The Atmosphere

Tom Watson called it one of the finest courses in the world. The Atlantic cliffside holes are among the most dramatic in golf.

Ballybunion Old Course is one of the sacred sites of world golf. Tom Watson, who played it annually for decades, called it one of the finest courses in the world. The Atlantic cliffside holes. Particularly the 7th and 11th. Are among the most dramatic in golf, where the land drops away to the churning sea below. The raw, untouched quality of the links is intoxicating. This is golf as nature intended.
