The South West of Ireland has some spectacular golf courses and when scheduling a golf vacation that includes Ballybunion, Tralee and Waterville, the schedule must include a stay in Killarney. It is a great location and a fantastic base to play the well-known courses while the town itself is full of charm, excellent food and traditional Irish pubs.

I read with interest the recently published Irish course ratings in ‘Backspin’, an Irish golf magazine. The ratings were awarded by Irish pros, amateurs and the media…and the resulting list makes for some fascinating reading. The biggest surprise to me was Ballybunion being rated 7th in the Links Courses category – I have played there in the past and thought the course was fantastic. I was also interested to see how well the courses in the Dublin area and Northern Ireland fared, especially the links courses which our clients usually prefer to play.

If the Old Couse at St. Andrews is forever the one golf course in Scotland that everyone wants to play at some stage in their lives…then Ballybunion surely holds the same coveted place in Irish golf. I have been fortunate to play Ballybunion a number of times over the years, it is a fine course which really comes to life after you make the turn back towards the clubhouse. LINKS Magazine has a very engaging story on this Irish masterpiece. Click here to view.
