Twenty-one days. Three warm-up links on the Atlantic, the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, then a fortnight of open road and the best golf on the island.
Fly into Shannon, play two of the great links on the way south, settle into Killarney for Ryder Cup week, then take the long way home. The first eight days are taking shape. The last thirteen are still a blank card.
Each square is a day of the trip. Solid means it has a plan, hatched means part of it is pencilled in.
The next calls to make, roughly in the order they matter.
Every course, sight and dinner we've talked about, ready to place. Drag an idea onto a day to pencil it in, or back to the list to drop it. Once something is booked it locks in place, so nothing confirmed gets moved by accident. Tap any card for its website, phone number, contacts and booking reference.
Day three, 08:30. The cliffs before the coaches, then Lahinch.
Twenty-one days from Shannon to the departure gate, built live from the planning board. Entries with a lock are booked; dashed ones are pencilled in. Tap any entry for its details.
Europe against the United States on the parkland of Adare Manor, the first Ryder Cup on Irish soil since The K Club in 2006. Europe arrive as holders after winning at Bethpage in 2025. We're there for all four days, practice round included.
Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 September, five nights at The Ross and return transfers to Adare Manor every day.
Drawn live from the planning board. Scroll through the trip day by day; move something on the board and the route redraws. Faded pins are ideas still on the wish list. Tap any pin for its details.
Thirteen days of open road after the singles.
The bucket-list links, plus hidden gems that give far more golf for the money. Prices are per player: euro in the south, sterling in Northern Ireland.
Green fees are per player for 2026 from club websites and golf directories, plus Royal County Down's published 2027 rate. Hidden-gem prices come from directory listings that often disagree, so they're marked "check" and are worth a phone call. Tap a course for its number.
Racing, festivals, food and music that overlap 13 September – 3 October 2027. Most 2027 dates aren't published yet, so the ones marked "expected" follow the pattern of recent years. Each one is on the wish list too, ready to drag onto a day.
Phone numbers, emails, websites and booking references for everything on the plan. Tap a number to copy it, or a name to edit its details. It updates as soon as either of us adds something.
Castles, cliffs and a few good pints. Each sits within a short drive of a course on the list.
The Ryder Cup package is paid. Everything else is an estimate, priced two ways: a mixed plan of good-value links, or the premium list.
Ryder Cup tickets and accommodation through Carr Travel.
Northern Ireland golf is priced in sterling and converted at £1 = €1.17. It sits outside the estimated total because it only applies if the trip heads north.
A full-size automatic SUV fits two people and two tour bags with room for shopping. Where we pick it up depends on the route for the second fortnight.
