How do Irish courses stack up against the most spectacular in the world?
Faraway fields are always greener, unless you really appreciate how lucky you are to live and play golf in Ireland.
Rory Ryan, who works as a tour planner for golf tour operator Links Golf Ireland, came back from a golfing trip to South Africa recently and was blown away by the beauty of The Links Fancourt.
The trip also got him thinking of other stunning courses round the world and while there is just one Irish course on the story-map he created to show off some of the world's best destinations, we're sure you can recommend a few equally stunning Irish venues for our overseas readers must play the next time they're over.
