Characteristics

With the purchase of Doonbeg in 2014, the vision of its new owner, Mr. Donald J Trump, of a truly great links course, immediately began to take shape. The significant task of the redesign of Doonbeg rested with Dr. Martin Hawtree, a 3rd generation architect. Dr. Hawtree had already designed the spectacular course at Trump International Scotland, and with a portfolio that includes Lahinch, Portmarnock, St Andrews and Muirfueld, we know the finished result would be remarkable and it is.

It is located around 40 minutes west of Shannon airport and the layout is characterised by mountainous sand dunes and dramatic sea views. Watch out for the magnificent par-3 14th, the signature hole on the course: it is, truly, one of the best short holes in golf.
