Golf has been played in Dooks since 1889 and so is one of the oldest clubs in Ireland. It was introduced to the local aristocracy by officers from the Royal Horse Artillery attending compulsory training at the nearby Glenbeigh Artillery Range.

Dooks, (A Gaelic word for Sand Dunes) is renowned for its hospitality and spectacular scenery. From its gentle rolling fairways there are breathtaking views of Dingle Bay, the stunning sandy beaches of Rossbeigh and Inch and the magnificent McGillycuddy Reeks. Even though this links is not as exposed as some Irish courses and features an amazing variety of gorse and heather and wild flowers, the "gentle" wind is never far away and the narrow genuine sandy fairways and well contoured greens offer you a real taste of traditional links golf at its very best.

Dooks was originally a nine hole links and was extended to eighteen in the 1970s under the guidance of Eddie Hackett. However in 2002 the club engaged the services of Martin Hawtree golf Architect of international renown to enhance the layout of the course. 16 holes were redesigned and have added immensely to the golfing challenge. We now have a longer course measuring 6586 yards from the back tees with expanded and contoured greens. Those who know it well find it a most intriguing course to play; it will test even the very best of golfers. For the golfer who is seeking a beautiful and tranquil environment to enjoy great golf, Dooks presents a convincing case.
