Can we play it?

Yes, any day of the week in season, paid in full up front. Men need a handicap index of 24 or less (women 36), and each group must take at least one caddie. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitors Monday to Sunday in season (27 April–16 October in 2026). Play is in fourballs; smaller groups are paired up.

  • The catch

    Full prepayment. Cancel inside 60 days and there's no refund, only a move to another date in the same year.

  • Our tip

    Book early for September: The Irish Times reports 10–25 September 2027 is already sold out. Doonbeg is a 30-minute drive south.
