We used a planner to arrange the golf rounds. I would guess you could do it yourself, but comparing should be easy enough. There are north and south golf areas to play. We focused on the southern courses. So before you decide I’m wrong for this, we stayed at Doonbeg. It is on the ocean, south of Galway, west of Limerick. Yea yea yea, it’s a Trump hotel, but the course is fun and the hotel was nice and in a good location for some of the courses. As I recall, it was in the €350 a night range. And about halfway through, we moved to Killarney, which has a really fun vibe….pubs with live music and horse racing nearby.

Golf….there are plenty of good courses, all within a reasonable drive from Doonbeg. Ballybunion, Lahinch, Tralee, Old Head, Waterville…..my favorite course was Waterville, with Lahinch a close second. Not sure about carts at any of the courses, we walked them all.
