THE ISLAND GOLF CLUB
The Island Golf Club boasts one the most spectacular courses in Ireland. The links course hugs the estuary, and winds its way through land strewn with the most towering collection of sand dunes in the area.
The land has dictated the layout of the course, with the rugged sandhills forming the backdrop for most of the holes. As you may imagine, length is not the most important factor at the Island, as golfers must negotiate skillfully through the great humps and hollows.
It is possible to be aggressive, as Darren Clarke showed on his way to a course record round of 63 in the 1999 Smurfit Irish PGA Championship, but if you stray off line, the deep rough that covers the dunes is extremely punishing.
With views back across the estuary to the quaint village of Malahide, this rugged links is truly beautiful, and is marked indelibly as a favourite by all those who visit, especially connoisseurs of links golf.
