Adare Golf Club, Adare, Ireland

We couldn't go to Ireland and not golf...but it was hard for us to do it even though we stayed at two golf clubs!  It was much colder in Ireland than we had anticipated...in the 40s for the most part AND it rained every day - not always long and hard but every day.  It was finally nice enough one afternoon so we were able to get out but only for a couple hours because all their clubs were going to be rented out at 2:00 pm.  So we were able to do 9 holes.  It was still pretty cold but at least the sun was shining!  This golf course was nice but nothing really special, except for the views of the castle of course!

We drove by "the old course" later and that looked interesting with holes next to a cemetary and an old ruined castle. 


When we drove to the Cliffs of Moher we did see a golf course along the Atlantic which looked a lot more like we expected "an Irish golf course" to look like...links style with a lot of hills and ocean views.  Of course that day it was quite cold and rainy but there were still people golfing!  I think they're more used to that weather than we were.  I wish we had more time to actually golf more, but at least we were able to say we golfed in Ireland!
