Golf Schedule
Located on the Southwest corner of Ireland along the “Ring of Kerry” this course routinely lands on lists that ranks the country’s best - and most enjoyable - links. The home stretch will linger as you enjoy a pint in the clubhouse by a warm fire. No. 16 is a dogleg left par-4 while the 17th is a tricky par-3 that demands a precise, powerful tee shot. No 18, known as O’Grady’s Beach, is a par-5 measuring 594 yards from the back tees.
Carved from the earth, amid the dunes beside the ocean, the Old Course at Ballybunion features dramatic changes in elevation. It’s the most famous links in Ireland, in part because American professional Tom Watston, the five-time Open Champion, professed his love for the layout when he hoisted the Claret Jug in 1982. A natural, elemental design it is cut from the same cloth as Pebble Beach or St. Andrews, courses that needed only slight refinement by the hand of men.
It wasn’t until 2002 when Greg Norman, designed this magnificent par 72 links course…carved out of a landscape of grass covered dunes which border the Atlantic Ocean for over 6,800 yards. Offering panoramic views of the ocean and the Irish countryside on each hole, the layout stretches 1.5 miles of crescent shaped beach along Doughmore Bay. In line with Norman’s philosophy of ‘least disturbance, ‘he took the natural route in designing the links out through the sand dunes.
Grass-covered knolls, sweeping contours and natural sand dunes mark this phenomenal links that routinely ranks among the top 100 courses in the world. Blind tee shots are unforgettable, and hiring a caddy is strongly recommended to help navigate Lahinch. Any course that claims three masters of architecture such as Old Tom Morris, Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Open Championship course doctor Martin Hawtree is one that must be experienced and savored like a nip of Jameson’s or a pint of Guinness.
