Welcome... Ireland is a land where histories are buried within histories and whose heritage is shaped upon stories of myth, legend, and lore that echo across thousands of years of traditional storytelling. Nobody knows where Doonbeg's story begins, save for the dunes upon which its scene is set but two men from South Carolina - Buddy Darby and Leonard Long recognised its singular magnificence and set about realising their vision, where others had left it behind: When we stepped out on that site we realised that it might be the only time in our lives that we could be involved in something as rare as that. It was a magnificent piece of links land and it was remarkable for such a site to be available anywhere in the world. -Buddy Darby Considered originally as an ideal setting for links golf from as early as 1892 by the Scottish Black Watch Regiment, more accessible areas were favoured over Doonbeg on account of its remote location leaving the site lying fallow for another two centuries. |

Golf... "I thought this would be the last chance in my life to get a site like this to build on: the sand dunes, the water, the beach, the wind blowing at 40 knots, the one thing I said when we started was, 'Guys, I am not going to Americanize this golf course, not one single foreign blade of grass.' Once we laid out the fairways, I just started mowing the grass that was there. The only major dirt we moved was for the clubhouse pad." - Greg Norman. The unique practice facility at Doonbeg includes: |
