For fans of Irish golf, the name Waterville is synonymous with greatness. Now, five minutes from Waterville Golf Links, in County Kerry, Ireland, another club has joined the party. Hogs Head Golf Club is set to make the town of Waterville into even more of a golf destination.
Overlooking scenic Ballinskelligs Bay, Hogs Head Golf Club comprises a Robert Trent Jones II–designed golf course—Jones’s first in Ireland. The 7,140-yard, par-72 headlands course features Atlantic Ocean views and tee-to-green fescue (grass cover). The property also features a 17,000-square-foot clubhouse, 48-guest-room lodge, and seven private, four-bedroom cottages. For the construction, owners Bryan Marsal and Tony Alvarez II enlisted Dublin-based architecture firm Henry J Lyons, as well as American designer Robert Rizzo of Cobble Court Interiors.
