The top five courses in Ireland and the top 20 links courses worldwide both rank Waterville. When the legendary Eddie Hackett masterpiece was updated by renowned international golf architect Tom Fazio, the course began a new chapter in its storied past. Many of the top clubs in the world, including Winged Foot, Pine Valley, and Augusta National, have enlisted Fazio's help. "Waterville is truly spectacular in every way," claimed Fazio. "This is one of the best golf settings I have ever seen," you say.
Ancient Irish mythology places a lot of importance on Waterville and Ballinskelligs Bay. According to the "Book of Invasions" that was allegedly published in the year 1000 AD, Ireland's first invader was Cessair, the granddaughter of Noah, who arrived in Ballinskelligs Bay. The Milesians, the last of the legendary invaders, are said to have landed here as well about 700 BC and left behind many of the nearby archaeological sites.
