Dooks Golf Club

Dooks Golf Club, nestled in the scenic beauty of County Kerry, Ireland, represents one of the true hidden gems in the world of links golf. Established in 1889, it is one of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland, offering golfers a slice of history alongside a uniquely charming and challenging golfing experience. Located near the majestic MacGillycuddy's Reeks and bordered by the stunning waters of Dingle Bay, Dooks provides a picturesque setting that is as tranquil as it is beautiful.For those seeking an authentic and scenic links experience, Dooks Golf Club offers a blend of history, challenge, and natural beauty that is unmatched. It's a course that remains true to the spirit of links golf, providing a welcoming challenge to golfers of all levels amidst one of Ireland's most picturesque landscapes

The course itself is a par-71 links that stretches over 6,500 yards, where the natural terrain plays a central role in the design. Dooks is famed for its gentle introduction to links golf, offering less severity in its dune landscape compared to other Irish links courses. However, this does not detract from the challenge it presents. Golfers must navigate undulating fairways, strategic bunkering, and small, tricky greens that demand precision and careful thought. The influence of the wind adds an additional layer of complexity, changing the nature of play from day to day.  What sets Dooks apart is its commitment to preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the area. The course is home to a variety of flora and fauna, providing a serene backdrop to the golfing challenge. This commitment to conservation has earned Dooks acclaim for its sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to golf course management.
