Tralee Golf Club is in the same ranks as the world renowned golf clubs of Southwest Ireland like Lahinch and Ballybunion. It may not be on top of the list of the best golf clubs in that area but it surely is gaining popularity. Tralee golf club is complete with all the modern amenities and is located at a very choice location in the outskirts of town. It has many great features and services never before seen in any other golf club in that area.

The history of the Tralee Golf Club goes as far back as the year 1896 when it was first opened. It was only in 1980 when it was transferred to the outskirts of Tralee. The officials of the golf club felt the need for a new and better location. The famous Arnold Palmer and his design agency created and planned the design of the new golf club. The officials of the golf club aspired to have first-rate links like that of the Lahinch and the Babylon. They aimed to attract avid golfers from as far away as North America to visit their golf club.

Golfers keep coming back to the Tralee Golf Club for its famous back nine. Even Arnold Palmer was quoted to have said that God had a hand in designing Tralee's back nine. Other than its back nine, the front nine of the Tralee Golf Club are also spectacular in their own unique way. The par 5 of Number 2, made up of 596 yards, is stretched along the coastline. Number 3, also along the beach, is a fine par 3 with a spectacular view at the back of the green. It has a hole fondly named by its frequent visitors as "Castle". This part of the Tralee Golf Club has other possibilities other than the game of golf, it is a great place to take in the spectacular view and do a little exploring.

Front side of the Tralee Golf Club is quite a number of filler holes which is commonly found in links courses. It is definitely a good thing because it makes you anticipate the moment you get to the 10th tee. Once you are there, you will be amazed at the sight of the fairway that courses in and out of the splendid terrain.

Despite the long and somewhat unexciting climb to the 11th par 5, without a doubt the back nine makes up for all that. It is one of the best and most exhilarating places to play golf within the G.B. and I.

To conclude, Tralee Golf Club is absolutely up to par with the likes of the Ballybunion when it comes to being first-rate links courses in the South of Shannon Ferry, Ireland. Compared to the classic links of the Ballybunion, the Tralee Golf Club has a more exciting terrain. British Isles golf courses and those from other parts of Ireland pale in comparison to the Tralee Golf Club.

The Tralee Golf Club is not for the faint of heart. The holes are very challenging; add to that the strong winds and you will surely have a wild and exciting game of golf. However there are caddies and golf carts on hand to make things more convenient for you. During the peak season, it can cost as much as 180 Euros in fees alone although they have special packages from time to time, like the 2 for 1 promo package.
