Waterville Golf Links
Waterville Golf Links, nestled on the picturesque Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland, is a treasure among the world's links courses. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, strategic design, and the pure golfing challenge it offers, Waterville has been a revered destination for golf enthusiasts since its establishment in 1889. Its location, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Kerry Mountains on the other, provides a dramatic backdrop that enhances the golfing experience.
The course itself is a masterful blend of classic links attributes—rolling dunes, undulating fairways, natural water hazards, and fast, firm greens. This challenging layout tests golfers of all skill levels, demanding accuracy, strategic thinking, and adaptability to the ever-changing winds that sweep across the peninsula.
