KILLARNEY PARK HOTEL
| Description: |
A two-time winner of the Irish Hotel of the Year Award, the Killarney Park is situated in the heart of County Kerry amidst some of the best golf in southwestern Ireland. Relax in the Garden Bar after a day at the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club, feast in the elegant Park Restaurant or test your skills in the Billiards Room over a pint. Killarney Park also boasts a terrific health spa complete with a Grecian swimming pool, sauna, plunge pool, jacuzzi and outdoor Canadian hot tub. |
| Golf Course Name: |
Waterville |
| Description: |
We readily admit that playing a course often billed as the "longest course in Europe" might not immediately appeal to golfers who struggle to break 90 from the white tees at their local clubs. But you do this course a major injustice if you describe it only as "long," although we definitely suggest the medal tees, which measure 6599 yards. Surrounded on three sides by water, this relatively new links course (est. 1973) is certainly one of the most dramatic in the world. The difficult eleventh hole is also considered by many to be the very best par 5 in the British Isles. |

| Golf Course Name: |
Lahinch |
| Description: |
It is hard to go wrong with a course that was designed originally by Old Tom Morris and then tweaked by none other than Alistair MacKenzie (Cypress Point, Augusta National). This course is truly a treat to play. Fun,fair and tough, with spectacular views, the setting in which one finds himself when traveling to this legendary course is worth the trip in and of itself. Called by some the St. Andrews of Ireland, the village of Lahinch inspires golfers from around the world. Like Ballybunion, however, it has also become difficult to obtain tee times at Lahinch, so plan ahead. |

Tralee |
| Description: |
Designed by Arnold Palmer in 1984, Tralee was the newest championship links layout in the British Isles before Kingsbarns opened south of St. Andrews after the 2000 British Open. In his fantastic book Classic Golf Links, Donald Steel compares Tralee to Turnberry and Pebble Beach for its dramatic seaside setting. Some feel the course is too "tricked" up, but it is hard to argue with the view when seven holes run parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, high atop cliffs that will have you watching your step when exiting the tee box. |

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club (Killeen) |
| Description: |
There are two terrific courses at Killarney, Killeen and Mahoney's Point. The setting here is really unique. The club lies on the shore of Lough Leanne next to the mountainous Killarney National Park. We personally prefer the Killeen Course, while Mahoney's Point is considered the better of the two by many of our clients. Although we typically suggest that our clients stick to classic seaside links layouts, Killarney is an exception. Especially when staying in the Killarney area, you must spend a day at this club. |

Dooks |
| Description: |
Often overlooked due to its proximity to the many "big name" courses in the area, our clients inevitably return from Irish trips heralding the traditional links layout at Dooks. Like Lahinch, Dooks isn't too long, provides a unique test for the good golfer and some fun for the high handicapper. If your group has difficulty getting tee times at Ballybunion or Lahinch, don't feel like you're playing a second tier course if we suggest Dooks. You might also want to combine a round at Dooks with one at Dingle to the west. |

ADARE MANOR HOTEL & GOLF RESORT
| Description: |
Set amidst 840 acres of lush County Limerick countryside and just 35 minutes from Shannon Airport, the 18th Century Adare Manor is perhaps the most spectacular property you will ever visit. The Manor is an architectural jewel presiding over formal gardens, ruins dating back over 800 years and a 7,138 yard Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course. Aside from the Manor, Adare has recently opened a number of golf condominiums next to the clubhouse, which are terrific for groups looking for a bit of privacy after a day battling the windy links of Ireland. |

Ballybunion Old Course |
| Description: |
The Old Course at Ballybunion, like the Old Course at St. Andrews, is the single reason many see fit to spend relatively large sums of money on vacations devoted entirely to golf. Considered by most to be among the top ten courses in the entire world, the old layout at Ballybunion is not at all overrated. Tee times have become somewhat tough to obtain, however, so please plan ahead if you intend to play this legendary course. Of note is the new layout, designed in 1984 by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., which we feel is a great course in its own right. |

HOTEL EUROPE
| Description: |
A five-star property in the Killarney region, Hotel Europe is quickly becoming one of our favorite properties. Although the Killarney region is ripe with first-class properties, something about Hotel Europe always seems to make our guests comment favorably upon it when they return to North America. Hotel Europe is especially suited to corporate groups and Americans looking for the same level of luxury they might find at international hotels in London or Edinburgh. |
