"Ireland is one of the world's fastest growing golf destinations. Travel agents and golf magazines are selling it.... Entrepeneurs, eager to ride the wave, are investing substantial sums. Since 1990, more than a half-dozen major new golf courses have opened, others have expanded, and more development is planned".In addition to the best courses in both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, author Rob Armstrong describes other courses of note and provides complete lists of Ireland's nine- and eighteen-hole golf courses. A chapter is included on where to stay, what to eat, and what to do when not golfing. With this guide, anyone can enjoy hitting the links on the Emerald Isle.
