Doonbeg Golf Club – Ireland Golf Tour
Doonbeg Golf Club officially opened in 2002, and was immediately designated as Golf Digest’s “Best New International Course” which makes it a must play on your Ireland golf tour. In 2010 it held the prestigious title of European Golf Resort Of The Year which was awarded by the IAGTO. Two-time British Open champion Greg Norman is the course architect, selected for his incomparable design skill and his “least disturbance” philosophy of routing courses to fit existing terrains. Norman’s layout follows a course designed by nature – 14 of Doonbeg’s greens and 12 of its fairways required no changes but a simple mowing of the grass. The fairways and greens consist of native grasses, including fine fescues, bentgrass, and ryegrass.
Chosen for his “least disturbance philosophy,” The Doonbeg golf site on the grounds of the 5* Doonbeg Lodge was designed by two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman. Spanning 1.5 miles of crescent shaped beach and century-old sand dunes, the course offers views across the Atlantic from the green, the fairway, or tee of 16 of the 18 holes.
Variations in wind speed and direction ensure the course plays differently each and every time. It is expected that an 18-hole round of golf at Doonbeg will take no more than 4 hours and 30 minutes.
