Irish Golf – Links in time.

The joys of links golf on the Irish Sea! If you’re a golf lover and have never experienced links golf along the Irish Sea then add a round at Portmarnock Golf Club it to your list of things to do before reaching the clubhouse in the sky.

Portmarnock is living history to golf in Ireland. Universally acknowledged as one of the truly great links courses, Portmarnock is situated to the north side of Dublin, about 12 miles from the city centre. Its quality and location have made it a splendid venue for some of the game’s great events, including the Walker Cup (amateur version of the Ryder Cup) and 12 staging’s of the Irish Open.

Founded in 1894, the championship course offers a classic, traditional challenge. Invariably rated as Ireland’s best course by the Irish Golf Institute, Portmarnock takes justifiable pride in its 27 holes, which are maintained to the highest standards. Within the curve of the coastline formed by Howth peninsula, it offers stunning views of Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island. But above all, there is the charm of its delightful turf, the wildness, the solitude of the sandhills and the sea, and the ever-present challenge of the wind.

If thinking about a trip to Dublin one must include time for a round at Portmarnock Golf Club. Make sure to take caddie with you to fully enjoy the Irish camaraderie and to assist in navigating this challenging links course.
