Tralee Golf Club
Tralee is probably neglected at times due to its close proximity to some of Ireland's most famous courses, such as Ballybunion and Lahinch; a crying shame as it easily holds its own with the top layouts in the country. "I have never come across a piece of ground so beautifully suited for the construction of a golf course," remarked course designer Arnold Palmer of Tralee. What right do we have to quarrel with the King?
Tralee is not only a wonderful golf course, but its breathtaking setting on the coasts of Ireland's "Lake District" will have golfers snapping as many photos with their cameras as they do with their clubs. Get a feel for the course on the milder front nine, which features some of the most breathtaking views conceivable, before moving on to the back nine, where you'll need to bring your "A" game to come out on the other side with a respectable scorecard!
