As you play, the whole panorama of the Dingle Peninsula is revealed - hidden bays with small fishing villages, glorious hills and mountains and the Blasket Islands out in the wild Atlantic. This area abounds in archaeological treasures wild flora and fauna, arts and crafts and ancient Gaelic culture.

Ceann Sibeal was founded in 1924. The great Irish architect Eddie Hackett, who passed away in 1996 at the age of 86, is credited as the architect, who designed other favorites such as Carne, Connemara, Enniscrone, and the acclaimed Waterville Golf Links.

The par-72, 6,696 yards of pastoral golf holes are welcoming and walkable, spilling down from the clubhouse across the open, visible land. While better-known courses on many tourist "rotas" such as Ballybunion, Tralee, Waterville and the Old Head of Kinsale play directly along the ocean, Ceann Sibeal, or Dingle Golf Links, if you must, though surrounded by ocean, is set back from the sea. Visible still, is the ocean and the now lifeless and often unreachable Blasket Islands, abandoned only in 1960 after so many of its primitive residents perished in wild winters that kept help, food and mail from coming for weeks.
