Doonbeg Golf Club is located on the coast of county clare the course over looks a beutifull beach. Its tough links course and uncompromising, the Standard Scratch Score of 74 gives an indication that this course, though just over 6,800 yards, is not easy but typical of the superb links courses available in Ireland. The site at Doonbeg was originally proposed as a golf links in the late 19th century by Scottish Guardsmen stationed in Ireland. Though superior to the other site mooted, Doonbeg was considered too far from the railway station - and so they built their golf course at Lahinch and founded Lahinch Golf Club instead.
The owners of Kiawah Island golf resort own the golf resort. Greg Norman designed the golf course and is approximatly 20 miles south of Lahinch. The beach is one of Ireland's remotest and beautiful stretches of sand, defining Doughmore Bay.The most memorable hole is the par-3 14th, a short pitching wedge across a deep valley to a green perched on the very edge of the coast line.
