If you have come to Ireland to take advantage of the golfing —Ireland is home to thirty percent of the world’s golf courses— then a stay in Ennis won’t put a crimp in your plans. Ennis has some fine golfing opportunities, and visitors to the town are welcome to try out each of them.

Founded in 1907, the Ennis Golf Club is an exquisitely kept-up course boasting eighteen holes of golfing delight. It is located in a particularly breathtaking, scenic area, with the coastline just thirty kilometres away. Par for the course is seventy-one, and you may find that the challenge of reaching the course is attainable, but requires a certain effort on the part of the golfer.

The fairways are lined with trees and the greens are referred to as “tight” but the terrain is comparatively even, so a holiday golfer should not feel too daunted by the challenge. The Ennis Golf Club prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere, so why not stop in?

If you have given the Ennis Golf Club a try and are still in the market for some leisure sport, why not stop by the Woodstock House Golf Club? Woodstock boasts that it is surely one of the “most exciting golf course developments in Ireland.” Its proximity to Ennis —just three kilometres away— makes it a favourite choice of locals and visitors alike. The course is championship size, with a par of seventy-one, and prides itself on being playable all year round.

The course presents a fair challenge, especially with water obstacles to negotiate on four of the eighteen holes, but it should prove a pleasant enterprise for most reasonably-skilled golfers. Visitors are welcome at Woodstock —they are delighted to have received over fifty thousand non-members in their greens since they first opened— so come on over and test your skill.
