Golf

The Southwest of Ireland is particularly blessed with an abundance of wonderful courses.  The Arnold Palmer designed Tralee Golf Course, a championship course in a splendid setting, is an 18 Hole course at Barrow just outside Tralee and is the best known course.

Festivals

Tralee is home to the world famous “Rose of Tralee International Festival” held in mid August and expanding number of weekend festivals “Samhlaiocht Chiarrai”, Easter Arts Festival and Kerry Film Festival in October.

Fishing

Few things are more satisfying than fishing.  The sea is open to every one while rivers are managed by clubs who provide permits at a reasonable rate.  The Feale River and its tributary the Smearla are good salmon and sea trout rivers.
