Old Course - Ballybunion
18 holes, 71 par, 6593 yards. Links.A name in golf that needs no introduction, this is a true seaside links golf course, located on the Shannon estuary. It encapsulates the surrounding landscape beautifully to make the golf course look as if there has been no man-made influence. Golfers are intimidated off the tee as they are greeted by undulating fairways lined by dunes covered in long grass. There is a huge amount of variation in the layout with golfers experiencing numerous stances and lies, which make iron play difficult.
