A Guide to Ireland Golf


 
 

Ballyliffin Golf Club, Inishowen, Co.Donegal, Ireland

Ballyliffin Golf Club is located close to Carndonagh and Malin Head on Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula. Ireland's most northerly links comprises 365 acres of spectacular duneland and is practically surrounded by rolling hills and mountains with the only other boundary being the Atlantic Ocean.
The club consists of two courses the first, the “Old Links” opened in1947, and the magnificent new Glashedy Links, which opened to great acclaim in August 1995.

The Old Links is a classically old-fashioned links. Like most fairways here, the terrain twists and tumbles in every conceivable direction. The Old Course bristles with charm, character and curiosity. It is a magnificent course, which hosted the 2008 Irish Seniors Open won by Juan Quiros from Spain, narrowly defeating Des Smyth.

There is a great contrast in styles between the two courses, despite the fact that they share essentially the same topography and surroundings.
Glashedy offers another challenge with its vast undulating greens, enormous bunkers and fairways that twist and roll beneath towering dunes. It is a long course, and with the ever-blowing wind, it can become a monster. 
The Glashedy Links hosted the Ladies Irish Open in 1998 and the North West of Ireland Open in 2002.

The current clubhouse was opened in 2000 and is widely acclaimed for its location, design and the spectacular panoramic view of the golf links and Pollan bay
