About this course:
Ballybunion Golf Club’s Cashen Course is a dramatic links layout shaped by coastal terrain and the sandhills tradition of the club. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior and opened in 1982, it asks for precise shot-making from the first tee to the last green. Fairways often turn sharply around corners, while strong winds, high dunes and deep valleys add to the challenge. The course rewards careful placement, controlled trajectory and a disciplined approach off the tee.
Its undulating greens and rugged marram grass create a stern but rewarding test for golfers who value classic links golf. With roots in Ballybunion’s long history, the Cashen Course delivers an uncompromising round where every mistake can be costly.
