Ireland is renowned for its world-class golf courses, but the true magic of a golfing journey here extends far beyond the greens. At Atlantic Way Golf, we specialise in Irish golf tours that combine exceptional play with authentic cultural experiences, ensuring that every moment of your trip is as memorable as your best round. 


Our premier golf experiences are designed to immerse you in Ireland’s landscapes, history and hospitality, creating journeys that are as much about discovery as they are about golf.

Discover Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands


For golfers seeking a quieter, more intimate side of Ireland, our Hidden Heartlands tour offers a serene retreat from the usual tourist trails. Nestled among rolling parklands, gentle lakes and winding rivers, this region presents a mix of traditional Irish charm and world-class fairways. Imagine teeing off at courses where panoramic countryside views stretch as far as the eye can see, then unwinding at local pubs where the warmth of Irish hospitality matches the warmth of the hearth.


Our Hidden Heartlands tour typically runs between 7 and 14 nights, with luxurious stays in handpicked 4* or 5* hotels. Guests enjoy five rounds of 18-hole golf at carefully selected courses, each offering a distinct character that showcases the region’s natural beauty. From undulating parklands to intimate club layouts, every round is a chance to experience the subtleties of Irish golf.


What sets our tours apart is the personal touch. On arrival, a dedicated Atlantic Way Golf representative meets and greets your group, ensuring a smooth start. Two additional check-ins during your stay guarantee that everything runs seamlessly and a welcome pack featuring local produce and gifts adds a special touch to your journey. For the duration of your trip, 24/7 support from our team ensures peace of mind, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your golf and your exploration of Ireland.


The Great Northwest: Wild Beauty Meets Exceptional Golf


For those seeking dramatic landscapes alongside their golf, our Great Northwest tour offers an unforgettable adventure. This journey takes you along Ireland’s rugged northwestern coast, from the sweeping shores of Castlerock and Portstewart to the storied dunes of Ballyliffin and the scenic elegance of Rosapenna. Your final rounds take place at Narin & Portnoo, where rolling dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean in perfect harmony.


Each course along the Great Northwest route provides not just a sporting challenge but a visual feast. Portstewart, for example, offers pristine fairways with panoramic coastal views, while Ballyliffin’s combination of rugged terrain and subtle undulations tests both skill and strategy. Meanwhile, Rosapenna’s historic layout and seaside splendour offer an experience that is both challenging and breathtaking.


Our bespoke services ensure that every detail of your trip is tailored to your group. From private transportation with pick-up and drop-off to carefully coordinated tee times, we handle all the logistics so you can focus entirely on your golf. We also arrange exclusive experiences, such as behind-the-scenes access to clubs or local cultural highlights, giving your tour an extra layer of depth and authenticity.

More Than Just Golf: A Cultural Journey


While golf is the heartbeat of every Atlantic Way tour, we believe that the surrounding culture makes the experience truly extraordinary. Both the Hidden Heartlands and the Great Northwest tours we host offer glimpses into Ireland’s heritage, from charming villages to lively local pubs and historic landmarks to breathtaking natural scenery. After a round, enjoy a pint in a centuries-old inn, sample local culinary delights or simply stroll along the serene lakesides and coastal paths.


Our tours are designed to balance golf with leisure and discovery. By combining five-star accommodations, bespoke transportation and local expertise, we create an environment where guests can relax, explore and fully embrace everything Ireland has to offer. The result is a journey that is as rich culturally as it is rewarding on the fairways.
