"I have never come across a piece of land so ideally
suited for the building of a golf course. I am happy we have
one of the world's great links here" - A. Palmer.

Built by Palmer - Created by Nature! Arnold
Palmer may have been commissioned in the early eighties to
design and construct the golf course at Tralee but centuries
before that, nature created the cliffs, the dunes, the rugged
terrain and the wild Atlantic Ocean all of which combined
together to make Tralee one of the world's most scenic and
spectacular true links golf courses.
Beauty abounds with Barrow Strand of Ryan's
Daughter fame only an errant chip away and the Sliabh Mish
and Brandon mountain ranges providing a panoramic and spectacular
backdrop.
Each hole on this unique golf course offers
its own special challenge. A brave heart and steady nerve
will be required to tackle the par 5 second, the par 3 third
and the par 4 eighth. The twelfth, thirteenth, sixteenth and
seventeenth have each wreaked havoc with many a fine score
on this 6,877 yard course. The treacherous traps and undulating
greens all add up to make this a golf course you will want
to tackle again and again.
After all that exhilaration you will want
to sit back, relax, enjoy a long drink, some wholesome food
and behold the panorama that is all around
you. You will know you deserve it.
