Play at Doonbeg:
The newest addition to Ireland’s collection of storied links courses having opened in 2002. The course is located between Lahinch and Ballybunion on the west coast. Originally identified by the Black Watch Regiment as the preferred site for their course in the 1890’s, it was overlooked in favor of Lahinch due to superior railroad access. Greg Norman has designed a magnificent links course, carved out of a landscape of grass covered dunes which border the Atlantic Ocean. Each of the holes offers wonderful panoramas of the ocean and the Irish countryside.
Today in free time you may indulge yourself in sightseeing in County Clare. Overnight stay at the lodge in Doonbeg Golf Club.
- Day 3: Play at Lahinch:
Originally designed by Old Tom Morris and later modified by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and most recently Martin Hawtree, the course has a vast array of grass covered knolls and sweeping contours. Optimal use is made of the many natural sand dunes, notably at the par three 5th hole, “The Dell”, where the green is completely hidden from the tee. Lahinch is the permanent home to the South of Ireland Amateur Championship.

Ireland’s most famous course and consistently rated amongst the world’s finest. Perched on a sandy cliff top, it makes its way through dunes and valleys with dramatic changes in elevation. The greens are often perched on mounds or carefully sheltered between sand dunes.

- Day 5: Play at Tralee:
This is the first Arnold Palmer designed course in Europe. Opened in 1984, this traditional links course has matured into a fine test of golf. The course works into the dunes and brings the exposed coastline into play, offering wonderful views from Barrow out to Fenit Island and the Atlantic.
