The Cashen course is fascinating. Robert Trent Jones, the preeminent architect of the 20th century, was set loose on a classic Irish links dunescape. And what resulted was….weird, interesting and different! It’s a mash-up of authentic links and target golf that doesn’t really exist elsewhere. Does it work? Sometimes – if the wind is up, it’s best to leave the scorecard in the bag and enjoy the experience. But this target golf take on links means you get to play through some of the most interesting and dramatic dunes in Ireland (and thus anywhere). If you’re the type who wants your golf fair and straightforward, the Cashen course is probably not going to be your cup of tea. But if you’re open to something different, something interesting, the Cashen course is absolutely worth your time.
