Golf

Dooks Golf Club. On the second tier of courses in Ireland's Southwest, Dooks doesn't quite measure up to the world-class clubs, but offers, nonetheless, a completely worthwhile day of golf if you're touring the area. The scenery is spectacular, including views of the majestic Macgillicuddy's Reeks. Built in the old tradition of seaside links, it's shorter and a bit gentler, although the greens are small and tricky. Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry. 066/976–8205; www.dooks.com. Apr.–Oct., €150; Nov. and Mar, €60. Closed Dec–mid-Mar. Closed to nonmembers on weekends.
