A stellar golf location - The Star Wars connection to Dingle’s Ceann Sibéal

Ceann Sibéal is seeing stars, writes Kevin Markham

Long, long ago, a cauldron of breathtaking beauty was carved out of the rock in West Kerry. To the east is Mount Brandon, to the south lies Cruach Mharthain, and out to the west the Blasket Islands sit on the horizon.

It is the towering headland to the south-west, however, which gives Dingle Golf Links its full Irish name and a unique microclimate where fescue, the champion of links grasses, has thrived in abundance at Galf Chumann Ceann Sibéal.
