Our story

Out2Golf Ireland is run by a volunteer committee of golfers who wanted a welcoming, inclusive place to enjoy the game. We are a non-profit, volunteer-led society that exists to promote inclusive golf.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the sport of golf, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our group offers a fun and friendly environment where you can meet new people, improve your game, and enjoy the great outdoors with other LGBTQ+ golfers and allies.

First time playing with us?
Many of our members attend their first event alone. You don’t need to know anyone, and you don’t need to be a low-handicap golfer — just turn up, you will be welcomed, be yourself, and enjoy the golf.

Any questions before the round, feel free to email us, click the join us page

Privacy

We respect members’ privacy at all times. There is no requirement to be “out”, and we never share personal details or photos without consent.

Our Members

Our members are from all over the 32 counties, and range from beginners to single figure players!

We pride ourselves on being all-inclusive, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or culture.
