Driving the Wild Atlantic Way, Clubs in the Boot

Travel story

Driving the Wild Atlantic Way, Clubs in the Boot

Kerry and Clare on a seven-day loop

Words by Marcus Santana

Southwest Ireland, Ireland

Ballybunion, Lahinch and Waterville in one week, with the driving being half the pleasure. Rent something with a big boot and go slow.

What we loved

  • Three top-50 links in one loop
  • Scenery between rounds is the trip
  • Warm welcome at every club

Know before you go

  • Weather is genuinely unpredictable
  • Rural driving takes longer than the map says

The verdict

The best road-trip golf on earth.
