South West Ireland golf packages offer the perfect holiday.

Southwest Ireland includes the counties of Cork, Kerry and Limerick and has long been one of the most popular parts of Eire for visitors from Britain, the US and around the world. But now an increasing number of people looking for golf vacations in Ireland are discovering this picturesque part of the country. It's a wonderful place to play a round of golf, whether you're looking to relax or to improve your skills or to engage in stiff but friendly competition with friends or colleagues.

The south western part of Ireland is certainly one of the most scenic areas of Ireland - one very good reason for anyone looking for relaxing Ireland golf packages to think about it. Walking is a very popular activity in Cork and there are over 1000km of official walkways in the county.

You'll find Ireland's highest mountain, Carrauntoohil which is over 1,000 metres located here. The region is also famous for the Blarney Stone - kiss it and you'll have the gift of the gab, so say local legend. A good way to explain why your game wasn't quite as good as it should have been, perhaps? The famous stone can add a unique element to all golf vacations in Ireland.

While visiting Blarney Castle many visitors take the opportunity to explore Cork as well. Killarney in County Kerry provides a very convenient and attractive base for exploring what is commonly known as the 'Ring of Kerry'. This is a scenic trip around the Dingle peninsula that takes in many of Kerry's most stunning coastlines, mountains and lakes. Cork City, on the other hand, is the third largest city in Ireland, after Dublin and Belfast and so it has something for everyone. Anyone looking for golf vacations in Ireland will find plenty to keep them amused in this part of the country.
