(BALLYBUNION, Ireland) – Ballybunion Golf Club – Ireland’s fabled 36-hole golf links – has selected Buffalo Communications (Buffalo) to create and implement a publicity and media-relations program.
Meandering through fescue-covered dunes along County Kerry’s rugged Atlantic coastline, Ballybunion’s Old Course and Cashen Course present quintessential Irish golf experiences. Their windswept setting amid tumbling, seaside terrain recalls the game’s earliest origins making them “must plays” for every serious golfer.
“The time is right to proactively showcase Ballybunion to an even wider swath of North American golf travelers,” says Vari McGreevy, General Manager of Ballybunion Golf Club. “The PR program through Buffalo Communications will further cement the club’s strong profile and introduce its wonders to a new generation of players.”
“Ballybunion is an iconic club synonymous with the best of Ireland golf,” says Rich Katz, Managing Director of Buffalo. “Our team is energized to secure high-powered editorial coverage about the many extraordinary attributes affording Ballybunion hallowed status.”
The Old Course
Ranked consistently in the world’s top 20 courses by GOLF Magazine, the par-71, 6,802-yard Old Course radiates majesty and charm. Beautifully contoured fairways fuse with a blanket of grassy dunes to fashion a classic test of links golf. The Old Course has mesmerized guests for decades, a tribute to its embodiment of the game’s greatest traits. The 402-yard 11th hole is widely heralded as one of the finest par 4s in the world, while the long par-3 No. 15 is both remarkably scenic and treacherous.
The Cashen Course
Opened in 1984, the Cashen Course was designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones. Situated on an even more dramatic parcel than its sister layout, the par-72, 6,306-yard course is one of the most challenging in Ireland. Bold and flirtatious, it requires acute precision off the tee and into the greens. Wildly undulating with breathtaking views throughout, the Cashen Course is consistently rated among the best modern layouts in Great Britain and Ireland by Golfweek.
