Start is wel bijzonder, langs een begraafplaats (out of bounce). De eerste 9 lopen langs het stadje, de tweede 9 zijn erg mooi gelegen langs de kust lijn. Super mooie uitzichten. Lastige smalle holes en zeker even nadenken voordat je speelt. Laatste 2 holes zijn echt de slagroom op de taart. Jammer wel van 1 hole (par 3 voor de heren, par 4 voor de dames) een beetje onoverzichtelijk en onlogisch er tussen gezet. Veel hoogte verschillen op de baan. Clubhuis is gezellig gemoedelijk en kijkt heerlijk uit naar beneden over de laatste hole.


Wel jammer (hadden we niet goed gezien) dat je verplicht een caddy in de flight moet hebben die je cash moet afrekenen.

de eerste hole is al meteen super, rechts van de fairway ligt een begraafplaats en dat is toch wel apart. De holes 2 tm 9 zijn mooi en uitdagend aangelegd maar qua uitzichten niet overweldigend. Daarna is het weer volop genieten van de holes. De baan is ook gebruikt voor de Iers Open en als je dan hoort dan Garcia op de hole waar je par maakt een 7 scoort dan is dat dubbel genieten. Wij moesten verplicht een caddy nemen en hadden daar niet op gerekend en dus geen cash mee, was geen probleem zeiden ze vooraf maar achteraf dus wel. Moesten we naar het dorpje rijden om geld te pinnen. Allemaal niet erg maar toch niet echt gastvrij.

An der Nordwestküste der Grafschaft Kerry, auf einem Areal mit wunderschönen Sanddünen mit Blick auf den Atlantik, finden Sie die zwei herausfordernde Golfplätze von Ballybunion, den Old Course und den neueren Cashen Course von Robert Trent Jones.


Vorweg; Eine Golfrunde auf dem Old Course ist mit dem omnipräsenten Wind und einigem Rough entland der Fairways kann eine wirklich schwierige Herausforderung sein. Wählen Sie beim ersten Besuch eine moderate Teebox, damit der Spass nicht allzuschnell verloren geht. Es beginnt am ersten Abschlag bereits mit der makaberen Kuriosität seitlich über den örtlichen Friedhof zu spielen.


Die sehr fotogene Landschaft mit der atemberaubenden Ausblicken tröstete schnell über den einen oder anderen Fehlschlag, liess mich aber am Schluss der Runde nicht ganz "happy" zurück.


Der von Robert Trent Jones in den 90er Jahren gebaute Cashen Course, der sich entlang der ungestörten Küstestreifens bewegt, bietet überall atemberaubende Ausblicke. Mit einem fairen Preis-Leitungsverhältnis ist eine Runde auf diesem trickreichen Platz sehr zu empfehlen.


Driving Range und Chipping-Green befindet sich auf der gegenüberliegenden Strassenseitn. Da die gesamte Anlage hochgradig auf die Vermarktung ausgerichtet ist, bleibt die Gästebetreuung auf einem bescheidenen Niveau.



On the northwest coast of County Kerry, on an area of beautiful sand dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, you'll find the two challenging golf courses of Ballybunion, the Old Course and the newer Cashen Course by Robert Trent Jones.


First of all; A round of golf on the Old Course with the omnipresent wind and some rough along the fairways can be a really difficult challenge. Choose a moderate tea box during your first visit so that the fun doesn't get lost too quickly. It starts at the first tee with the macabre curiosity of playing sideways over the local cemetery.


The very photogenic landscape with the breathtaking views quickly comforted me about one or two failures, but at the end of the round I was not quite "happy".


The Cashen Course, which was built by Robert Trent Jones in the 90s and moves along the undisturbed coastal strip, offers breathtaking views everywhere. With a fair price-performance ratio, a round on this tricky course is highly recommended.


Driving range and chipping green are on the opposite side of the road. Since the entire facility is highly marketing oriented, guest care remains at a modest level.
