Should be On Everyone’s Bucket List
A wonderful course that should be on everyone’s bucket list. I’ve taken several guests out there in recent weeks and the common feedback is ‘can’t wait to get back’! We are fortunate enough to be members.Reviewer Rating

Cashen in Superb Condition
The Cashen course is in superb condition after its 3 months enforced closure due to Covid 19. The rough has grown considerably which adds to the challenge but the fairways and greens are in superb condition. The Greenkeeper and his team is due huge credit to have the Cashen Course back in ‘fine fettle’ after such a rough winter.(Round played: Jun 2020 - Score: 94 Handicap: 22.6)

Brilliant Course
This course is one of Gods greatest creation marginally assisted by man. The natural fairways, super sand dunes and water features (Atlantic is on your right for many of the holes) makes this a special treat for local and tourist. Add it to your bucket list and if you're a golfer play here make sure you before you die......it will ably prepare you for what God has in store fro golfers in Heaven!!!(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 109 Handicap: 22)

Ballyb back to its best
The Old Course in BB is back to its best after being reopened on St Patrick’s day following its 3month+ Winter sojourn. The fairways are immaculate, the greens are wonderful and slick and it’s playing tough. Enjoy if you get the chance to play it........you will be challenged on any given day depending on the elements.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 106 Handicap: 22.8)

Ballybunion second course a real challenge
The cashen course, Ballybunion second course, is a real treat and a real test of golf. Distance off the tee in this course is not the he key challenge but a few blind holes ensures that positioning on fairways gives you a real chance of a good score. Greens are superb and scenery as you play this course gets better with every hole, culminating with great views on the 16th and 17th and then an interesting 18th back to the clubhouse. Make sure it’s o; your itinerary when you visit the great Kerry links courses.(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 92 Handicap: 21.1)

Wonderful Links
Ballybunion was at its most beautiful this morning in lovely sunny conditions. This course is exceptional and it's more of a golfing experience that a simple game of golf. The beauty of ten waves crashing below the 7th tee box and again along the 11th tee box is something that we can all enjoy no matter how many times you play this course. The greens are in great condition albeit surprisingly a bit slow. Te rough gives everyone a challenge visitor and member alike.......Ten best thing is to avoid it.
