2. Gateway to Ireland’s Premier Golf Courses
Of course, Ballybunion’s two courses are just across the road—but the beauty of staying at Teach de Broc is that it opens up the whole southwest for you. From our front door, you’re within a short and scenic drive of some of Ireland’s most legendary links. Here’s just a taste:
Tralee Golf Club
Just 20 miles (about 30 km) south of us—less than 40 minutes by car—this Arnold Palmer-designed gem is famous for its dramatic seaside cliffs and wild Atlantic backdrop.
Killarney Golf & Fishing Club
Tucked among lakes and mountains, Killarney is just over 40 miles (around 65 km) inland. Give it an hour or so, and you’ll be teeing off in one of Ireland’s most peaceful natural settings.
Dooks Golf Club
A little over an hour’s spin will bring you to this charming and historic course—about 43 miles (70 km) from Ballybunion, and one of the oldest links in the country.
Doonbeg Golf Club
Head up the coast for roughly an hour and 20 minutes, covering around 33 miles (54 km), and you’ll find Doonbeg—where the Atlantic crashes right up against the fairways.
Lahinch Golf Club
Known as the "St. Andrews of Ireland," Lahinch is a two-hour meander away—just over 50 miles (80 km)—but every step of the journey is scenic. It’s one of those courses people cross oceans to play.
Waterville Golf Links
Want the full Ring of Kerry experience? You’re looking at just under two hours of stunning coastal driving—around 70 miles (115 km)—to reach Waterville, a course that feels like it was carved by nature itself.
Old Head Golf Links
If you’re up for a grand finale, Old Head is a bit further—just over 100 miles (around 165 km) and roughly two and a half hours away—but believe us, playing on that cliffside is worth every bend in the road.
Every one of these courses is within reach, and every journey starts and ends with the comfort and care of Teach de Broc.
