Links courses such as Rosslare offer great traditional links golf and are complemetned by some wonderful parkland courses none better than the magnificent Mount Juliet course near Kilkenny.

Tipperary has a number of excellent options including Co. Tipperary and Ballykisteen. The area tends to be overlooked by many but offers superb holiday golf for those in the know. Easy access great hotels and accessible and affordable golf courses make the South East ideal - can't unfortunately guarantee the Sunshine Circuit bit though.
