Legend has it that the rock found its location here after a battle between St Patrick and the Devil, who had sought refuge in the mountains nearby, during the battle a large piece of rock was dislodged and landed at this site, thus the common name for the rock being “The Devil’s Bit”. From Cashel you will travel south where you will visit Blarney Castle which is surrounded with myths and tales as well as housing the famed Blarney Stone. In Irish folklore it is said, that, if one kisses the Blarney Stone they will be granted “The gift of the gab”. From Blarney Castle you will make your journey to the beautiful town of Killarney. With the backdrops of the MacGillycuddy Reeks (mountain range) and set on the banks of Lough Leane the town of Killarney is a favourite with many people searching tranquillity and the outdoors.

Now the course has been fully redesigned by Tom Watson and is regarded in extremely high regards as one of the finest examples of links golf to be found in the world. After your round on Ballybunion Old, you will have a chance to enjoy lunch before playing the second course at the club, the Cashen. This secondary course to the famed Old Course still has many quirks and charms, with the course being regarded as a real hidden gem in the region.
