Dooks The final course on our Irish Golf Extravaganza was the Martin Hawtree designed Dooks Golf Club. Golf has been played in Dooks since 1889 which makes the course one of the oldest in Ireland. Originally named Dooks & Caragh Golf Club, it became affiliated to the Golf Union of Ireland in 1903. For 100 years the links remained a steadfastly quirky, nine-hole configuration, as the members resisted all efforts at modernization. It was extended to eighteen holes in the 1970’s under the guidance of Eddie Hackett. The course was further enhanced in 2002 by links golf expert designer, Martin Hawtree. Dooks might have been our final stop in Ireland, but it ranks high on our list of favorite courses we played on this trip. Indiana Golf Journal
