Where Tradition Meets the Atlantic Wind
The Hawes Partners Hickory Golf Tour of Ireland
&
The Irish Hickory Golf Challenge
September 20 – October 3, 2026 | Ireland & Northern Ireland
The game of golf was born on windswept ground like this.
Rough dunes. Rolling fairways. Salt in the wind. A sense of timelessness in every shot.
Join us for an extraordinary journey through Ireland and Northern Ireland—where we play the game as it was meant to be played: with hickory-shafted clubs, imagination in every swing, and camaraderie at the heart of every day.
This is not a bucket-list trip. It is the beginning of a relationship—with Ireland, with the land, and with the game itself.
Tour Dates
Hickory Golf Tour: September 19-28, 2026

What Makes This Experience Different
Modern golf is about power and distance.
Hickory golf is about creativity, rhythm, and feel.
We slow the game down—
to pay attention to the ground, the wind, the strategy of angles, and the joy of shared fairways.
And we pair it with:
• Authentic Irish hospitality
• Music sessions in small local pubs
• Whiskey tastings where the whiskey is made
• Coastal villages untouched by mass tourism
• Storytelling, laughter, heritage, and the craic
This is where golf becomes an experience—not just a game.
What Makes This Experience Different
We journey along the path less taken, exploring Ireland’s northwest coast—where the scenery is wild, the welcome is warm, and the golf is pure.
Stops Include:
• Dublin – Arrival and welcome reception
• Belfast – History, culture, and city life
• Donegal Coast – Rugged, windswept links and small seaside towns
• Sligo & Rosses Point – Yeats country and Atlantic cliffs
• Fermanagh Lakes – Slower pace, storytelling, hospitality
Each course chosen is:
• Strategic, walkable, and ideally suited to hickory play
• Known for character, not scorecard yardage
• The kind of course that stays with you
Who Should Come
This journey is designed for:
• Hickory golfers
• Spouses & non-golfing guests
• Adventurers, storytellers, lovers of Irish culture
• Golfers who believe the game is best played with feel and friendship
