Killarney - Killeen

Par: 72 Length: 6474 yards Course designer: Dr. Billy O'Sullivan, Eddie Hackett Venue: Irish Open

The flagship of the three courses at Killarney Golf Club, Killeen is firmly established as a traditional inland masterpiece, surrounded by the lakes of Killarney and some of Ireland's finest scenery. The course is challenging to the best golfers with tight, tree-lined fairways, water featuring on nearly every hole and fast greens. At the Irish Open in 1991 winner Nick Faldo was one of only three players to finish under par.

Killarney - Mahoney’s Point

Par: 72 Length: 6164m Course designer: Longhurst/Campbell

Situated beside the famous lakes of Killarney, Mahoney's Point is the shortest of the three courses at Killarney. With a combination of undulating greens, well positioned bunkers and water hazards, a good score is still to be earned!

Tralee

Par: 72 Length: 6890 yards Course designer: Arnold Palmer

Opened in October 1984, Tralee Golf Course was the first European golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. When he first saw the area upon which his company was to build Tralee golf links, he was ecstatic about the possibilities. "I have never come across a piece of land so ideally suited for the building of a golf course," he said. He later said of his work, “I may have designed the front 9, but surely God designed the back 9.” We think you’ll enjoy it!

Waterville

Par: 72 Length: 7184 yards Course designer: Eddie Hackett, John A. Mulcahy

Waterville Golf Club was founded in 1889 and is still one of the longest Championship courses in Europe off the back tees, some (tees) of which measure up to 175 yards! The classic course is surrounded scenically by the Atlantic Ocean and Kerry Mountains. An indication of the quality of this course is that Tiger Woods and friends usually come here to practice before the British Open each year!

Ballybunion Old

Par: 72 Length: 6598 yards Course designer: J McKenna (1897), L Hewson, T Simpson Venue: Murphy’s Irish Open 2000

"Having played the Old Course in Ballybunion many times since my first visit in 1981, I am now of the opinion it is one of the best and most beautiful tests of links golf anywhere in the world." Tom Watson - 5 time British Open Winner Ballybunion is one of the great Irish links courses, expertly maintained with a fair and challenging design on the North West Coast of Co. Kerry. There are a broad array of shots required with holes having uphill, downhill and side hill lies on the fairways and large sloping greens. The 11th is one of the signature holes, a 446 yard par 4 perched on the cliffs – not for the fainthearted!

Ballybunion Cashen

Par: 72 Length: 6306 yards Course designer: Robert Trent Jones Snr

The Cashen (New) Course at the world-famous Ballybunion offers great links golf set against the coast with great views of the Atlantic Ocean. The course has some narrow approaches to small greens and really requires your iron play to be precise. “When I first saw the piece of land chosen for the new course of Ballybunion, I was thrilled beyond words. I said that it was the finest piece of links-land that I had ever seen, and perhaps the finest piece of links-land in the world. There is no more natural golf hole in the world than the 10th, an outrageously beautiful stretch of God-given terrain.” - Robert Trent Jones
