Tralee Golf Club

PAR: Men 71/Ladies 72 - LENGTH: 6,975 YARDS
Designed in the early 1980’s by Arnold Palmer on 160 acres on the western side of Barrowe’s Island. The scenery hits you from the moment you get to the first green which overlooks the Long Strand featured in the film Ryan’s Daughter. As you continue around the course, you get some fine views of The Dingle Peninsula and Mount Brandon. This stunning setting represents a true paradise for those willing to challenge what is widely acclaimed as one of the finest links courses in Ireland.

Waterville

PAR: Men 72/Ladies 73 - LENGTH: 7,225 YARDS
The first game of golf played in Waterville can be traced back as far as 1889. Situated on a remote strip of land that separates the Atlantic Ocean and the stunning Lough Currane, it is arguably one of the finest settings for a golf course. In 2015 Golf World UK listed Waterville as the number 1 Golf Course in Ireland and with good reason. Golf Architect, Tom Fazio is credited with remodelling the course and developing further its challenge and beauty.

Killarney Killeen Course

PAR: Men 72/Ladies 74 - LENGTH: 7,252 YARDS
Located on the banks of the world-renowned Lakes of Killarney and surrounded by the Killarney National Park, the Killeen Course offers an enticing challenge to its guests with water features near every hole. Killeen has played host to the Irish Open on four occasions. A chance to play this course and enjoy the spectacular lakeside scenery is an opportunity not to be missed.


Old Head Kinsale

PAR 72/ LENGTH: 7,100 YARDS
Surrounded by views on all sides this is one of the most spectacular courses in Ireland. It opened in June 1997 to international acclaim. The cliff edges have been fully incorporated into the design so that no less than nine play along the edge of the peninsula. The fluid and changing sea breezes on the Old Head, par 72, presents a vigorous challenge to any golfer worth his salt.
