Dooks Golf Club
Dooks, Gelnbeigh, Co. Kerry

LOCATION - South West Ireland.

ARCHITECT - Unknown.

DESCRIPTION - A Truly Traditional Experience
Golf has been played in Dooks since 1889. It was introduced to the local aristocracy by officers from the Royal Horse Artillery attending compulsory training at the nearby Glenbeigh artillery range.

The Golf Club is set out on one of the three stretches of sand dunes at the head of Dingle Bay. In the immediate foreground are the sand-dune peninsulas of Rossbeigh and Inch and just a few miles away the whitewashed houses of Cromane fishing village provide an eye-catching distraction. South-eastwards are the famed MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, to the Southwest are the lovely Cooms and hills of Glenbeigh and across the bay to the north are the Slieve Mish and Dingle Mountains.

And so for the golfer, who is seeking a beautiful and tranquil environment in which to enjoy good golf, Dooks presents a convincing case. Hole number 13 best illustrates the charm and magic of Dooks. It is a throwback hole to the time when golf began; Greens lay where they fell and were the better for it.
