Doonbeg, Ireland

The Lodge at Doonbeg

The Deal

Couples: two nights in the luxurious Lodge, which opened in 2006; two rounds on Doonbeg Links Course, designed by Greg Norman; a spa treatment per person; Champagne and chocolate; dinner one night and daily breakfast

The Golf

In constructing Doonbeg among ancient dunes, the oldest of which are protected, Norman moved little earth—most greens and fairways required only a lawn mower to create. The course opened in 2002, but it looks as ageless as the land itself.

Price

From 1,570 per person until October 31; from 1,056 until December 31
