THE COURSES
Old Head Golf LInks
Old Head Golf Links- hole 17
Old Head GC comprises five Par 5's, five Par 3's and eight Par 4's stretching to over 7,200 yards.
There are six tees per hole. Nine holes play along the cliff tops, and all eighteen holes provide stunning ocean views.
Old Head Golf Links is built on a 220-acre diamond of land, jutting out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. The promontory is almost an island with numerous caves running beneath your feet as you play the course. The links and practice area occupy 180 acres and the remaining 40 acres of unspoilt cliff (rising in places to over 300 feet) frame the course.
Ballybunion Old Course
Ballybunion GC- Old Course: hole 16
Blessed with the most formidable dune structure in Ireland, golf was introduced to the small Kerry town of Ballybunion in 1893. The present Ballybunion Golf Club was not formed until 1906, when prominent town folk commissioned local golf writer Lionel Hewson to design them a new nine-hole course on their spectacular coastal links-land. By 1927 the links had been extended to eighteen holes and in 1936 the club employed Tom Simpson to make further revisions and help shape a great piece of land into a great golf course.
Lahinch Golf Club
Lahinch GC- 'The Dell'
Overlooking the stunning County Clare coastline, Lahinch Golf Club first plays along the sea toward an estuary that dissects the site, before heading back along the main coastal road into town. After a solid opening the first hint of brilliance comes at the 3rd, an awesome driving hole over a large dune slope that turns seaward and follows a succession of humps and hollows into a clever plateau green. Next are Klondyke and Dell, unmistakably "Lahinch", these two Old Tom originals are amongst the most famous holes in Irish golf.
Tralee Golf Links
Tralee GC- hole 8
Although first formed within the town of Tralee in 1896, the Tralee Golf Club now plays on a course built in 1984 and situated along the Kerry coastline at nearby Barrow.
Designed by Arnold Palmer and partner Ed Seay, the front nine at Tralee touches an ocean inlet and rocky shore while the back is carved from an immense dune ridge that tumbles down toward the area's spectacular beach.
The Island GC
The Island is a pure links course located on the outskirts of Dublin. With only a tiny sliver of land connecting the property to the mainland the golf course is surrounded by water. Blessed with a magnificent dunescape The Island is one of our favourite links courses in Ireland
Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg
Doonbeg- hole 18 green clubhouse & beach
Doonbeg is a Greg Norman design on the west coast of Ireland near Lahinch.
When the course first opened it was voted best new course in the world.
However it proved too challenging for many, and it was only when Martin Hawtree softened the courses a little that Doonbeg was able to really impress.
It is now one of the great links courses of the world! (and it has an amazing clubhouse)
Waterville Golf Club
Waterville Golf Links- 7th hole
Located along the Atlantic Ocean, on a peninsula of land bordered by an estuary of the Inny River, the Hackett design included a front side built over less exposed terrain away from the coastal dunes and a back nine that occupied rugged sandhills and touched both the mouth of the Estuary and the Atlantic's shoreline. Opening in 1973, the original Hackett course was the longest in Ireland but oozed old-world charm. It amassed itself quite a devoted and loyal following until sold in 1987 to a small group of Irish Americans who later embarked on what seemed a radical renovation program with architect Tom Fazio.
Portmarnock Golf Club (Old)- (see pic mid page)
Portmarnock is arguably the best Championship Course in Ireland. It has hosted all of Irelands major championships from the Irish Ladies to the Irish Open and also some of the world's biggest events including the Canada Cup( now the World Cup), and the Walker Cup.
Amongst the winners of nineteen Irish Open Championships were Bobby Locke, Sam Torrance, Seve Ballesteros, Ian Woosnam, Bernhard Langer, Jose Maria Olazabal, Ben Crenshaw, Hubert Green, John O'Leary, Mark James, Ken Brown and Michael Campbell.
