PGA National Ireland West Coast Links Tour

The PGA National Ireland West Coast Links Tour is a stay-and-play golf package based at the Slieve Russell resort in Ballyconnell, County Cavan. The resort is home to PGA National Ireland, one of only a handful of PGA National designated venues in the world, and it serves as the base from which golfers set out to play a selection of links courses across Ireland’s north-west.

Slieve Russell itself sits within a 300-acre estate and offers an 18-hole parkland championship course, designed by the Irish architect Patrick Merrigan, along with a 9-hole academy course. The par-72 layout runs around the lakes and drumlins of the Cavan countryside and is well regarded among the country’s parkland courses.

Guests staying at the resort combine rounds here with visits to established links venues further west. These typically include two separate courses in County Sligo, the championship links at County Sligo Golf Club (Rosses Point) and the neighbouring Strandhill Golf Club, along with courses in County Donegal. Ballyconnell lies close to the border with Northern Ireland and is under two hours’ drive from Dublin Airport, with Belfast also within reach, which makes the resort a practical base for a touring golf trip.

Anyone interested should contact the resort directly for current itineraries, course arrangements and pricing, as the specific courses and details of the package may vary.
