Round 1 of 6

Sun, May 16

Waterville

Waterville Golf Links

Set on a narrow peninsula with the Atlantic on three sides, Waterville delivers a spectacular opening round: big coastal views, championship links golf, and a course refined by Tom Fazio. Payne Stewart, an honorary captain whose statue stands near the 18th green, is part of the history at one of Ireland’s most celebrated golf destinations.

Round 2 of 6

Mon, May 17

Dooks

Dooks Golf Club

Framed by Dingle Bay and the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, Dooks is a historic links rich with wildflowers, gorse, heather, and coastal wind. Its welcoming character and spectacular setting make it one of the trip’s most authentic Irish golf experiences—and the club’s Natterjack Toad emblem adds a bit of local personality.

Round 3 of 6

Tue, May 18

Tralee

Tralee Golf Club

Arnold Palmer’s first design in Ireland traces the rugged Barrow Peninsula, with a coastal front nine giving way to a dramatic inward stretch through towering dunes. Atlantic views, surrounding mountains, and the iconic 16th make Tralee one of the trip’s most spectacular—and demanding—links experiences.

Round 4 of 6

Wed, May 19

Ceann Sibéal

Dingle Golf Links

Ceann Sibéal—roughly pronounced “kyown shih-BALE” and meaning Sybil Head—sits at the far edge of the Dingle Peninsula, Europe’s westernmost golf course and one of Ireland’s most remote. The links reveals hidden bays, fishing villages, mountains, and the Blasket Islands in the wild Atlantic—an unforgettable round in the heart of the West Kerry Gaeltacht, where Irish remains part of everyday life.

Round 5 of 6 · Finale I

Ballybunion Old

Old Course

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.

Explore the course

Round 6 of 6 · Finale II

Ballybunion Cashen

Cashen Course

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.
