Ireland – home to the Ryder Cup & incredible value golf

With all eyes on Ireland , the venue for the Ryder Cup 2006 is highlighting the incredible value golf on offer. The fantastic conditions and facilities which swayed the Ryder cup committee are commonplace in Ireland – and at great prices.

The development of 24 Value Golf Passes, covering 75 courses, has meant that golfers can play incredible courses and discover some of the lesser known gems.

The Northern Ireland Golf Pass is being launched at the London Golf Show 2006. Choosing from 7 courses, including the Hilton Templepatrick and Galgorm Castle , golfers can purchase 3 rounds of golf for £70, or keener players can purchase 5 rounds for £110. This pass can save up to £45 on normal green fees and also absorbs any of the confusion of booking Green Fees, as these are all arranged by Leisure Golf.

The ‘Take 3' pass covers three of the most stunning courses in the South West of Ireland. Play Castleisland, Ring of Kerry and Skellig Bay for just €130 – challenging courses within spectacular scenery. Overleaf, there's a full listing of all the value passes available across the country.

In September 2006, The K Club plays host to the first ever Ryder Cup to be held in Ireland . As the third biggest sporting event in the world, the Europe vs USA battle is watched by over 1 billion viewers. This is the largest event of this kind ever held in Ireland , and everyone involved is determined that it will be one of the best Ryder Cups ever.
