We're kicking off our 2025 Golf Tour to Ireland at the remarkable K Club. For centuries The K Club has allured, captivated and entranced guests with its 550-acre resort, unparalleled in its scope and beauty, and 127 modern rooms and suites built around a remarkable architectural centrepiece.

Across its 550-acre resort, an unreasonable amount of leisure, relaxation, active and recreational opportunities await.

Encompassed by two Arnold Palmer-designed championship golf courses, The K Club is highly regarded for its unrivalled golfing experience, but it’s not just world-famous fairways, its K Golf World simulators utilise the most innovative and personalised golf training technologies.

Set in lush countryside overlooking elegant gardens and woods, our outdoors options extend well beyond tee boxes and greens, however. Our formal gardens, for instance, feature a forest of important tree species, planted beds and beguiling sculpture, all of which can be discovered via our resort map.

Golf folklore is rich in Ireland 🍀 It's a small island with a big reputation and a proud golfing history. This is the story of Trump Doonbeg - one of the courses on our 2025 PGA Guided Golf Tour to Ireland! Join us in July 2025 to play it (and many more) - read more here https://shorturl.at/5eY9k

A history of the incredible Trump Doonbeg
(Excerpts from: https://www.trumphotels.com/ireland/golf and https://www.top100golfcourses.com/golf-course/trump-international-golf-links-doonbeg )

The name Doonbeg is derived from 'Dun Beag', which roughly translated means small fort. So it's no surprise that this pretty seaside village grew up beside a castle, which was built in the 16th century for the Earl of Thomond.

Anyone who has been to these lands, who has felt the impressive power of the Atlantic Ocean forcing its way along the rugged Clare coastline or smelled its rain washed air knows why this land at Doonbeg is so unique. Spanning 1.5 miles of crescent shaped beach and sand dunes, the Dr Martin Hawtree newly re-designed course at Trump International Golf Links Ireland in Doonbeg is a stunning sight to behold and offers views of the Atlantic from 16 of 18 holes.

This course was originally created by Greg Norman - the only one in the whole of the British Isles! In line with Norman’s philosophy of ‘least disturbance’, the most natural route was taken in laying the course out through the sand dunes. As a result, the course has a unique combination of five par 3s and five par 5s.

As early as 1892, officers of the Scottish Black Watch Regiment considered Doonbeg an ideal setting for links golf. In the early 1990s, the Doonbeg Community Development Company began promoting the concept of a golf course at Doonbeg. With urging from that group, Shannon Development obtained purchase options for 377 acres of links-land from four local farming families and construction began in 1999. The course opened in 2002, when Greg Norman defeated Irish Ryder Cup star Padraig Harrington by 2 to 1 in an exhibition match.

In 2014, the course was purchased by The Trump Organisation and has since been renamed to Trump International Golf Links Ireland. Since then Trump Ireland has been transformed by Dr. Hawtree to one of the 'must play' golf courses on the international circuit. He has allowed the character and soul of the land flourish while enhancing the playability tenfold. Every hole has its own identity which will both reward and challenge each golfer.
