Golfing In Ireland

Hotels in Ireland are generally reasonable, unless you like to stay first class, then prices are similar to the rest of the world. However for the best experience, and the cheapest, stay in one of Irelands hundreds of B&B's.  Typically prices start at about £25 per night, breakfast included.  It is also a fantastic way to meet the locals and to get the "inside scoop" on the surrounding area.

More often than not  you can arrive on the doorstep and get a room. In the summer months, and especially in the tourist areas (Dublin and Kerry) you may need to book. But, even at these times, and these locations, the local tourist office should be able to make a reservation for you (£1 fee).

So as long as you are not too particular about the exact location of your lodgings, finding accomodation should be a breeze.  Nearly every town in Ireland has at least one B&B. Rooms are always clean, a national board sees to that, and the hosts always friendly.

In conclusion, hotels are more hassle (and more money) than they are worth, so stick to the B&B's for a thouroughly enjoyable visit.
