Our Head Chef Jonathan, has taken up golfing on some of the best golf courses we have in Kerry when he gets a very rare day off – lately we have noticed his chef whites and knives are also accompanied by a well worn golf bag! Here’s a list of the golf courses he has tried and enjoyed – we hope you enjoy them too during your stay in our Coastguard Cottages
