Royal
Portrush Golf Club
Simply put, the Dunluce course at Royal Portrush is one of the
world's finest links courses and the only course in Ireland
to have hosted the British Open. Overlooked by the ruins of
the 13th Century Dunluce Castle it is a masterpiece of golf
architecture. Famous for its magnificent turf and excellent
holes, many of which require long and accurate drives made all
the more difficult by the high winds. Unimaginable rough and
tricky greens, thrown with windy conditions make this course
an admirable test for a seasoned golfer. |

Portstewart
Golf Club
A claim is often made that Portstewart has the best opening
hole in Irish Golf - some say in the world. Situated on Ulster's
magnificent Causeway Coast, Portstewart Golf Club is one of
the very few 45 hole complexes in Europe. Going back to 1951,
when the course was used as a qualifying venue for the Open
Championship at Royal Portrush, it seemed that Portstewart was
destined to be forever cast in the shadow of its more illustrious
neighbour. Not any more. Everything changed when the new championship
layout of the Strand Course hosted the Irish Close Championship
in 1992. |

Druids
Glen Golf Club
Druids Glen was opened in 1995 and hosted the Murphys Irish
Open, Irelands premier golfing event and one of the richest
on the European PGA tour from 1996 - 1999. There are many who
say that Druids Glen is currently the best and most dramatic
golf course in Ireland. It is situated 30 minutes south of Dublin
in the heart of beautiful County Wicklow, nestling between the
Irish Sea and the stunning Wicklow mountains. The mystique of
this exquisite mature setting, the rich history of the land
and surrounding amenities combined with a picturesque 18 hole
course leaves no wonder why Druids Glen was voted European Golf
Course of the Year 2001. |

Portmarnock
Hotel & Golf Club
Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links shares a similar name as its
more illustrious neighbour but the similarity certainly does
not end there. Like Portmarnock Golf Club, Portmarnock Hotel
& Golf Links is a superb links course, essentially fashioned
from the same dune land as Portmarnock and deserves its growing
international reputation. If anything in fact, the Links at
Portmarnock (as it's also known) is an even tighter layout,
distinguished by some wickedly difficult pot bunkers. |

Fota
Island Golf Club, Cork
Fota Island Golf Club was the venue for the 2001 and 2002 Murphy's
Irish Open - one of the most prestigious events of the European
Tour. This is a par-72 course that runs to nearly 6,900 yards,
one that will require you to use every club in the bag. The
British publication Golf Monthly said of Fota, "purists will
delight at the old fashioned features, you'll stand in wide-eyed
admiration", Golf Digest in the USA observed "it makes you think
- its real golf". |

Old
Head, Kinsale
Old Head Golf Links is built on a 220-acre diamond of land,
jutting out over two miles into the Atlantic; the promontory
is almost an island with numerous caves running beneath your
feet as you play the course. The links and practice area occupy
180 acres and the remaining 40 acres of unspoilt cliff frame
the course and rise in places to over 300 feet. Comprised of
five par 5's, five par 3's and eight par 4's, the links stretches
to over 7,200 yards from the tips and with a minimum of six
tees on every hole, the course provides a stern test to the
touring pro and high handicapper alike. |
