Firm & Fast
Situated in Ireland’s Sunny South-East, the links typically plays firm and fast throughout much of the year. Though relatively flat in appearance, it demands imagination and precision, with run-offs, subtle undulations, pot bunkers and the occasional blind shot rewarding thoughtful strategy over raw power.
A par 72 with four par 5s and four par 3s, the Old Course offers a balanced challenge, from reachable opportunities to demanding one-shotters, ensuring golfers of all abilities are tested and engaged.
The Old Course
A Championship Links Experience
Laid out across a narrow sandy peninsula, seven holes play out along the coast before turning for home across firm, natural terrain. At 6,702 yards, it is not long by modern standards but length is never the defining test on a true links. Coastal breezes, ever-changing conditions and the natural contours of the land ensure the course plays differently every day.
One of Ireland’s Top courses
Consistently ranked among Ireland’s Top 100 courses, it is a course defined not by spectacle but by integrity, where the sound of the waves, the sea breeze and the purity of links golf combine to create an experience that brings golfers back time and again.
