The North West is a destination that is loved as much for its scenery as it is for its golf.
The shoreline here is nothing short of spectacular and provides a dramatic stage for a number of stunning links courses.
Ballyliffin, on the Inishowen Peninsula, is one of the most famous courses in the world and a superb test of links golf.
Rosapenna, home to the Old Tom Morris Links, is another course destined for greatness and is, without doubt, one of Ireland's top links resorts.
Farther inland this region has a number of excellent parkland courses. Slieve Russell is an outstanding parkland course. It has hosted a number of top tournaments and is a stiff test off the back tees.
Lesser known parkland venues include Letterkenny, a parkland course near Lough Swilly in County Donegal. Right on the shores of the Lough is North-West, which is also known as the 'St Andrews of Ireland'.
With celebrated layouts and hidden gems around every corner this region has all the right ingredients for a top-class golfing holiday.
