I spent time in Doonbeg this past summer. We stayed right in Doonbeg. Great village, great people and wonderful golf. I will come back to Doonbeg I work in a city and the rural atmosphere in Doonbeg is great. Barbara Larkin, Philadelphia, USA


We found Doonbeg quite by accident in 2006 & boy we were blown away with the area & the jazz we couldn't make it last year but hope to return this year. The people in Doonbeg & West Clare were most hospitible, charming, very friendly & helpful so from me Thank you All so Very Much. We would like to wish everyone in Doonbeg & West Clare a very Happy New Year! Cherrie Barnes France

What a visually beautiful and highly effective website! My paternal grandparents, John McNamara (brother of Michael McNamara) and Susanna Qualey McNamara, were from Doonbeg. During the nineteen twenties, they left for Australia and later settled in New Jersey. I can see why they loved Doonbeg. I plan to visit the area in the future. - Ellen McNamara Kauffman, Aug 2008
