| Day 4 | GOLF AT WATERVILLE & Killeen house dinner This morning drive to the tip of the Ring of Kerry for today’s round of golf at Waterville. This course of 7,234 yards makes it one of Europe’s longest and toughest links. The feature holes are the par-five 11th which runs for 487 yards along a rugged valley and the par-three 17th with a tee poised above the landscape. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on three sides, the prevailing southwesterly wind is a factor to take into account. Return to Killarney for some leisure time. Tonight drive to Killeen House, located on Aghadoe Heights with views of Lough Leane and the mountains. This charming little hotel offers a warm welcome and serves wonderful food to ensure you have a great evening. OVERNIGHT: KILLARNEY TOWERS HOTEL, KILLARNEY |
| Day 5 | GOLF AT BALLYBUNION, Foynes Flying Boat Museum & ennis Depart Killarney this morning and drive through County Kerry for today’s round of golf at Ballybunion. Here you have two courses to choose from ‑ both extremely challenging. The Old Course was a great favorite with Tom Watson in the 1980’s and is noted for the massive sandhills which make the course great fun. The New, or Cashen Course was designed by Robert Trent Jones. It has some great holes routed on gigantic dunes and more exposed to the Atlantic breezes and, with a par of 72 on 6,477 yards, is even more difficult. After your round drive east to Foynes to visit the Flying Boat Museum, which recalls the early days of air travel, during the 1930’s and early 1940’s. Irish Coffee was first created here to warm frozen, weary travelers and you will learn how to make a perfect one and then drink it. From Foynes, continue east to Limerick and through the Shannon region to reach Ennis. Check into your hotel and settle in before dinner. DINNER & OVERNIGHT: TEMPLE GATE HOTEL, ENNIS |
| Day 6 | GOLF AT LAHINCH & Cliffs of Moher This morning drive to Lahinch for today’s round of golf. Lahinch has hosted every important Irish amateur fixture and has been in existence for over 100 years. The two most challenging and controversial holes are the Klondyke (5th) with its blind second shot over the sand dune and Dell (6th) surrounded on three sides by steep dunes. This is one of Ireland’s most popular and invigorating courses. Then visit the majestic Cliffs of Moher, a rocky wall that rises nearly 700 feet above the foaming Atlantic Ocean. Travel inland to return to Ennis for some free time. In the evening drive to Bunratty for dinner at Durty Nelly’s Pub which stands in the shadow of Bunratty Castle and has been in business for about two centuries. It is a warren of small rooms and intimate bars with cozy fireplace seats. There is usually a lively “session” of music and the atmosphere is spirited. Return to Ennis for your overnight stay. OVERNIGHT: TEMPLE GATE HOTEL, ENNIS |
