The Rine
Set in the Co. Clare countryside with wide views over the Clare Hills and the Shannon Estuary, The Rine (formerly The Inn at Dromoland) is a comfortable, easy-going base for a County Clare golf break. It suits friends' trips and societies down to the ground, but it works just as well for couples' escapes, family celebrations and event weekends.
Inside you'll find modern, well-kept rooms, two relaxed places to eat and drink, a friendly bar and conference and banquet space for larger groups. The newly refurbished leisure centre is a real draw after a day on the course, with a 16-metre swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and plunge pool. Tired legs will thank you.
Staying here also puts you in prime position for the championship golf course at Dromoland Castle, with preferential rates at the castle's luxury spa thrown in. It's a smart way to play a headline course while keeping the overall trip great value. When the clubs are back in the boot, County Clare delivers in spades, from the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren to historic castles and lively towns. Limerick and Galway are both within easy reach if your group fancies a night out or a change of pace between rounds.
Who is this for?
Golfers, societies and mixed groups who want to play Dromoland Castle while staying somewhere relaxed, comfortable and better value than the main resort.
Who is it best for?
Groups who like strong facilities for downtime, a sociable bar for post-round chat and easy options for non-golfers, including spa time and day trips along the Clare coast.

Accommodation at The Rine
The Rine has 123 modern rooms that suit couples, small groups and larger society bookings alike. The feel is relaxed and practical, which is exactly what you want when the priorities are a good night's sleep, a hearty breakfast and an easy launchpad for the first tee. If you're the one organising the trip, the size of the hotel is a real help, with room to spread out and plenty of facilities under one roof, so nobody is left wondering what to do between rounds. Mixed groups are well catered for too, whether you're travelling with non-golfing partners, family members or a society with a wide spread of abilities and interests.
The leisure centre is the standout for golfers. The 16-metre indoor pool is ideal for easing out sore shoulders after 18 holes, while the sauna, steam room and plunge pool make a brilliant reset if the wind has given you a battering. The gym keeps the routine ticking over for anyone who likes to train across a long weekend. It also gives non-golfers a genuine reason to stay put, which makes planning a mixed trip a lot less stressful.
Food and drink are kept simple and sociable. The Whitehorn Restaurant leans on locally sourced ingredients with Mediterranean flavours, a great choice for a sit-down dinner when you've earned it. Shannigan's Gastro Pub is the natural spot for casual bites, a wide selection of drinks and a few pints while the scorecards come out. Expect plenty of replaying of the back nine, and the odd disputed putt.
Location is the big perk. You're close to Dromoland Castle Resort, so it's easy to pair your stay with a round on the championship course and a spot of spa time for anyone not playing every day. Tee times there pair well with a stay at The Rine, especially when booked in advance, and that's where we come in. Our golf travel experts have the legwork covered, from lining up tee times to shaping the itinerary around your group, so you can leave the spreadsheets behind and focus on the golf.
Beyond the hotel, the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren are the headline acts for a rest-day excursion, with plenty of castles and characterful towns to explore along the way. Limerick and Galway are both within easy reach for shopping, dining and entertainment, which is handy if you're travelling with a group that wants more than golf. With our price promise and 24/7 support behind your booking, you can plan with confidence and get on with the fun part.

On arrival we were given a family room with one double and two singles. Not sure why this happened, Your Golf Travel, need to check their booking arrangements. It happened later in our trip and needs sorting. Fortunately, the staff very kindly switched rooms for us. The hotel caters for coaches but they tend to arraive late and are away early and have a restaurant assigned to them, so non-coach residents tend to get directed to the bar for evening meals, which was fine. Food was reasnable both breakfast and dinner. Car charging facilities are available at the hotel. The hotel also has a footpath access into the golf course.
