County Sligo Golf Club, Sligo

Advantages: Handy stop-off on your travels
Disadvantages: A busy venue at all times of the day

...Driving northbound on the Sligo to Donegal road (N15) you are sure to drive through the picturesque village of Drumcliff. The Churchyard here is internationally recognised as the burial place of the poet WB.Yeats making this the definitive heart of Yeats Country. Drumcliff is also home to The Yeats Tavern Restaurant & Davis's Pub. One of Sligo’s oldest drinking and eating establishments, this fine pub/restaurant has been owned and run by the Davis family for over thirty five years. From the drinking mans local of the 1960’s, progressing on to their first menu of fresh fish, soup and sandwiches in the 70’s, the new century has seen this pub evolve to become a quality venue for eating and socialising. Open seven days a week, and only five miles from Sligo town, this is a popular spot frequented by both locals and visitors alike... Read review

Advantages: One of the finest links courses in Ireland
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive. A bit inaccessible.

...~ ~ Two weeks ago (July 2004) the Irish P.G.A. and the competition sponsors, Nissan Ireland, held the 2004 Irish Open Golf Championship at a links golf course for the 3rd year in succession. This year, in their wisdom, they selected Baltray Golf Club in Co. Louth. Baltray is, in my opinion, the finest links golf course in Ireland either north or south of the border. (The Island Golf Club in Donabate, Co. Dublin, where the 2003 Open was held, runs it a very close second.) ~ ~ For years Baltray, or to give it its proper title, Co.
