A stunning golf course, located on a small peninsula surrounded by the ocean. The fairways are more tame than that of a Ballybunion of even Royal County Down, but they feature beautiful, rolling terrain that still provides enough interest. Rather, Waterville is beautifully etched into the dunes, with views of the ocean from numerous positions. It is not uncommon for Waterville to end up on lists describing the world’s most beautiful golf courses, and first-time visitors often become well-aware of the stunning golf course upon their first couple holes.
