Doonbeg offers excellence through its Caddy Program - with each caddy independently trained to expert international standards.
Caddie Policy
We recommend the utilization of caddies for your round of golf. Due to the number of blind shots, high rough, and typically tough conditions, having caddies in your group will significantly improve your pace-of-play, scoring, and your overall experience.
Doonbeg boasts Irelands' best caddie program - take advantage of it!
