Rosapenna - Old Tom Morris Links

Situated along the Donegal coastline in Ireland, the trademarks are wide rolling fairways and devilish, natural greens first designed by Old Tom Morris.

The course runs across the beautiful Tramore beach and overlooks Sheephaven Bay. Holes wind through native high dunes covered in Marram grass as golfers ingest the panoramic landscape and try to conquer a links revered through the years.

Rosapenna - Sandy Hills Links

Considered the ideal modern links, each hole cuts directly through the dunes and provides spectacular views that might ease the sting from a bad score or two. The fairways appear narrow from the teeing ground, but are actually fair and wide, even generous in spots. Many tees and greens are elevated as the holes run north and south across the property. Holes 6-thru-13 are the meat of the course, and the par-3 7th is memorable for its tiny green..

Ballyliffin - Glashedy

Often called the “Dornoch of Ireland” because of its location on the country’s extreme northern tip, this links poses a challenge that makes golfers glad they travelled the extra miles. Fantastic panoramic views of countryside and coastline are available throughout the property, Glashedy Rock sits just offshore and it’s easy to see why Glashedy has earned the reputation as Ireland’s hidden gem. Ruddy, one of the co-architects, treated this as his masterpiece throughout the years, often returning to polish and enhance an aspect.

Ballyliffin - Old

The course as we know today was opened for play in 1973. True links course with natural grasses and strategic bunkering. Avoiding the pot bunkers that lurk in the fairways is a key component of managing the course - and escaping with your score in tact. A fine layout which provides a stern test for golfers of all skill levels. The back nine features a fantastic stretch of holes bordering the ocean with stunning views out to Glashedy Rock.
