![]() ![]() Unfortunately, two of my favorite things about the old layout are gone. Doonbeg - I'll always call the original Greg Norman course that - sits in a five-star setting with five-star accommodations. I need to see the final tweaks made by architect Martin Hawtree before I bestow such lofty praise. I can't give Trump Ireland five stars just yet. The grass in the rough grabs any club hit half heartedly without the conviction needed and is punished accordingly. It is a tough test of golf with anything wide off the tee punished severely. Great to walk on and play off but not what you expect with a links layout. The fairways are not of the fast running variety, rather they are lush and maintained within an inch of their life. As with a lot of these courses the par 3's are a feature with a couple of tough long ones and a couple of excellent shorter ones.ĭon't get conned into thinking this is a true links test. The course itself is strong as I said before and opens with a very good par 5 with the green set back in a huge dune. It smacks of forcing groups to pay over the top caddy fees and gratuities rather than providing basic services one expects. Particularly with some of the hidden trouble and blind shots. No course guides available for purchase and no hole guides on the tee is also not good enough. ![]() Don't get me wrong, Doonbeg is a very strong golf club but they let themselves down in several ways.įirstly, apparently they have recently relaid up to eight greens which is all very well but if you have to leave the grass on them to the extent that you almost cannot hit the ball hard enough to get it to the hole, tell your upcoming patrons in advance. However, if you are taking the big dollars for golf then you have to deliver for the people paying. From a set up point of view it's all you can ask for with a beautiful clubhouse, first class service and a location to die for.
