A round of golf anywhere along Ireland's west coast is, quite naturally, characterised by the ragged Atlantic coastline. With Atlantic breakers pounding the shore within sight and hearing of many courses and the wind adding its own perplexities, the challenge offered by the likes of Ballybunion, Tralee and Waterville etc can admittedly be difficult, but the joy of golf here is always exhilarating, and the scenery will always make your rounds memorable.
