My favorite course on our trip. Vistas were amazing, golf course was fun but challenging. Our caddies were the best. A must play for golfers.

It was without a doubt, one of the most incredible experiences that I’ve had in my 60 years.  Myself and five of my friends and our wives planned a trip to Ireland to celebrate our 60th birthdays.  One of the highlights was experiencing the beauty at Waterville golf course.  The people were incredibly kind and gracious. The course was as picturesque as any I’ve seen.  Just like every town we experienced, the people made it extra special.  I’d like to say hello and thank you to Aoibhinn (who may be at college now)  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you , learning about your golf career and hearing about your hole in one on # 4 !  You’re an exceptional caddie too.  Best wishes to Helena and Nicki in the pro shop, our wives loved meeting and chatting with your legendary golf pro, we all miss Waterville but I think I speak for everyone, we’ll be back !  ❤️🍀🇮🇪

This was my 8th trip to Ireland, I have played a number of great tracks in Ireland, and Waterville is in my top 10 of Irish courses that I have golfed.  It is a very playable course as the fairways are fairly generous, and the wind was a non-factor the day I played.
The scenery on a sunny day is spectacular. A big shout out to my caddy Maeve, who provided great guidance. We had good conversation and many laughs. All the best to you Maeve.
A caveat in that the tee fees at Waterville now run to 400-450 euro in the summer. Sadly that now seems to be the current state of affairs for golf in Ireland $$$$$. You pay a high price for the great experience.

Waterville Golf Links was simply spectacular and one of the highlights of our recent golf trip through Ireland. We were extremely fortunate with the weather, with blue skies, sunshine and wonderful visibility, which allowed us to really appreciate just how beautiful this piece of County Kerry is. The course winds naturally through the dunes with the Atlantic, Ballinskelligs Bay and the surrounding mountains providing an extraordinary backdrop. It is classic links golf, firm and fast in places, with plenty of variety and enough wind and contours to make you think about almost every shot. What I particularly liked about Waterville was that the scenery never overwhelmed the golf. It is a genuinely excellent course, with strong holes throughout and a terrific finishing stretch. The 17th, Mulcahy’s Peak, may provide the best perspective of all. I took the short 360-degree video included with this review from there, and it gives a much better sense than photographs can of the scale of the course, the dunes, the water and the surrounding countryside. You can virtually see the entire links from that one spot.

"This is raw, ancient magic on the edge of the world.

You drive out to Waterville Golf Links thinking you’re just playing a game of golf, but the moment the Atlantic wind hits your face and you look out across those dunes, you realize you're somewhere special. It’s wild, dramatic, and completely humbling.

The layout is absolute poetry—undulating fairways, punishing bunkers, and views that’ll stop you dead in your tracks. But what really seals the deal is the soul of the place. The caddies know every blade of grass and speak with that dry, razor-sharp Irish wit, and the clubhouse treats you less like a tourist and more like family coming home.

Finish 18, order a cold Guinness and a hot plate of food at the clubhouse, and try telling me there’s a better place on earth. Absolutely magnificent."
