Portmarnock Golf Club

27 Hole - Par 72 10,826yards

Portmarnock Golf Club is located on a small peninsula which extends itself just briefly southward into the Irish Sea. Surrounded by water on three sides and laid out in a serpentine fashion, no two successive holes play in the same direction. Unlike many links courses, which play nine out and nine home, Portmarnock demands a continual discernment of wind direction. Another advantage of its peninsular location is the absence of humanity. Only open space and long views of the distant scenery meet the eye, and such should always be the case.

The peninsula also provides a panorama of the Irish coastline: To the south rises the Hill of Howth, to the east the sand hills above the sea and out to Ireland's Eye and the Lambay Islands, to the west the sheltered inlet of the sea and to the north the Mountains of Mourne reaching down to the sea.
