Round 6 of 6 · Finale II · Killarney, Ireland
Ballybunion Cashen
Cashen Course
Course overview
Two courses. One final day.
The trip’s final 18 is no victory lap. Cashen explodes across dunes even more dramatic than those of the Old Course, its Robert Trent Jones routing surging from the Cashen River to the wild Atlantic and back through towering inland corridors. Fresh from a course-wide renovation by Team Niblick and Tom Watson Design, it now pairs heroic scenery with more strategic approaches, a revived ground game, and a stronger connection to the ocean. The rough diamond has been polished—and this is one ferocious final chapter.
The 36-hole finale
The other eighteen.
The entire trip has been building toward this. Ballybunion Old is the crown jewel—an exhilarating, wind-shaped journey through towering dunes and unforgettable holes along the Atlantic. The graveyard beside the opening fairway sets the tone, but the course keeps escalating toward the legendary 11th, a seaside par-4 Tom Watson once called the best in golf. This is the round that will define the trip.
