Dromoland Castle, Clare Hotel

Set among 410 acres of wooded parkland Dromoland castle is uniquely positioned in the depths of the Irish countryside while just 10 minutes from Shannon Airport and 15 miles from Limerick. This 5 * hotel is steeped in history: formally the ancestral home of the O'Brien family for over 1,000 years, the castle underwent major renovations to transform the estate into a luxury resort in 1962. This history is further reflected in the many local attractions with Bunratty Castle, the Hunt Museum and the Craggaunowen project all in easy reach from the hotel. The award-winning Earl of Thomond Restaurant offers a relaxed but elegant dining experience and the Fig Tree Restaurant provides a wonderful variety in dining with a menu and presentation created for a more informal experience. Superb health and leisure facilities include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi with a fully equipped gym in addition to a whole complement of health and beauty treatments to help you relax and unwind while other activities such as clay pigeon shooting, archery and tennis will satisfy the needs of the more adventurous.

Don’t be fooled by the gentle looking landscape, this course still poses a considerable challenge to even the lowest handicapper. Look out for the yawning water hazards and well-hidden bunkers.
