Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to play Ring of Kerry Golf Course to avoid the worst weather?
We recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-early October) for your best shot at decent weather. You'll still want to pack layers and waterproofs, as Irish weather is famously unpredictable, but these months offer longer daylight and generally milder conditions.
How challenging is the Ring of Kerry Golf Course for an average golfer, and what should I watch out for?
This course offers a fair challenge without being overly punishing, making it enjoyable for most handicaps. The real test comes from the elevation changes and the wind, which can turn a straightforward shot into a real head-scratcher, especially on the back nine. Don't let the stunning views distract you from the tricky greens.
What are the must-see views or signature holes at Ring of Kerry Golf Course?
The views are truly spectacular, especially from the elevated tees on the back nine overlooking Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains. Keep an eye out for the par-3 13th, which demands a precise shot over a valley to a green framed by incredible scenery-it's a real postcard moment.
Is Ring of Kerry Golf Course good value for money compared to other courses in Ireland?
Absolutely, we think it offers excellent value, especially considering the breathtaking scenery and well-maintained conditions. While it might not have a 'championship links' price tag, you're getting a truly memorable Irish golf experience with views that rival much more expensive courses.
What's the post-round experience like at Ring of Kerry, and are there any good local spots nearby?
The clubhouse offers a warm welcome with great food and a perfect spot to relive your round while soaking in those panoramic views. Afterwards, we highly recommend heading into nearby Kenmare-it's a charming town with fantastic pubs and restaurants to cap off your day.
