DRUIDS GLEN                    

Druids Glen is often referred to as “ The Augusta of Europe”. The flora and fauna of the Glen provide a colourful backdrop to a magnificent golf course. The classic parkland course features many signature holes and provides golfers with a thrilling golf experience amidst a beautifully manicured landscape. Druids Glen hosted the Irish Open for 4 years from 1996-1999 and The Seve Trophy in 2002.

ROYAL COUNTY DOWN

Royal County Down Championship Course is consistently rated among the world's top ten courses. Laid out beneath the imperious gaze of the Mountains of Mourne, Royal County Down enjoys a magnificent stage like setting as it stretches out along the shores of Dundrum Bay.

KILLARNEY GOLF & FISHING CLUB                         

Killen: The jewel in the crown, re-opened in 2006 offering both spectacular lakeside scenery and also challenging golf to long hitters with water features on nearly every hole and fast greens. Nick Faldo, on winning the first of his two successive Irish Opens in 1991, was one of only three players to finish under par. That was before the changes in 2006 which will provide an even tougher challenge.

Mahony’s Point: The shortest of our three courses is a lakeside course with spectacular views including the famous, breathtaking 18^th described by Gene Sarazen as “one of the most memorable holes in the world.” This would be considered to be the course most suited to all levels of golfer. It is the shortest of the three courses with wide fairways and large flat greens. However well positioned the bunkers and water hazards ensure that there is enough danger to spoil a good round.

BALLYBUNION

Having been fortunate to have played Ballybunion several times, I thought it would be a simple matter to describe the greatness of this golf links. But finding the right superlatives to describe

Ballybunion is not an easy task, it has so many great attributes. Perhaps Tom Watson describes it best, "After playing Ballybunion for the first time, a man would think that the game of golf originated here. There appears to be no man made influence. Ballybunion is a course on which many golf architects should live and play before they build a golf course. I consider it a true test of golf".

TRALEE

Built by Palmer – Created by Nature. Arnold Palmer may have been commissioned in the early eighties to design and construct the golf course at Tralee but centuries before that, nature created the cliffs, the dunes, the rugged terrain and the wild Atlantic Ocean all of which combined together to make Tralee one of the world’s most scenic and spectacular true links golf courses.
Each hole on this unique golf course offers its own special challenge. A brave heart and steady nerve will be required to tackle the par 5 second, the par 3 third and the par 4 eight. The twelfth, thirteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth have each wreaked havoc with many a fine score on this 6,877 yard course. The treacherous traps and undulating greens all add up to make this a golf course you will want to tackle again and again. 

ST ANDREWS – SCOTLAND  

The essential qualities of the Old Course at St Andrews are the same today as they were when golf was first played over this stretch of ancient linksland six centuries ago.
Natural evolution and man-made changes have re-shaped some of the details, but the tumbling nature of the dunes terrain and the basic challenge presented by almost every hole would still be recognised today by the golfing pioneers who first struck a ball over the land that has become universally known as the Home of Golf. But man has merely tinkered with a few surface details. The natural challenge of the Old Course remains intact, as daunting and rewarding as it has been throughout the history of the game.
