Golf
Trump International Doonbeg Golf Links
- Two-time Open winner Greg Norman was commissioned to design the course, which opened in 2002.
- Mr. Martin Hawtree carried out the redesign of the course after the Resort was acquired by Trump.
- In his original design, Norman made good use of the movement of the sand dunes. That is why the field has a lot of unevenness. In addition, 16 of the 18 holes have ocean views, and several are attached to Doughmore Bay.
