Unmatched beauty & sensational golf awaits
Sligo, which translates to 'Shelly River' in Gaelic, is a historic coastal seaport and second-largest city in the north-west behind Galway. Nestled between three sets of mountains, Lough Gill and the Atlantic Ocean, it is one of the most picturesque places in all of Ireland. A golf package to Sligo offers a slice of authentic Ireland with its fantastic local hospitality and rugged beauty.
Along with such rugged coastal beauty comes wonderful links golf courses, with Rosses Point (County Sligo), Enniscrone and Donegal being the three big names locally.

What makes a golf package in Sligo so special?
Set among towering dunes and the rugged Irish coastline, there are few more spectacular settings than Sligo in which to play golf. Less than an hour in opposite directions from the town are Enniscrone, on the spectacular Bartragh Peninsula, and Donegal which is very reminiscent of Muirfield in Scotland.
Nearer to Sligo is the magnificent Rosses Point (County Sligo), a Harry Colt design, and the historic hidden gem at Strandhill Golf Club. For those that want to venture further afield, we highly recommend a day trip to Carne Golf Links, which designer Eddie Hackett regards as his greatest achievement alongside Waterville in south west Ireland.
