Property owners at the Trump Doonbeg golf resort in Co Clare are already reaping the dividends of the staging of the Amgen Irish Open with a luxury cottage recently selling for €910,000.
An entry on the Residential Property Price Register (RPPR) shows that 164 The Links Doonbeg Golf Club sold for €910,000 on September 17th – only days after Shane Lowry won the Amgen Irish Open with US President and owner of Trump Doonbeg Donald Trump watching on.
The €910,000 for 164 The Links is the first Trump Doonbeg property sale post the Amgen Irish Open and is almost double the €510,000 sales price for the same property achieved five years ago in October 2021.
The RPPR also shows that the same property also exchanged hands for €300,000 in October 2018 showing that it has tripled in price while Trump Doonbeg has been under the ownership of the Trump Organisation.
Records on the RPPR show that six properties at Doonbeg Golf Resort have sold this year for a cumulative €4.45m.
Asked to comment on the €910,000 sales price a spokesman for Trump Ireland said today: “Property sales at Trump Ireland, Doonbeg have remained strong, reflecting broader market conditions, limited availability and the appeal of ownership within the resort.”
He said that “while the price is significantly higher than that achieved for No. 164 in 2021, ultimately any sale reflects both the owner’s expectations and what a buyer is prepared to pay.”
The spokesman said that the resort’s performance and international recognition continue to support its appeal.
He said: “It is too early to assess any impact of the Amgen Irish Open on property values, although we are seeing a very positive impact on forward bookings.
The spokesman confirmed that 2026 has been a record year for Trump Doonbeg in terms of new members joining.
He said: “2026 has been an unprecedented year for membership at Trump Doonbeg Golf Club, with 50 new members joining.”
He said that this compared to a then record of 40 new members in 2025 – a rise of 20pc year on year.
The cost of joining increased from €25,000 to €30,000 in April of this year – and annual dues depend on a member’s ‘National’ or ‘International’ status.
The spokesman said that “while hosting the Amgen Irish Open may have influenced some decisions, most joined before the event, drawn by the quality of our links course and facilities, the warm welcome from our staff and the sense of community among fellow members”.
He said that “since hosting the tournament, we have seen a threefold increase in membership enquiries from both Ireland and overseas and forward bookings for the hotel and events in 2027 and 2028 are pacing ahead of any previous year”.
The spokesman said that 2026 is set to exceed expectations in terms of profits and revenues.
He said: “We are pleased with our performance compared with last year, particularly given that the golf course was closed for the first three months of the year and for the two weeks leading up to the Amgen Irish Open, during Ireland’s peak golf tourism season.”
The golf course was closed for the first three months of 2026 in preparation for the Amgen Irish Open in order to redesign the 1st & 18th holes and extend the 5th hole on the course.
