  • Cashen Course Wildlife Guide
    BALLYBUNION GOLF CLUB A hole-by-hole guide to the wildlife and conservation on the Cashen Course FOREWORD Golf is a diverse sport. When played in the right environment, it offers a rare combination of the thrill of competition, coupled with a direct enrichment of the soul. This all sounds very dramatic, but step out onto either the Old or Cashen Courses at Ballybunion and you will immediately understand what I mean. The raw thrill of striking a clean, crisp drive is heightened im- measurably when playing within a spectacular landscape teeming with a seemingly endless variety of wildlife. This wildlife, whether you realise it or not, is making itself known to you throughout your round – from the vibrant colours of wild flowers, the aerial acrobatics and melodious calls of birdlife to the delicate flight of butterflies and the majestic sight of marine life. The term ‘enriching the soul’ may seem over the top but I believe playing a round at Ballybunion is an unforgettable experience – one which provides a true appreciation of the sport of golf and all its facets. Richard Stuttard STRI Ecologist INTRODUCTION Ballybunion Golf Club offers two world renowned golf courses providing an unparalleled golfing experience. Both the Old and the Cashen Courses wind their way through some of the most visually striking and wildlife-rich coastal dune systems in the world. It is testament to the architectural design and management that the golf courses fit almost seamlessly within the extensive dune systems of Ballybunion without taking anything away from their majesty and grandeur. Ballybunion Golf Club, fully aware of the special landscape in which its courses sit, plays a vital role in conserving the landscape into which the golf courses are placed, ensuring perfect harmony between golf and the environment.

  • Southwest Ireland Golf Adventure Doonbeg, Killarney, & Kinsale June 28 - July 9, 2022 Event Details
    Southwest Ireland Golf Adventure Doonbeg, Killarney, & Kinsale June 28 - July 9, 2022 Event Details: We recently had several members ask us to organize a SFGA trip to the Southwest of Ireland and we agreed. After all, if you want to cross the great links at Tralee, Waterville, Ballybunion and Old Head off your bucket list, the Southwest is where you'll have to go! Well, we've had the pleasure of taking our SFGA members all over the world and one of their most popular golf destinations has always been Ireland. Ireland has so many reasons to visit in addition to the golf including the breathtaking landscapes, the witty humor, fantastic cuisine and the music. Even without a drop of Irish blood in your veins, it’s easy to fall in love with Ireland’s charms, traditions, and strong sense of community. You will experience these Irish traditions and more, as this trip combines the perfect blend of golf and sightseeing. And best of all, you’ll have one of the best driver/guides in Ireland who will teach you a bit of Gaelic, discuss Irish history & culture, assist with your bags and chauffeur you around in a private coach for the entire trip. Our trip will take place in July when the weather is typically warmer and the precipitation is considered to be low. It's the best time of the year to visit and the golf courses should be in their best shape. Ireland has become a mecca for golfers and one visit is all it takes to understand why the Emerald Isle is such a magical place.

Many have called it “Pebble Beach on steroids,” and the first glimpse of the crashing waves some 300 feet below will likely affirm that title. The ocean may take its fair share of Titleists, but with one exhilarating and vertigo-inducing hole after another, you’re unlikely to ever notice. Tralee Golf Links In a land with an abundance of awe inspiring settings for golf, choosing Ireland’s most scenic course is a near impossible task. Yet for many, that course is found on a rugged corner of the Barrow Peninsula at the Tralee Golf Club. Arnold Palmer’s first design in Ireland hugs the coast over the front nine, before turning to the dramatic dunesland for the inward half. Many have compared the links at Tralee to California’s Monterey Peninsula, and it isn’t long into the round before the golfer begins to understand why. Waterville Golf Links Developed by an Irish-born American, and seated on a narrow peninsula that is surrounded by the Atlantic on three sides, Waterville Golf Links has quickly earned a loyal group of devotees.

  • Concierge Golf's Course Guides to Three of Top Irish Golf Links Courses Royal County Down, Ballybunion Golf Club & Lahinch
    Concierge Golf Page | 1 Concierge Golf’s course guides to three of top Irish golf links courses Royal County Down, Ballybunion Golf Club & Lahinch Golf Club 16th Hole at Royal County Down Concierge’s golf guide Royal County Down The following are my thoughts on how I would suggest to play Royal County Down golf course. • The bunkers are deep and the heather growing in the rough is thick & nasty. There are a number of blind shots off the tee and trust your caddy tee shot lines. • Hit the ball to areas that you can see and this should reduce the amount of possible lost balls. I recommend hiring a caddy playing golf at Royal County Down. • In general the greens are pretty good and not really undulated for a golf links course. I would suggest looking at both sides of the hole before identifying the line of the put. But play quickly and avoid slow play when doing so. 1st Hole Par 5, 539 yards Smash your tee shot up the right side of the fairway and play for a 100 – 75 yards 3rd shot to the green 2nd Hole Par 4, 424 yards Play for a right centre of the fairway tee shot and hit for the centre of the green. The green is narrow at the front and it’s an easier shot to hold the green whilst playing for the centre of the green. 3rd Hole Par 4, 475 yards Concierge Golf Page | 2 Lay up to the approx. 180 yards out from the green and the left centre of the fairway is good – a good solid second shot is needed to hit the green 4th Hole Par 3, 215 yards Just hit for the centre of the green 5th Hole Par 4, 429 yards Tough tee shot and aim for the left side of the fairway.
