Ballybunion Golf Club
Ballybunion Golf Club, situated in the north of idyllic and serene County Kerry approx 50 Minutes drive from Kerry Airport, is home to two exceptional and challenging links courses, Ballybunion Old Course and Ballybunion Cashen Course.
The world renowned and timeless Ballybunion Old Course is a must play for any golf aficionado, with an almost completely natural design, minimal changes were made by golf course architect Tom Simpson in 1936 which he graciously called “finishing touches” bringing the Ballybunion Old course to what it is today – one of the top courses in the world and regularly rated in the top 10 in Britain and Ireland.
Ballybunion Cashen Course, built in the 1980’s, is a wonderful test of golf from start to finish and requires a high level of accuracy, especially off the tee. If Ballybunion Cashen Course was anywhere else it would receive much more acclaim and interest but it remains largely a hidden gem when having the Ballybunion Old Course as its more famous sibling.
With offers available including a round on each of the courses, playing the 36 holes at Ballybunion Golf Club is a challenge that should be accepted when opportune and playing both courses on the same day is a popular option.
