Lahinch Golf Club - Old Course
Lahinch has been described as “The St. Andrews of Ireland” and many other complimentary titles, but those who know and love the place firmly believe
that Lahinch Golf Club doesn’t need comparison with any of the game’s other world-class venues. From the infant days back in 1892, the Club has
stood out on its own merits as a golfing institution like none other. The Old Course is a true championship links developed from the outset by Old Tom
Morris and followed by Charles “Mo” Gibson, Dr. Alister McKenzie and in more recent times, Dr. Martin Hawtree. It is home to Ireland’s oldest amateur
championship, The South of Ireland, which was first played in 1895. The Old Course is consistently ranked in the Top-50 Golf Courses of the World and
is No. 3 in Ireland’s Top 100 Golf Courses. The challenges presented by the course depend on the diverse weather conditions of the Atlantic Ocean. Many
of the world’s greatest golfers visit Lahinch in preparation for The Open Championship and some have gone on to raise the Claret Jug.

The Southwest of Ireland May 31st - June 7th, 2020 - Old Head Golf Links
Ballybunion Golf Club - Old Course
The most recent changes by Dr. Martin Hawtree, adding tees atop several dunes on the Old Course, have landed Ballybunion on the Top-100 World
Rankings in the year 2018, at No. 16. To the Irish though, this No. 5 course has held a special place in their hearts for centuries. Host to many
championships over the years, this Irish course is a “must-play” if you are in the mood for a true links test.

Waterville Golf Links
When you arrive in Waterville, you can immediately understand why this place was so special to Payne Stewart. A true mystical experience, golf at
Waterville Golf Links is truly unlike any other. The beauty of the classic links land, surrounded by the sea, yet forever challenged and shaped by the
elements. Over 100 years old, this course moved to the No. 3 course in all of Ireland in 2018, and joined the world rankings for the first time at No. 55.
Combining sand dunes, gorse and a myriad of bunkers, this course will leave you feeling a sense of nostalgia, as you wind in and out of the links.

Old Head Golf Links
Old Head of Kinsale is by far one of the most recognizable courses in all of golf. The stunning peninsula, dotted with bunkers and striped with manicured
fairways, offer one of the most majestic scenes the eager golfer can behold. Nevermind the ever-changing direction of the wind, or that in one day, you
could experience all four seasons during a mere 18 holes. The links and practice area occupy 180 acres and the remaining 40 acres of unspoilt cliffs frame
the course. This iconic beauty provides a stern test to the touring pro and the high handicapper alike.

Killeen golf course is what we like to think of as our pièce de resistance here at Killarney Golf Club, and there is very good reason for such a grand
statement. The backdrop to Killeen is something very special indeed and provides golfers with a spectacle that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.
The wonderful lake and mountain views make for a spectacular backdrop to one of the world’s most renowned golf courses. Rory McIlroy, Padraig
Harrington and Graeme McDowell extol the virtues of the dramatic closing holes on the Killeen course.
