Another of Ireland’s oldest golf clubs, Dooks Golf Links is considered one of the country’s best kept golf secrets. Here your game is accompanied by majestic views of the Wild Atlantic Ocean, the hills of Glenbeigh, the Dingle Mountains and the nearby Reeks mountain range – home to the highest mountain in Ireland. Like all great Irish courses, Dooks Golf Links is all about visual extravaganza together with ample technical challenges. No small wonder the links is loved as a hidden gem of the south-west.
The course spreads out over a group of sand dunes right at the head of Dingle Bay. There are some tightly laid out holes in the front 9 – so accuracy is a must. One to look out for is the par 4 7th, where you will be very much at the mercy of the wind. The closing hole is a long, slightly uphill par 4 – a grand finale to a truly exceptional course.
