entertained. In Cork City you’ll find lively pubs, live music, and excellent dining, from Michelin-starred restaurants to hearty traditional fare. The English Market is a must for food lovers, and the city’s nightlife is famously welcoming.

Old Head Golf Links is located near Kinsale, a gourmet capital that is about 30 minutes from the city. While coastal communities like Cobh bring history and heritage to life, whiskey enthusiasts may visit the Jameson Distillery in Midleton in East Cork. Between rounds, you can stroll along sandy beaches, take in ocean views, or simply relax with a pint of stout in a cozy village bar.

Why Cork is such a great golf destination

Cork may not have the same fame as Dublin or Kerry, but many golfers say that is part of its charm. The region combines legendary courses with a warm Irish welcome and fewer crowds. Old Head Golf Links is regularly voted among the most beautiful courses in the world, while inland gems like Lee Valley and Cork Golf Club provide variety and value.

Stay & Play options are excellent, with both Fota Island Resort and Castlemartyr Resort offering luxury accommodations, practice facilities, and dining all on site. Transfers are short and easy, with most courses within an hour of Cork City and the airport. That means less time traveling and more time on the fairways.

Add in Cork’s cultural appeal, its music, pubs, and food scene and you’ll find a golf trip that goes beyond the game. Many visitors plan return trips after experiencing the mix of links and parkland, the coastal scenery, and the famously friendly Cork welcome.

Golf Packages in Cork

Golf in Cork blends variety with world-class pedigree. Many golfers start at Old Head Golf Links, perched on a headland that juts dramatically into the Atlantic. The course is considered one of the most spectacular anywhere in the world, with holes that hug the cliffs and demand both courage and precision.

In contrast, Fota Island Resort offers championship parkland golf just 15 minutes from Cork City. A former Irish Open venue, it features three loops of nine holes that can be combined in different ways for fresh challenges each day. Castlemartyr Resort, east of Cork, provides another five-star Stay & Play option, combining a historic manor setting with a Jack Nicklaus-designed inland course.

For a more traditional Irish experience, Cork Golf Club, designed by the legendary Dr. Alister MacKenzie, delivers a clever layout set on the shores of Cork Harbour. Inland, Lee Valley Golf & Country Club provides a scenic and welcoming venue that many groups choose as a home base thanks to its relaxed atmosphere and panoramic countryside views.
