Doonbeg Golf Links Course
Doonbeg, Co. Clare, Ireland
Doonbeg Golf Links plays along 1.5 miles of beach and dunes. The ocean is visible from the green, fairway, or tee of 16 of the 18 holes. The par 72 layout features a single loop of nine holes out and nine back. It plays 6,885 yards from the back tees.
“I have designed the course around the 15th hole, a magnificent par four of 440 yards to a funnel-shaped green surrounded by the highest dunes on the course. Landing a ball on the front edge of the 150-foot-long green, and wondering if it will stop before running off the far end [into perdition], is far more of a challenge to me than the target golf of hitting behind the flagstick from 187 yards and spinning it back six inches.” -- Greg Norman
