Day 3
 Play
Tralee , the first Arnold Palmer designed course in Europe. Opened in
1984, this traditional links course has matured into a fine test of golf. The
course works into the dunes and brings the exposed coastline into play, offering
wonderful views from Barrow out to Fenit Island and the Atlantic.
Overnight: The 19th Golf Lodge: Standard Room - including Irish
breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)
Day
4
 Play the Robert Trent Jones, Sr designed Ballybunion (Cashen
Course) . Every bit as scenic as the Old Course, the Cashen meanders through
the same sand dunes that were carved out by nature. The greens on this course
are awkwardly small, making it a good test of golf in any conditions.
Overnight: The 19th Golf Lodge: Standard Room - including Irish
breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)
Day
5
 Today play Ballybunion (Old Course) , Ireland's most famous
course and consistently rated amongst the world's finest. Perched on a sandy
cliff top, it makes its way through dunes and valleys with dramatic changes in
elevation. The greens are often perched on mounds or carefully sheltered between
sand dunes.
Overnight: Lahinch Golf & Leisure Hotel: Standard
Room - including Irish breakfast (1 Room, 2
passengers)
Day 6
 Today play Doonbeg . The newest addition to Ireland's
collection of storied links courses having opened in 2002. The course is located
between Lahinch and Ballybunion on the west coast. Originally identified by the
Black Watch Regiment as the preferred site for their course in the 1890's, it
was overlooked in favor of Lahinch due to superior railroad access. Greg Norman
has designed a magnificent links course, carved out of a landscape of grass
covered dunes which border the Atlantic Ocean. Each of the holes offers
wonderful panoramas of the ocean and the Irish countryside.
Overnight:
Lahinch Golf & Leisure Hotel: Standard Room - including Irish
breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)
Day
7
 Play Lahinch . Originally designed by Old Tom Morris and
later modified by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and most recently Martin Hawtree, the
course has a vast array of grass covered knolls and sweeping contours. Optimal
use is made of the many natural sand dunes, notably at the par three 5th hole,
"The Dell", where the green is completely hidden from the tee. Lahinch is the
permanent home to the South of Ireland Amateur Championship.
