Greg Norman has gained a stellar reputation for building world-renowned golf courses while
preserving the natural beauty and ecology of the lands. The sensitive Doonbeg site,
with its spectacular dune fields, also demanded the eye of a links champion, making Norman
an ideal choice. His "least disturbance" policy in regard to the site has melded well
with the award-winning approach to the environment that Kiawah Development Partners has demonstrated
for many years on Kiawah Island. As one example of this approach, very few cubic yards of
earth were moved to build this classic links course that plays along 1.5 miles of stunning
Irish oceanfront. Greg Norman said of the course - " . . . It's Ireland. It's Irish
golf. It's links golf. Sand dunes like you'll never see again, working hand in glove with
the environmentalists. I tell everybody about this course. I tell them that I have got the
best site in the world and it's at Doonbeg in Ireland." say no more!!
