Tralee Golf Club

Tralee Golf Club is a coastal golf course in County Kerry that stretches across natural dunes with each hole positioned to incorporate views of the Atlantic Ocean and mountains. The layout features a practice academy, driving range, and pro shop to serve players of all abilities.

Arnold Palmer designed this seaside course in 1984 as his first golf course in Europe, paying close attention to the natural landscape. His vision shaped how the land's features were woven into the course layout.

The course serves as a meeting place for golfers from the area and beyond, hosting regular tournaments and events that draw players together. These gatherings shape the club's social calendar and connect people through their shared passion for the game.

The course plays best in dry weather, as the open dunes and exposed terrain mean wind is a constant factor. Visitors should bring wind-resistant gear and be prepared to adapt to changing conditions.

Several holes work medieval castle ruins and ancient fortifications directly into the course design as natural obstacles. These historical remains add an unusual layer to the golfing experience.
