Passports

All U.S. travelers need a valid U.S. passport to travel to Ireland.  No exceptions are made on either side of the pond.

Weather

Ireland has a temperate climate - no extreme hot or cold.  The best times to travel to Ireland are from mid-April until late October.  It rains a lot in Ireland - pack an umbrella.

Planning

Ireland is now the #1 overseas golf destination for U.S. golfers.  It is important to plan ahead to ensure you get the courses, accommodations, and tours you want.

Attire

Soft spikes are mandatory on most courses.  Jeans and t-shirts are not allowed, and Bermuda shorts are permitted with knee socks.  Casual attire is allowed at most clubhouses.  In some clubs, jacket and tie may be required for dining.  It's usually best to call ahead or ask your tour operator if there are any questions.

Caddies & Carts

There are caddy services at all high profile golf clubs.  Pull carts are another readily available option.  While electric golf carts are not as popular as in the states, they are becoming increasingly available in limited numbers.
