Doonbeg Golf Course ☆ Follow

Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, formerly Doonbeg Golf Club, is a traditional links-type course situated to the north of Doonbeg in County Clare, Ireland. Designed by Greg Norman and opened in 2002, the par-72 layout features a single loop of nine holes out and nine back, playing 6,885 yards from the back tees. The course spans 1.5 miles of crescent shaped beach and century old sand dunes along Doughmore Bay. The golf course has an unusual combination of five par 3s and five par 5s.

Redesigned in 2016 by acclaimed links architect, Dr. Martin Hawtree, the course at Trump Ireland is one of the top golf courses in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The natural awe-inspiring dunes, wind speed and direction cause the most thrilling of challenges demanding golfers to constantly rethink their game. From the back tees the course is an absolute bear with virtually no forgiveness outside the fairways due to the marram grass that makes finding your ball difficult and playing it nearly impossible.

The signature 18th hole is a 432-yard par 4 that bends right before curling back left, with a sandy beach some 10-15 feet below the fairway and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The opening hole at Doonbeg is one of the best in Ireland with a green site resting in an amphitheater of grass covered dunes. In 2022, Golf Digest listed it as the ninth-best course in the Republic of Ireland. The prestigious Amgen Irish Open will be held at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, scheduled to take place from September 10-13, 2026.
