This
is traditional Championship Links. Each hole on this magnificient
links is carved from the natural landscape of one of the most
unspoiled parts of Europe, with hazards laid down long before
the game of golf was dreamt of, including a winding "burn"
that twists and turns through the entire course.
As
you play, the whole panorama of the Dingle Peninsula is revealed
- hidden bays with small fishing villages, glorious hills and
mountains and the Blasket Islands out in the wild Atlantic.
This area abounds in archaeological treasures wild flora and
fauna, arts and crafts and ancient Gaelic culture.
The Irish language is still spoken here.

The
famous Ring of Kerry is located on the Peninsula
of Iveragh. It lies between Dingle Bay and The Kenmare River.
It is 110 miles of gorgeous coastal and mountain scenery, enveloping
the towns of Killorglin, Glenbeigh, Caherciveen, Waterville,
Sneem, Kenmare, and Killarney. This is one of the most spectacular
sites in all of Ireland.
Nearby is the Dingle Peninsula one of three
hilly promontories of County Kerry, with mountains, coastlines,
and beaches. There are many small villages that are still Gaelic
speaking, and have developed their own character. This area
is shrouded in myth and legends, history and literature, and
has extensive prehistoric Celtic ruins with ring forts, beehive
huts and stone crosses.
