Doonbeg, Co Clare. Located on the southwest coast of Ireland only 45 minutes from Shannon Airport.

Doonbeg Golf Club, designed by two-time British Open champion Greg Norman, is situated on a truly remarkable site near the tiny parish of Doonbeg in County Clare, Ireland. The course, a true links that will test a golfer's skill and bravery, has won accolades from golfers and media worldwide. Doonbeg Golf Club plays along 1.5 miles of beach and dunes. The ocean is visible from the green, fairway, or tee of 16 of the 18 holes. The par 72 layout features a single loop of nine holes out and nine back. The rolling seaside dunes of Doonbeg were first identified by the founding fathers of Lahinch as having potential for a golf course, as early as 1892.

The officers of the Scottish Black Watch Regiment had searched far and wide for the perfect coastal site and as legend has it, the dramatic links land of Doonbeg was their first choice. Lahinch was chosen due to transportation issues and rail services of the time and so was born Lahinch. Due to 19th century economics, Doonbeg would have to wait for another 100 years for its potential to be tapped. Despite Doonbeg Golf Club only opening for general play in 2002 it is already recognised as one of the world's links gems and plays like a golf course that was built 100 years ago. Greg Norman says ""This is a course I want to be identified with, one I will be able to say with pride, ' I did that one.' I am the luckiest designer in the world . . . because of the uniqueness of the site."
