Hotel

The 19th Lodge is enviably located directly opposite Ballybunion’s famous links, former venue of the Murphy’s Irish Open and a course described by five-time Open Champion Tom Watson as the best test of links golf in the world!

The lodge’s owner has taken great care to create a warm, homely environment which specifically caters for golfers. The guest bar includes golf storage and a drying room. The guestrooms afford views of the Ballybunion Old Course and of the dramatic coastline of Southwest Ireland.

Visitors to the Lodge can also also enjoy Adare Manor, a favourite of Tiger Woods, and the Arnold Palmer-designed Tralee. The 19th Lodge is less than an hour’s drive from Shannon Airport and ideally placed for touring North Kerry.

Local Area

The village of Ballybunion’s sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs make it a popular summer destination for families. Dolphins can sometimes be spotted in the waters off the coast, while the rolling Atlantic waves are popular with surfers. The village has many pubs and amusement arcades. Each year it hosts the Ballybunion International Bachelor Festival in June, a week of music, drink, games and craic.

The lively market town of Listowel, which is only nine miles away, holds a seven-day horse racing festival in September. It also hosts Writers’ Week, an annual literary festival, in June.

Every August nearby Tralee holds the world famous Rose of Tralee festival in which a young woman is chosen as best matching the attributes laid out in the song – ‘”lovely and fair”. It is a beauty pageant with a difference, containing no swimwear section and instead focusing on overall personality. It is billed as a celebration of young women’s “aspirations, ambitions, intellect, social responsibility and Irish heritage”. Whatever your preferences, Kerry and Ballybunion offers a fantastic holiday destination for visiting golfers.
