Favourite Hole: The par four 8th loops gently above
the waters of Barrow Harbour, its undulating fairway
proving deceptive off the tee… its approach even
more so.
What's in the Bag? Your camera and a putter that
needs to be on fire.
Tralee
The links at Tralee is home to some of the best holes in Ireland, as
well as some of the most dazzling scenery. From the high clubhouse
most of the 18 holes are on show and they will take your breath
away. Tralee was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, despite
Palmer’s protestations that “surely God designed the back nine.”
Certainly the perfect landscape of towering, twisting dunes and
deep hollows left little for the designers to do. The run from 12 to 17
is one unbelievable hole after another and the green settings here,
and everywhere else, couldn’t be more enthralling... but putting
surfaces are often steep and swaying so don’t be surprised
if approach shots slip away.
