Ballybunion – Old Course


Located by the Atlantic Ocean, Ballybunion has two traditional links golf course’s, with the most challenging being the Old Course, a supreme test of golf. If you are a more amateur golfer and there’s a gentle breeze blowing, you may score well. However, if there’s an onshore gail blowing you may as well forget scoring well and just simply try to enjoy this exhilarating golf course.
