Portmarnock Links
Despite its relative youth Portmarnock Links has forged such a strong reputation that it is now held in the same high regard as other, more established, world-class links courses in the UK and Ireland. The Portmarnock Links opened to great acclaim in June 1995 and has been receiving accolades from visiting golf writers and top professionals ever since. Bernhard Langer has used all of his considerable golfing experience to create a classic links of the very highest order.
Host to many top amateur and professional events including the 2008 & 2009 Ladies Irish Open, this championship links boasts all of the features inherent to a classic links course. Elevated tees, blind approaches, sweeping undulations, devilish pot bunkers and, of course, the typical links sea breezes are all present and they combine to offer golfers of all abilities an authentic and infinitely enjoyable test of links golf. As with many of the top class links courses around the UK and Ireland, Portmarnock was built on perfect sandy links turf and as such the course drains exceptionally well, thus allowing golfers to play all year round.
Following a day on the fairways, golfers can enjoy a light bite in either the Jameson Bar, that is situated in the Jameson House or retire to the Seaview for breathtaking views of the sea and golf course.

Excellent golf course which was in great condition for the time of year. Greens were running very true. Very good test of golf with some very memorable holes.
Very tricky and hard course but really enjoyed it!
