Ballybunion ( Cashen )

Many believe the Cashen was blessed with dunes even more spectacular than the Old course . You ’ ll need to play both to decide for yourself but the wonderful Co . Kerry setting remains the same . The Old has been left relatively untouched , embracing classic links traditions , but the Cashen is a more revolutionary beast . Opened in 1984 , it was designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior , who set greens in positions which demand target golf and not classic bump-andrun approach shots . It matters little … the Cashen is thrill-a-minute golf where you get tossed around as dunes get ever more dramatic . There are blind shots and deep hollows everywhere . The back nine promises epic approach shots and holes 14 to 17 are the pick of the bunch as they find the coastline .
