The first course in Europe to be designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, Tralee has matured into a classic links that belies its relative youth.
There are two distinct nines, the first playing closer to the sea and being on more open ground.
The second nine is set in much taller sand dunes and plays more up and down – occasionally a wild experience, but great fun. “I designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine,” is how Palmer sums it up.
Often said to be the most picturesque course in Ireland, Tralee naturally offers fantastic views. SP
+ Spectacular; wild and beautiful; excellent par 3s
- Possibly too tough for some; slightly unnatural fairway contouring

When I was lucky enough earlier this year to go to Ireland and play four top quality courses, this one for me just happened to be my personal favourite! I thought the whole club and course was, from start to finish, and top to bottom, one hundred percent pure quality, awesome! Had an unbelievable reception and was made to feel right at home, even if some of the boys dress was a little extravagant! This for me would be the one that I would 'bust a gut' to go back and play, this is the one above all others that I would recommend you play if you go anywhere near there!! Well worth the extra money!! What a course and a layout, superb!!
