Newmarket-on-Fergus, County Clare (8 miles from Shannon Airport).

Dromoland Golf and Country Club has undergone a transformation over the past two years, thanks to an investment of €5 million by the owners. The project, undertaken by the late world renowned J.B. Carr, and one of golf's great course architects, Ron Kirby, has produced dramatic results. Dromoland is one of Europe's finest estates & now has a golf course to equal the splendour of the setting. Visitors to the course have described it eloquently as "the Augusta of Ireland". Already the course has earned a reputation equalling that of Adare and Mount Juliet and the quality of the greens and tees is compared very favourably to the very best worldwide.

Dromoland Castle is one of Ireland's finest castle hotels. It is one of the few castle hotels that can trace its ownership back through history to Gaelic Irish families of royal heritage. The Castle offers its guest's deluxe accommodations and the experience of living like landed gentry, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, absolute luxury and exceptional service. The award-winning Earl of Thomond Restaurant offers a relaxed but elegant dining experience and the Fig Tree Restaurant provides a wonderful variety in dining with a menu and presentation created for a more informal experience. Superb health and leisure facilities include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi with a fully equipped gym in addition to a whole complement of health and beauty treatments to help you relax and unwind.
