Situated on the south bank of the estuary of the River Boyne, this is a traditional links with the reputation of a tough par of 70. Golf was played here in 1885 and the present club was started in 1909. As it is in a holiday resort it has always been considered a friendly, family-orientated club, famous for producing Ryder Cup players Des Smyth and Philip Walton who both won the captain's prize here. This fine stretch of linksland, playable all year round, is a good test for high and low handicaps and is renowned for the quality of its greens.
