A great deal has been written about the Tralee Golf Course at Barrow since Arnold Palmer designed it in 1984, all of it good.

Arnold Palmer himself is quoted as saying "I have never come across a piece of land so ideally suited for the buidling of a golf course"

The following are just a selection of snippets from newspaper articles and reviews about Tralee Golf Club.

In terms of spectacle, the Tralee links is unique, defying comparison overall with any golfing stretch.

If heaven is not like this, I don't want to go there.

Located on sandy seaside turf, this is a rose of a course offering sweeping views of oceans and mountains.

The word awesome can rightly be associated with the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, valley girls and the Tralee Golf Club. Tralee is possibly the finest test of golf in all of Ireland.

It is destined to be one of the finest courses in the world. In addition to having the best views of sea and wild sand dunes I've ever seen, Tralee is a tough but fair test of golf. The back nine is one of the best you'll ever find.

Tralee is a course destined for greatness. Tralee has the potential to take its place among the best courses in the world. It is a setting to match the matchless Pebble Beach. The 12th will some day rank as one of the premier par 4s on the globe.
