Ballybunion

The very name Ballybunion Golf Club, strikes a chord with golfing enthusiasts around the globe. Ballybunion overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, is a 6029 metre, par 71 course. It is ranked #18 on the world ranking of Top 100 Golf Courses.

The Old Course at Ballybunion is a true seaside links, virtually treeless with a distinct lack of man made influences. The contours on the fairways and greens are what make Ballybunion a great golf course. It is a course that will test your patience. It is not a course that favours one particular style of play over another, but one that simply rewards good play and good shots.

The sister course is the Cashen course and is built on what Jones called "the finest piece of links-land that I have ever seen, and perhaps the finest piece of links-land in the world." This is a mammoth overstatement, but nevertheless, the course offers all of the elements of fine links golf: soaring dunes, inspiring vistas, lucky and unlucky bounces and rolls, plus a true test of every aspect of one's game. Since the course can be played in a cart or as the English say a buggy most people will wish to play both courses in the same day if tee times available.

Take a moment to appreciate what Ballybunion has to offer.
