Discovering the Majesty of Ballybunion: A Visual Odyssey at Hole #16
On the rugged western coast of Ireland, where the Atlantic Ocean carves out dramatic landscapes, Ballybunion Golf Club stands as a beacon of natural beauty and challenging golf. Known for its storied history and captivating scenery, Ballybunion’s Cashen Course, particularly Hole #16, captures the essence of Irish golf.
Ballybunion’s Cashen Course: An RTJ Masterpiece
The Cashen Course, designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones Sr., offers a blend of visual drama and golfing challenge that is unmatched. The 16th hole, a par-5, is a prime example of this design ethos. It weaves through towering dunes, its fairway a narrow ribbon that demands precision and rewards bravery. The backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, with its ever-changing hues and moods, adds a layer of awe to each shot.
The View from Hole #16
Captured in the attached image, Hole #16 at the Cashen Course is a visual marvel. The vibrant greens of the fairway contrast starkly with the golden dunes, topped with wild, windswept grasses that sway in the Irish breeze. The expansive view of the Atlantic stretches beyond, serving as a reminder of the vast, untamed beauty that defines Ireland’s coast.

Each week, we share a stunning golf image and a heartfelt, hilarious, or inspiring story. While they may not always align, both aim to elevate the game and uplift those who love it. These images aren’t for sale—they’re simply here to be enjoyed, just as the stories are meant to inspire, entertain, and celebrate the spirit of golf.
Golf is a shadowy melding of physics and hope. It’s a universal challenge that somehow demands your complete individual attention. The sounds of golf are casually addictive – an awesome strike, laughter dancing across the fairways and the playful whisper when the ball drops. I love it all.
Golf involves people watching you and your shot. Being naturally shy, but competitive, I initially found this to be very awkward. When I realized how many people care less about the score and more about being outside in good company, I felt really grateful. Playing golf inspired me to reconsider what I value.
There is always something new to discover and I love that. From course architecture, to working on your swing or reading about the game’s most interesting players, you can spend a lifetime learning about golf. More importantly, I enjoy connecting with people who appreciate it.
