The Portmarnock Links opened in 1996 and has been receiving accolades from visiting golf writers and top professional golfers ever since. This course is a classic links masterpiece to rival any of the great Irish and Scottish courses. Inspirational use of natural dunes land features, and the creative use of elevated tees and greens, acutely angled dog-legs, and ninety-eight strategically placed bunkers even test the most accomplished of players. Each individual hole presents its own unique and exacting challenge, which, as the round progresses, provokes and increasing sense of anticipation to discover the delights of the next.
