Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg
Wild Atlantic Way clifftop links + Irish castle hospitality on Doughmore Bay
Property Overview
Trump Doonbeg sits on 400 acres above the wild Doughmore Bay on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way — a Greg Norman links course reshaped by Martin Hawtree that plays through 100-foot dunes and along a 1.5-mile crescent beach. Suites are spread across castle-style stone buildings; the atmosphere is more country-house-Ireland than modern-resort, and County Clare is 30 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher.

Trump Doonbeg Championship Links
128-yard par 3 played from an elevated tee to a tiny green perched between dunes above Doughmore Bay — one of golf's most dramatic short holes.
Play in July-August at 07:00 to catch the front 9 before the Atlantic wind builds. Local caddies know exactly which of the 6 possible tee positions is used that day — worth the €50 tip.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Trump Doonbeg from Shannon Airport?
55 minutes by car (75km). The resort offers meet-and-greet + private transfer (€185 one-way) or you can rent a car at Shannon — the drive along the Wild Atlantic Way is spectacular.
Is Doonbeg suitable for non-golfers?
Yes. The 1.5-mile beach, spa, cliff walks, horse riding, and 30-min drive to the Cliffs of Moher make it a great non-golf base. Family lodges are designed for kids.
What's the best month to play Doonbeg?
May-September for daylight (18-hour days in June) and drier weather. Late May + September are shoulder-season sweet spots — full course conditioning without July-August tour crowds.
Can I combine Doonbeg with the Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor?
Yes — they're 90 minutes apart in County Limerick. Many international visitors are booking Doonbeg for pre/post-Ryder Cup week (September 2027).

Insider Tips (3)
Lodge > Castle suites for the vibe
The Castle Ocean Suites are fine but the Signature Lodges have their own turf fires + kitchens. Book Lodge 12 for a family — front row of the bay, walk to the 14th tee in 90 seconds.
May bank holiday sweet spot
Late May: dry weather, 5+ Ryder Cup 2027 warmup tours, and the Cliffs of Moher (30 min drive) still un-touristed. Book Doonbeg + Adare Manor in same trip.
Skip Ocean View bar for Doolin
The Ocean View bar is fine but 20 min drive to Doolin gets you into Gus O'Connor's for the best traditional music session in Ireland + fresh crab claws. Bring cash for the taxi home.
