The Guinness Tramore Golf Classic is one of the most well established and popular golf classics in Ireland.

For many years, it has welcomed players from all over the world including United States, Hong Kong, Sweden, Germany, Holland as well as many friends from across the water in England, Scotland and Wales and of course there are many who travel to the Sunny South East from other parts of the country too.

But what makes the Guinness Tramore Golf Classic so special?

It is probably a combination of a lot of factors - top class courses, superb accommodation, the many choices of restaurants in and around Tramore and of course the excellent Guinness on tap throughout the pubs around the town!!!

But perhaps what sets the Guinness Tramore Golf Classic apart is the camaraderie and friendship that exists amongst the participants.For many returnees, it is the chance to renew old acquaintances as well as meet new people and make new friends.


The Guinness Tramore Golf Classic 2008 is bigger and better with a new website, online booking as well as excellent Waterford Crystal prizes.

As well as the overall team prize, there are daily prizes and even an international challenge!!
