How County Sligo packages work
Sligo sells golf as a links tour. The standard shape is a stay and play trip from a Sligo town or coastal hotel, with rounds across the county's three championship links: Rosses Point, Enniscrone and Strandhill. Because all three sit within easy reach of each other, the county works as a compact links week in its own right, or as a leg of a wider northwest Ireland tour stretching into Donegal and Mayo.
Below is how the main package shapes break down for 2026, where the value sits, and how the three courses fit a trip. Every figure here is a planning guide rather than a quote, since rates move with season, group size, hotel and the courses chosen, and you should always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
Three links, one short drive apart
The case for Sligo is concentration. County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point, a Harry Colt design laid out in 1927 and home of the West of Ireland Championship since 1923, is the headline, set on dunes and cliffs above two beaches with mountain views. Enniscrone is a celebrated dunes links with 27 holes, long rated among Ireland's best, and Strandhill is a scenic links beneath Knocknarea mountain. Three championship courses this close together make for an unusually efficient links week.
A trip or a leg of a tour
Sligo plays two ways. For a focused links group it is a complete short trip: base in or near Sligo town, play the three over two or three days, and enjoy the coast in between. For golfers on a longer Atlantic tour it is a natural leg, slotting between the Donegal links to the north and the Mayo courses to the south. Either way the logistics are simple, which is part of the appeal.
When to go
Target May to September. The longest days and most settled Atlantic weather fall in summer, which gives the best conditions and the firmest links turf. The courses welcome visitors year round, so spring and early autumn can be quieter and better value if you accept more wind and rain, but for reliable links golf the summer months are the pick.
Our take
Sligo is one of the most efficient links weeks in Ireland, precisely because three championship courses sit so close together. Anchor on Rosses Point, add Enniscrone and Strandhill, and base near Sligo town so the driving stays short. For groups who want serious links golf without the long transfers of a coast to coast tour, it is hard to beat.
Our advice is to fix the dates to summer for the best links conditions, book the three rounds together, and confirm everything directly before committing. Our County Sligo golf hub, our County Sligo golf holidays and the wider Ireland destination guide lay out the options, and our team can assemble the stay and tee times, costed to the head, before you book.
