BALLYBUNION OLD & CASHEN

The legendary Tom Watson described the glorious links at Ballybunion as “the best in the world”. High praise indeed for this magnificent test of golf, which meanders through massive dunes on the shores of the Atlantic. The Old Course, consistently ranked as one of the world’s top ten courses, features a graveyard by the first tee, which some say is a warning to golfers who breeze through the first five holes only to come face to face with the ever challenging 6th, the fiendish 8th, the par four 11th and the devilishly tricky 15th. Close by, the Cashen Course, with its succession of formidable par fives and breathtaking beauty, amply qualifies as one of the world’s masterpieces.
