Golf Schedule
Ballybunion - Old Course
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.
Waterville
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.
Old Head
Perched atop a cliff in a dramatic portion of Ireland, the links at Old Head is one of the world’s most discussed courses as golfers appreciate not only its magnificent beauty but also the diverse strategic options in ever-changing winds. The par-5 No. 17, ‘Lighthouse’ requires golfers to challenge the rugged coastline - or play conservatively and deal with a blind approach. The home hole is a daunting dogleg left par-4 with trouble awaiting on both sides of the fairway.

Tralee
Featuring scintillating views of white sandy beaches with the ruggedly wonderful Slieve Mish mountain range serving as a backdrop, this seaside links in southwest Ireland was the first course American legend Arnold Palmer designed in Europe. Each hole presents another gorgeous vista on a piece of property rich with history. The tower behind the 3rd green dates to the 1190s! And a member of the Spanish Armada ran aground in the 1580s to the right of what is now the 17th hole.
