Tucked away behind the airport , this lovely club is a parkland of dark corridors , unforgiving trees and a sweet dose of the Shannon Estuary at the farthest point . The course flows so easily over the level terrain and it is the subtle doglegs and the trees which will test your nerve . Brawn is not always the answer here . The par threes are all strong , especially the long 17th beside the estuary . It is the only hole where trees can ’ t ruin your card … that ’ s left to the estuary , which you must cross .

The Three Sisters watch over this links at that farthest end of the Dingle Peninsula . The hillside that falls away from these three cliff top peaks is home to a low , subtle and very deceptive links , designed by Eddie Hackett ( the back nine ) and Christy O ’ Connor Jr ( the front ). The views may be open , raw and beautiful , but this is a course that demands your full attention . The rough is unforgiving and the burn which slips across eleven holes proves magnetic more often than not . Meticulous course management is required on a crafty links which glides over natural , often unpredictable terrain .
