Having been to the SW coast of Ireland in Nov. I thought i would try it in August. It was about the same. There were four of us. All low hdcp golfers from America. It either rained all day every day or rained some of the time every day. The wind combined with the rain to make it a true... more

My husband and I don't play golf but that doesn't keep us from enjoying all that Ballybunion has to offer. We have stayed for many years at the 19th Lodge (convienently located across the street) and have thoroughly enjoyed the views of this incredible course.
