Help/Adivce needed

Danny dyers double

Hi guys , Im planning to organize a round of golf and an overnight stay for 8 or so lads . Im hoping to do this for first or second week in March .

Im hoping to get somewere quite close to a town with a few pubs around . We are from south Dublín so ideally i was hoping to get somewere within an hour or 90 min drive away .

Lads would any of yous have any suggestions ? The quality of the golf course is not really a big issue as besides 2 or 3 us we would not be the grestest bunch of golfers .

peepee

Kilkenny is a good town

Bunclody, and I'd say you'd get a good deal in the hotel across from the golf course.

Have been to Carlingford a couple of times on stag/ golf trip and found it very good. Good bars/ restaurants and golf courses near by.

I know it is the opposite side of Dublin however not very far on M50/M1.

Play Esker Hills or Castle Barna and stay in the Central Hotel in Tullamore.

I've priced something similar for the end of the summer (details in a few weeks) but it involved a round on the Saturday morning, dinner, B&B and round on the Sunday. Was working out around €90

Did that exact trip last year, two nice courses and hotel was fine.
Might also be worth looking at Dungarvan, nice town and some decent courses there also.

Few nice places to bring herself for walks local to glasson too if ye are into that. Portlick woods is one of them.

Good man Charlie, I can see Danny bringing the 8 lads he was booking for on a romantic walk

Dundrum House, Tipperary, great course and good on course accommodation.
Cahir Park, Tipp, nice course and close to accommodation in the town.
Portumna, good course and good greenfees. Not sure what accommodation is available now (I heard Shannon Oaks closed down?).
Birr is a good track and nice accommodation at County Arms.
Heard good deals can be had at Rosapenna.
Sometimes if you deal direct with Golf club they will give you a good discount on green fees and also point you towards a good accommodation deal.
