Only an exceptionally talented designer could do justice to this absolutely unique topography. Tom Doak, the master architect behind the extraordinary Barnbougle Golf Links in Tasmania, Cape Kidnappers in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand and Pacific Dunes in Bandon, Oregon, has spent his professional career in a focused study of the great courses of the world.
Ballyneal, already recognized and acknowledged as one of the world's best golf courses, has taken its place among Doak's great works.
He is a purist who understands the game as few others have, and he is single-handedly bringing a renaissance to the art of golf course design.
