Ballyliffin
Ballyliffin Golf Club consists of two outstanding, contrasting links courses, the Glashedy Links which was host to the European Tour's 2018 Irish Open and the Old Links course. Ballyliffin is often referred to as ‘the Ballybunion of the North’.
Portsalon
As a founder member of the Golfing Union of Ireland (1891), Portsalon in Co. Donegal is well established and offers golfers a chance to play on an original natural golf links design. The second hole is extra special with an elevated tee box overlooking the beach and an 'S' shaped river all the way to the green.
Rosapenna
Located on the edge of the picturesque Sheephaven Bay, Rosapenna is home to the Old Tom Morris Links designed by Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews in 1893 and a modern great in the Sandy Hills Links. The new St Patrick's Links by Tom Doak opened in June 2021 and has taken the golf world by storm, culminating in its debut as the highest new entry at #55 in the GOLF Magazine Top 100 in the World rankings 2021-22.
Co. Sligo at Rosses Point
A centenarian with all the dignity and maturity of age, this is one of Ireland’s great championship golf links. The club has hosted most of Ireland’s major championships over the years. Three extended beaches beneath the cliffs keep the Atlantic at Bay to the west of the course while towering Benbulben competes with the ocean for scenic splendour on the land side.
Ceann Sibéal/
Dingle Links
The most westerly golf course in Europe, Dingle Golf Links is delightfully secluded in the heart of Co. Kerry where the Irish language is still very much part of daily life. Enjoy attempts to prounouce each hole in its Gaelic name, one of which is named "Ifreann" which translates to Hell, a not so subtle warning to what awaits you! Ceann Sibéal features stunning views overlooking the Blasket Islands on this testing, but fun course.
Enniscrone
A spectacular golf course with interesting topography and a clever blend of long, short and quirky holes. With blind tee-shots, massive dunes and a fair bit of wind, this course is a wonderful challenge.
Dooks
Voted Ireland's most scenic golf course 2020, Dooks offers a visual feast of scenery with the MacGillyuddy's Reeks mountain range to the Southeast and sandy peninsulas to the north and west, it's not hard to see why. Dooks offers a tranquil setting with a warm welcome and a technical challenge for golfers. In the words of Tom Coyne "Don't drive past this gem".
Hogs Head
Built on a peninsula outside Waterville village, Hogs Head Golf Club is one of the newer courses in Ireland and was voted "Best New International Golf Course" by Golf.com in 2018. With mountain, lake, sea and cliffs views, particularly stunning along the back 9, Hogs head really has it all.
Narin & Portnoo
​
Regarded as one of Ireland's hidden gems, Narin & Portnoo Links is tucked away in the rural Southwest corner of Donegal. Revitalised in 2019, the new course has stunning visuals of Gweebarra Bay and offers a range of teeing areas and challenges to suit all golfers.
Carne
Carne Golf Links was the last to be designed by the late Eddie Hackett and it is regarded by many as his best. The development of Carne Golf Links caused little disturbance to the wild and ancient landscape, tees and greens occurred naturally and winds through some of the highest sand dunes in the world. In 2021 Carne hosted the 54-hole Irish PGA Championship with the tournament set to return for 2022.
