Monday - 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: Teach de Broc: Standard Room -
including Irish breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers) Tuesday -
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: Teach de Broc: Standard Room - including Irish
breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers) Wednesday - 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: Links Lodge Guesthouse: Standard Room -
including Irish breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers) Thursday
- Day 6 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. Overnight:
Links Lodge Guesthouse: Standard Room - including Irish breakfast (2
Rooms, 4 passengers) Friday - Day 7 Today play Doonbeg Golf Club . 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.

Irish breakfast (2 Rooms, 4 passengers) Saturday - Day
