When to Play Golf in Ireland

Early April to mid-October is the generally accepted as the golf season in Ireland especially for visitors. Year-round play is possible on all links courses (though many adopt a lift from the fairway policy), while the parkland courses depend on the weather to remain playable during the winter months.

As explained in the weather page it is impossible to predict the weather in Ireland with any great certainty. The summer months of June, July and August are theoretically the best months to play and also provide long hours of daylight. However, May & September are the peak golfing months.

April and October are less busy months but also have less daylight and are more susceptible to inclement weather. Very few golf clubs offer reduced rates in these 'shoulder' months although accommodation & car hire costs are generally less than the peak season months.
