A landscape full of great contrasts

Galway is full of the incredible natural beauty that the west coast of Ireland is famous for and can be the setting for an absolutely wonderful golfing stay. The stark contrasts of the landscape are reflected in the golfing opportunities, which range from links to parkland courses.
