The Dunluce course at Royal Portrush is
one of the world's finest links courses.
Known as the County Club when first
formed in May 1888, it became the Royal
County Club in 1892 and finally, Royal
Portrush Golf Club in 1895, with the
Prince of Wales as patron. The links has
undergone many changes during the course
of its existence. The initial nine holes
were extended to eighteen by 1889, while
the renowned golf architect, Harry Colt,
designed the present course. Upon
completion of his work at Portrush, Colt
remarked that it represented his best
ever layout. |

Royal
County Down the very words are enough to
send a shiver up your spine. Laid out
beneath the imperious gaze of the
Mountains of Mourne and enjoying a
magnificent setting along the shores of
Dundrum Bay, Royal County Down is truly
one of the world's finest links golf
courses. Designed by Old Tom Morris for
the princely sum of four guineas back in
1889, Royal County Down, as well as
being one of the most beautiful courses
in the world, is also one of the most
challenging. |

Portmarnock Golf Club is universally
acknowledged as one of the world's truly
great links courses and having played
it, you will understand why. Located on
a small peninsula, which extends into
the Irish Sea, Portmarnock is surrounded
by water on three sides and laid out in
serpentine fashion, with no two
successive holes playing in the same
direction. Unlike many courses in this
respect, Portmarnock demands a continual
discernment of wind direction.

Designed by a combination of Ireland's
golfing heroes and design experts, the
Old Head Golf Links is quite simply one
of the most remarkable developments ever
conceived in the history of golf; an
Atlantic promontory that will never be
rivaled in terms of drama and beauty.
The course rises hundreds of feet above
dramatic cliffs, surrounded by the
Atlantic Ocean on all sides and
commanding the most spectacular views
from almost every part |

The
very name Ballybunion Golf Club, strikes
a chord with golfing enthusiasts around
the globe. Rated one of the ten best
golf courses in the world, standing on
the first tee at Ballybunion is every
bit as awe inspiring as one could
imagine in many respects, it's like
standing on the first at the Old Course
in St. Andrews. This is an experience
long since yearned for don't duff it,
don't slice it, don't hook it and
whatever you do, don't put it into the
graveyard! |

The Cashen Course at Ballybunion
is set on the same majestic links
land as its elder sister. Upon
observing the terrain for the
first time, Trent Jones commented
that this was "the finest piece of
links land I have ever seen and
perhaps the finest piece of links
land in the world". With the
Atlantic Ocean on one side and the
river on the other, the tumbling,
undulating, free flowing design is
beauty beyond description in
words. |

One of the
oldest golf clubs in Ireland, Lahinch
Golf Club is also one of the most
respected links courses in the world.
Set right on the Atlantic coastline,
Lahinch is exposed to the ocean through
all her moods and has been molded and
shaped over the centuries by nature's
harsh elements and an occasional touch
of human genius. Lahinch, with its
towering sand dunes, undulating
fairways, rolling greens and fair share
of blind shots, is the perfect natural
golfing terrain a true links in the
traditional meaning of the word. |
