Trump Doonbeg International Golf Links & Hotel, Ireland

Set on a dramatic stretch of Ireland's west coast among sand dunes and rolling linksland, Trump Doonbeg feels deliberately remote and unhurried, more of a refined country retreat than a large resort. The links course itself is woven directly into the dunes, redesigned by Hawtree and set to host the 2026 Amgen Irish Open, delivering a different character depending on the wind and time of day. Accommodation spans well-sized rooms, suites and lodges, many with sea views or fireplaces, styled classic rather than modern with comfort as the priority. Dining leans on locally sourced Irish produce in a relaxed main restaurant and bar, and while the golf is the headline, non-golfers are well looked after too, with coastal walks, a spa, and easy access to Clare's beaches and villages.
