Trump International Golf Club - Doonbeg

South West Ireland

Trump International Golf Club at Doonbeg offers a golf experience that stands out due to its distinct design features and unique coastal location.

The course, designed by Greg Norman, incorporates the natural terrain, blending into the undulating dunes and rugged coastline of Doonbeg Bay. One of the course’s most unique features is its use of the land’s natural topography, with several holes hugging the edges of the bay, offering a challenging yet scenic layout.

Notably, the 14th hole, a par-3, requires a tee shot over a deep valley to a green surrounded by dunes, making it a visually striking and memorable challenge. Additionally, the course’s clever use of blind shots and risk-reward holes adds to the strategic complexity of the game.

The resort’s hotel provides a luxurious retreat after a day on the course. Guests enjoy spacious suites with stunning views of the course or the nearby beach, along with fine dining options, including the award-winning restaurant that highlights local ingredients. The White Horses Spa offers a relaxing atmosphere with signature treatments, perfect for unwinding. For those looking to extend their visit, the resort’s opulent cottages provide a private and immersive experience, ensuring that every aspect of the stay complements the world-class golf course.
