This is an amazingly accurate and complete compilation of golf courses in Ireland. I am quite familiar with the golf courses in Country Clare and their summaries were right on! I only wish I'd had it a few years ago the first time I went but it will definitely go with me the next time. Just having the meters in yards for each course is invaluable.

This well written and prettily presented book covers a lot of Irish golf courses. The authors have done their homework, there is plenty of useful information and the book would be a helpful companion in planning or taking a trip. Somehow, however, they seem to have missed conveying the idioysyncratic nature of Irish golf. Perhaps this is because each description of each course is identically laid out, and the course descriptions sometimes lapse into the generic. A well done and useful book but not a golf aphrodisiac like, say, Hamilton's "Great Golf Guide to Scotland."

This book is an excellent guide for anyone planning to golf in Ireland. Concise and clear information about specific courses along with other useful information about Ireland. If you plan to golf in Ireland take this along. I've used it on two trips and will take it the next time I go.
