County golf guide
Kerry
Kerry is one of Ireland's premier golf counties, with famous links, coastal scenery, mountain backdrops, and courses that are central to many Irish golf trips.
The county has a rare concentration of big-name golf, from Ballybunion and Tralee to Waterville and Dooks, supported by strong parkland and resort options around Killarney and beyond.
For golfers planning a serious trip, Kerry is one of the counties that sells itself. For open competitions, it is worth watching closely because even a single visitor-friendly listing can offer access to a memorable course.
Must play
Ballybunion Golf Club
Ballybunion is Kerry's must play, a classic links course with towering dunes, history, and a reputation that makes it one of the great names in Irish golf.
Recommended
Dooks Golf Club
Dooks is a recommended stop for golfers who want scenery, charm, and links golf with a slightly gentler, more welcoming feel than some of the famous championship tests.
