GOLFLAND IRELAND is the hardback guide to the array of good, great and utterly glorious courses across the island of Ireland – all of them. Planning a trip to Ireland or simply dreaming of one? GOLFLAND IRELAND is the essential, definitive work. Every Irish course is here. GOLFLAND IRELAND is both practical reference book and highly desirable gift, it is stylishly laid out, showcasing fabulous photography by David Cannon, the world’s finest and most famous golf photographer. As well as the comprehensive and detailed guides to each course, GOLFLAND IRELAND contains historical overviews, portraits of Ireland’s key golf figures, as well as suggested itineraries and maps. GOLFLAND IRELAND is for Ireland’s own golfers as well as to those from all over the world who are dreaming about or planning a trip to walk its famous fairways – such as Portrush, Portmarnock, Royal County Down, Ballybunion, Waterville and many more – and to discover its less-well-known, lovely and hidden outposts. Ireland’s golfing riches can be overwhelming and GOLFLAND IRELAND is simply the best way to navigate them. From Ardglass: “Ardglass is an adventure of a course, with splendid views to the Mountains of Mourne, over the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man, and beyond to Scotland and England. The golf is very good and select holes are truly great.” From The Island: “Confusingly, The Island is no longer strictly on an island, but it does sit on its own peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides. In contrast to other coastal courses in this central eastern stretch, The Island has heaving dunes. Sure, it can be said of so many Irish links courses, especially on the other side of the island, that they have mighty sandhills. But really, these are something to behold.” From Spanish Point: “This is a mature nine-hole links course, established in 1896, overlooking the beach at Spanish Point, halfway between Lahinch and Doonbeg. It’s twice round for a par 68 at over 5,000 yards. And you probably will want to play it twice. Out here, on the Wild Atlantic Way, the longest coastal touring route in the world, this sporty links has two par 5s and closes with two uproarious par 3s.” GOLFLAND IRELAND is the second title from publishing house, Oltomo. The first title is GOLFLAND SCOTLAND.
