Situated along the Wild Atlantic Way in County Clare, the Lodge at Doonbeg is a five-star coastal retreat combining residential-style accommodation with one of Ireland’s most acclaimed links golf courses. Room categories span several price points, from comfortable lodge-style rooms to more indulgent options, with the self-catering villas providing an excellent choice for small groups who prefer a home-from-home feel. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and two full dining options — including The Ocean View Restaurant — give guests a generous range of choices throughout the day.
The on-site links course is regularly spoken of alongside Ballybunion and Lahinch as one of the great west of Ireland golf experiences — raw, wind-influenced, and genuinely memorable. The course hugs a dramatic section of Clare coastline, with dunes, sea views, and a natural challenge that changes character with every shift of the Atlantic breeze. For golfers planning a Clare or west of Ireland golf package, Doonbeg is the kind of once-visited, always-remembered destination that defines an Irish golf holiday.
The White Horses Spa and fully equipped gym provide ideal recovery between rounds, and the old town of Doonbeg — just five minutes away — offers further dining and bar options for those wanting an evening out. The Lodge is genuinely welcoming to non-golfers too, with the coastal setting, spa, and relaxed atmosphere providing plenty of appeal well beyond the fairways.
