Golf Courses
Doonbeg Golf Club
For more than 100 years, people talked about a piece of land near the town of Doonbeg, Ireland, where nature created its own golf course. The land is made up of rolling hills, high on the cliffs along the Irish coast, but flat enough that all that was needed to create a world-class golf course was to lay out the holes and mow the fairways. When Greg Norman agreed to be the architect for this extraordinary site he described it as "the perfect golf links terrain." Located 40 miles west of Shannon International Airport and midway between two Irish shrines—Ballybunion and Lahinch—Doonbeg is poised to become one itself.
Lahinch Golf Club
In 1892, officers of the famous Black Watch Regiment stationed in Limerick came upon a vast wilderness of duneland two miles from the Cliffs of Moher. Being good Scotsmen, they knew at once that they had found the perfect terrain for a golf links. When this came to the attention of Alexander W. Shaw and Richard J. Plummer, prominent officials of the Limerick Golf Club, they at once made enquiries. The result was a second journey on April 9th to mark out an 18-hole course with the assistance of the officers of the Black Watch. Lahinch Golf Club was duly founded on Good Friday, 15th April 1892.
Ballybunion Old Course
The Old Course at Ballybunion is consistently rated among the top ten courses in the world. A magnificent course along the Irish coastline, each hole is a masterpiece of its own, with towering sand hills that come into play on almost every shot. One of Ireland's greatest challenges, it regularly receives accolades from all over the world. Tom Watson wrote: "After playing Ballybunion for the first time, a man would think that the game of golf originated here. It is a course that will test your patience. It is not a course that favors one particular style of play over another, but one that simply rewards good play and good shots."
Old Head Golf Links
Unrivaled in terms of the magnificent beauty and setting of the site, Old Head Golf Links continues to take the golfing world by storm. The brainchild of John and Patrick O'Connor, the Club has developed into one of the most recognized and sought-after golf experiences anywhere on earth. Designed by Joe Carr, one of Ireland's greatest amateur golfing heroes, this course incorporates some of the most spectacular land in Ireland and the Old Head peninsula, a national monument and an ancient royal site.
Tralee Golf Club
The first course in Europe designed by Arnold Palmer, the 18-hole layout spans
160 acres on the western side of Borrowe's Islande, from Poulgorm on the north to the Randy at Barrow Harbor on the south. The opening hole leads to a green overlooking the Long Strand featured in "Ryan's Daughter." Below lies the watery grave of the wreck Onward of Swansea (1877). The course has many scenic and picturesque holes with fine views of the Dingle Peninsula, Mount Brandon, Kerry Head, Ballyheigue, Banna and Carrahane.
