Good Course for a 2 day Golf Outing

    Last year I organised an outing to the K Club. Worked out great with the K Club having 2 courses and self catering type accommodation. I will have between 12-20 golfers who like to have a few beers.

    Any recommendations for something similar. Good value, possibly 2 courses(one for the first day and one for the second), and accommodation.

    Fota Island in Cork? 27 holes, holiday cottages & hotel on site too. Don't know about prices though.

    Headfort in Kells would be a nice spot, have only played the Headfort New course but a cracking place and believe the Old course is as good although more traditional mature parkland. Should be a good few accommodation options around Kells.
    There's also Powerscourt near Enniskerry, have only played the East course but a good challenge and believe the West course is of similar standard. There's opulent accommodation in the Ritz Cartlon Hotel across the way but something more realistic price wise should be available in Enniskerry itself.
    Another option would be something like the Slieve Russell who often have good deals on hotel and accommodation included. The course is fantastic and I don't think you'd get tired of it playing it two days in a row. There's a par 3 course on the grounds also (not sure if it's 9 or 18 holes) but could be good for an evening round.

    Killarney golf club has 3 great courses Killeen where the irish open was played last year and again this year, Mahony s Point a lovely mature course and Lackabane where the European Challenge tour events have been played. All courses are very enjoyable, there is loads of accommodation nearby and the club will do a deal for two different courses

    Depends what area of country you're from. But if you're close enough to Kerry I'd recommend Killarney or Ballybunion.


    Killarney as mentioned already has 2 nice courses. I'm sure they have loads of accomodation and Killarney the town itself has great night life. Not sure of the green fees.


    Ballybunion has 2 great links courses, loads of accomodation, self catering or B&B's / Guesthouses and they have some nice pubs for pints afterwards. I think it's about €180 to play both courses in High season. Well worth the €180. You'd get a discount for a large group also.
