Ballybunion Golf Club

WHY IT BELONGS IN THE CONVERSATION

Two Atlantic links. One enduring reputation.

Ballybunion dates to 1893 and has grown into a two-course links club on Kerry’s Atlantic coast. The Old Course and Cashen Course give visitors different ways to experience its dunes. Its enduring appeal comes from the relationship between the ground and the sea, rather than a uniform parkland-style route.

For a first visit, understand which course your booking covers and allow time for the club’s visitor arrangements. The current guidance asks each visiting group to take at least one caddie or forecaddie. Access, seasonal work and tee times can change; the club’s reservations team is the direct source for the round you are planning.

Course Rating and Slope measure difficulty from a specific set of tees; they are separate from course style, tournament history or a golfer’s review score. Where we haven’t verified a current scorecard, we leave those numbers unstated.

For a day on an exposed course, choose headwear for the actual forecast. Merino brings natural comfort; selected WINDSTOPPER® styles add wind protection, while AG11 and AG12 provide waterproof GORE-TEX® construction.
