Ballbunion Cashen Course

Dramatic and highly challenging links course designed by Robert Trent Jones, set across towering dunes and rugged Atlantic terrain beside Ballybunion’s famous Old Course. The Cashen Course is known for its elevation changes, deep valleys, heavily contoured greens and visually intimidating links landscape. Independent guests are welcome during the main visitor season, with tee times generally available in the afternoons. Availability can vary depending on course scheduling and seasonal maintenance, so advance booking is recommended. A recognised handicap is typically required, though specific limits are not publicly stated. The course is regarded as one of the more demanding links tests in Ireland, particularly in strong winds, and is best suited to confident and experienced golfers. Green fees sit in the premium category, offering access to a distinctive and highly regarded links experience at a lower price point than Ballybunion’s Old Course.
