Golf in the South East
Whether it's a stunning links courses over the sandy beaches and rocky terrain of the South East coastline, or old-world parkland fairways surrounded by rolling mountains and tranquil valleys, the Sunny South East of Ireland has it all. So it is little wonder as to why the Great Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus considered the green pastures of the South East, "just a beautiful place to build a golf course."
3-day golf pass
The value that can be gained is also why the popularity of golfing within the region is so prominent. For example, the 3-Day Golf Pass to play the outstanding courses of Mount Juliet, Waterford Castle and Faithlegg Golf Clubs, enjoyed by the likes of Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson, for only €123, is a prime indicator of such value.
Festivals in South East of Ireland
Why not join one of the many festivals taking place in South East of Ireland while playing golf. For example Leinster Fleadh Cheoil (traditional music festival) in Wexford in July, Kilkenny Arts Festival in August or Waterford Harvest Food Festival in September.
