What The Club Says
It is a course that will test your patience. It is not a course that favours one particular style of play over another, but one that simply rewards good play and good shots. For example, the 8th is only 155 yards and plays almost straight downhill, yet you must hit your shots within a 10 to 12 yard area or face a bogey.., or double-bogey. In a wind, it’s one of the most demanding shots I’ve ever faced. And that’s the character of the course. The 11th, a 446-yard par 4 perched right on the seaside cliffs, is one of the toughest holes in the world.

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)

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)
