Waterville Golf Links
The Atmosphere
“Charlie Chaplin's favorite Irish escape. Once you've played the back nine along the Atlantic, you'll understand.”
Waterville Golf Links is one of the most remote and rewarding courses in Ireland, set on the Ring of Kerry where Charlie Chaplin spent his summers. The back nine along the Atlantic coast is among the most spectacular stretches of golf anywhere in the world. The Smuggler's Inn nearby serves the best seafood chowder in Kerry. This is golf at the edge of the world.
Rooms Worth Requesting
