A True Irish Beauty

You are about to get a sneak peek at an extraordinary golf community that appears destined to leave golfers and golf writers grasping for superlatives--Doonbeg Golf Club in County Clare, Ireland.

Golfers are treated to idyllic views of the Skivileen River and the Atlantic Ocean.

Even the course designer Greg Norman has found it hard to express his enthusiasm for the area:" .... It's Ireland. It's Irish golf. It's links golf. Sand dunes like you'll never see again, working hand in glove with the environmentalists," he says with obvious passion. "I tell everybody about this course. I tell them that I have got the best site in the world and it's at Doonbeg in Ireland."

Doonbeg is links play at its best, featuring a single loop of nine holes out and nine back. The par-72 course plays along 1.5 miles of beach and dunes with the ocean visible from the green, fairway, or tee of 16 of the 18 holes.

Playing 6,885 yards from the back tees, the course has provides plenty of opportunity to hone your game before setting out with a practice area and driving range, plus a temporary clubhouse and Pro Shop. 

An elevated green overlooks the Atlantic.

The beauty of the area will captivate you as you drive through the countryside glistening with  rolling fields and farm houses. While you're still miles away from the club's private courtyard, you can catch glimpses of the massive dunes and emerald fairways interwoven with stretches of tall marram grass.

One of the chief aims of the Doonbeg's designers is to have the club serve as a "home away from home." Visitors stay in either ocean or links-side suites, have access to the spectacular Lodge and Member Clubhouse, then can tour the country or visit the famous neighboring links courses, Ballybunion and Lahinch.

Rending of the sumptuous Lodge at Doonbeg Golf Club.

"We are intent on making the architecture of The Lodge at Doonbeg Golf Club memorable," says Leonard L. Long, Jr. of Kiawah Development Partners and one of partners at Doonbeg.

"The interiors will be inviting and feature gas fireplaces, custom millwork and classic mantel pieces. And reclaimed oak and pine hardwood flooring, stone floors, and reclaimed antique wooden beams will give the club a warm, comfortable and timeless feeling. We want to set a new standard for luxury accommodations in Ireland."

Member Clubhouse and Lodge
Currently, there is a temporary clubhouse, but in Spring 2006 an elegant Member Clubhouse will open with private dining, locker rooms, members' billiards room and pub, along with suites with 1, 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms. Additional amenities include spa with steam room, sauna, whirlpool, rainshowers, fitness room. Nearby Cottages are also planned.

The Doonbeg Golf Club amenities will be nestled beside the first and eighteenth holes, between the Skivileen River and the Atlantic Ocean.  

The rugged links landscape will provide plenty of challenge.

The largest structure at Doonbeg will be The Lodge which features includes 15 suites. This dramatic building affords sweeping views of the 1st and 18th holes and the Atlantic Ocean.

Two adjoining buildings, housing the six Garden House Suites and seven Norman Suites, help enclose a flower-filled courtyard. The Suites in these grand buildings will offer vistas of the gardens, some stretching to the Skivileen River.
