Founded in 1894, Portmarnock hosted its first tournament two years later and since then has seldom looked back.

The sandy soil of the Portmarnock peninsula makes this ideal golfing country and today this course is host to the Irish Open Championship and was also selected as a venue for the Walker Cup.

Its greatness is measured in its variety of golf holes. Played in typical Portmarnock "squalls" the course can prove to be one of the toughest courses in the world.
