Tralee Golf Club sits on the Barrow Peninsula north of Tralee town, with views across Tralee Bay toward the Dingle Peninsula and the Atlantic. It was designed by Arnold Palmer - his first course design in Ireland - and opened in 1984. The setting is dramatic: the front nine play through dunes and headland above the bay, and the back nine return through wilder terrain. It is consistently ranked among Ireland's top ten links courses. Shannon Transfers provides private golf transfers from Shannon Airport to Tralee, with drivers who know the Kerry roads well.
Tralee Golf Club: The Course
Arnold Palmer described Tralee Golf Club as 'the most beautiful site I have ever seen for a golf course'. That quote has been repeated often - and on a clear day, with Tralee Bay spread below and the Dingle mountains behind, it is easy to understand why. The course plays to a par 71 over 6,607 yards and rewards precise ball-striking over power. Wind from the Atlantic is a constant factor, and club selection at exposed holes can be the difference between a good round and a humbling one.

The drive from Shannon Airport to Tralee Golf Club takes approximately 2 hours 20 minutes via the N21 through Limerick and south into Kerry. Your Shannon Transfers driver will bring you directly to the clubhouse, wait while you play, and return you to Shannon or your Kerry hotel afterward. Tralee is often combined with Ballybunion on a two-day Kerry golf trip - both are in north Kerry, 45 minutes apart. Ask us about arranging both days together. Tralee is one of many courses we cover as part of our golf transfers Ireland service.
