I'd settle this debate in a few months but not playing Ballybunion.  The wife and I are playing Tralee and I picked Tralee as the course I wanted to play twice on the trip and when I called about an additional time as a single, they volunteered a replay rate! So I guess it will be Lahinch or Tralee to rank -- but will Connemara, Killarney Killeen, Dooks, Castlegregory, Ceann Sibeal or a wild card or two edge them out? Was just working on the map and sites to see this morning --- we are really looking forward to the trip.

Tralee is my new fav. And after playing Ballybunion, Lahinch, and Tralee each twice, I would agree that you made the right decision. Lahinch and Ballybunion are REALLY good, but imho the back 9 at Tralee may be the best 9 holes in the world….

I figure if the weather interferes at least I’ll have another crack at it.

Not including St Patricks Links??? It would be on my list for that itinerary, N&P out - StP in.

I know the feeling, we came back in October and I can’t wait to get back. How many days you going for? You will be cutting it close to 2000kms for sure. You’re not doing Connemara on the way from Lahinch to Sligo?

I think I’m at 8 nights. No slack in the schedule at this point.
