DAY 4/ Ballybunnion Casheen Course (Old Course)
Ballybunion Golf Club, in County Kerry, is a private members golf club founded in 1893.
After playing Ballybunion for the first time, a person would think that the game of golf originated here. Located on the Shannon estuary, it is a true seaside links course, virtually treeless and a course of sharp contours throughout. There appears to be no man-made influence.
It looks like a course laid out on land back in the 10th century. There is a wild look to the place, the long grass covering the dunes that pitch and roll throughout the course making it very intimidating.
This is a dateless golf course which after playing makes you ask yourself if you've ever played amid quite such surroundings. Rated in the top 100 by Golf Magazine, the vast majority of Cashen's green positions have been copied by many new course designers. Spectacular and supremely challenging, what can never be copied is the majestic landscape and fresh sea air that is distinctly part of the Ballybunion experience.
Home to two unique and challenging links courses – The Old Course and The Cashen Course, visitors from around the world have been visiting the club for many decades. The Old Course was established in 1893, while the Cashen Course was established in 1984. The Old Course requires shot-making, placement and trajectory control.
DAY 5/ Dingle Links Course - Ceann Sibéal
Our beautiful links course is set in breath-taking scenery on the Dingle Peninsula along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Originally designed by Eddie Hackett, the links has naturally undulating fairways coupled with a meandering stream in play on 13 of the 18 classic links holes. The course offers the perfect combination of playability and difficulty depending on which tee you play from, and our fescue greens are up there with the very best in the country!
Our course improvement programme over the last 3 years has seen us climb up the Top 100 rankings of courses in Ireland. Come and enjoy playing Dingle Golf Links Ceann Sibéal - a true test of links golf.
DAY 6/ Killarney Course
Killarney Golf & Fishing Club was established in 1893 and is one of the oldest clubs in the country.
Nestled amidst the serene splendor of the famous Lakes of Killarney and in the shadow of the majestic Macgillycuddy‘s Reeks, the club’s Championship courses are set in a 25,000 acre National Park.
At 7,252 yards from the Championship tees, the Killeen course is amongst the most challenging in the country.
The beauty of the natural setting is matched by the treachery of the layout with water in play in virtually every hole.
At 6,800 yards, Mahony’s Point offers golfers a more relaxing round from a scoring perspective, though with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers, combined with vast undulating greens, the course still possesses plenty of potential trouble for even the most skilled golfer.
DAY 7/ Dooks Golf Club

Set on 230 lush acres of the Adare Manor Estate, Adare Manor Golf Club was originally designed by legendary golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones Sr. and offers a magnificent parkland layout.
