| Where
nothing is overlooked but the sea. - Portmarnock Hotel and Golf
Links is set in splendid surroundings. The hotel and the course
lie side by side against the dunes of Ireland's East Coast in
a quiet position overlooking the sea, between the villages of
Portmarnock and Malahide. Just 5 miles from Dublin airport,
this elegant 19th century building was originally home to the
Jameson family, famous for their Irish Whiskey. It is now an
international hotel boasting a magnificent 18-hole golf course.
With 180 acres of links terrain, designer Bernhard Langer has
come up with a superb championship course. For professional
and amateur alike, these seaside links combine all the charms
of a traditional links course with the challenges of a modern
game.
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.
