Dooks provides a welcome throwback to the genuine links experience. By Mr. Ger Walsh "The Kerryman" dated 19th May 2010.

I was fortunate to play the magnficent dooks course on sunday last in an exchange day and I feel compelled to pen a few lines about it. The condition of the golf course was Superb and it had a real old fashioned links feel about it. In recent years our top links courses here in ireland seem to be loosing that links feel as our fairways and greens are becoming more and more like parkland and it was a real treat to wind the clock back and play in conditions that I first experienced when I leant the game as a boy.
The fairways were pure links on Sunday and a cloud of dust and sand rose up if you were fortunate enough to hit the target from the tee. The greens were fast, and the only way of staying on the putting surface was to play short in hope of running on. A stiff breeze blowing across you for many of the holes combined with the white tee markers which were almost back at the blues, certainly made the course a superb challenge and a most enjoyable one.
Hats off to everyone at Dooks for there superb Hospitality for which they are renowned and as Arnold Swartzenegger says "Ill be back".
