Playing links golf in Ireland is fine, but don't limit yourself

Americans come to the United Kingdom, certainly Scotland and Ireland, to play true links golf. That’s understandable, but they are missing out on some great golf courses. The Woodenbridge Golf Club, south of Dublin in County Wicklow, looks like it was straight out of one of those old soap commercials, you know the one, with the Irish guy and girl cavorting through an idyllic Irish countryside. It’s set in a valley, ringed by green-topped hills, and shot through with two of the most beautiful Irish rivers, sparkling like diamonds during the few times they get sun here. It isn’t a particularly difficult course – though it is fairly narrow and requires accuracy – but the setting is unbelievable, especially for someone who is looking for “Irish” countryside. It’s one of the prettiest courses I’ve ever played – if I had submitted to all the urges I had to take pictures, I’d have hundreds. Instead, I have dozens. Look for the full review coming soon… Bookmark/Search this post with:

Damn! Was just in Dublin last month, hiking in the Wicklow mountains, and missed out on golf. It was beautiful, but kind of snowing, so we decided not to play.

So many courses, so little time. On our trip to Scotland in 2004, we decided to stick with links golf only, with the reasoning being we can play fabulous inland courses at home. (Not to say there aren't fabulous inland courses in the UK.) So we played a couple of the Open rota courses and a lot of the "second tier" courses. Well, they are terrific too. Best time I've ever had in my life and I wouldn't change a thing. In fact we're going over next year and will do the same thing but in different parts of the country.
P.S. Thanks for the tip on Jim 'n Nicks BBQ - it was on the money.
