  • Courses

    Portmarnock Resort - Jameson Links - Ranked No 26 in Ireland

    Set amongst the natural dunes of the Dublin coastline, Portmarnock Links provides a spectacular introduction to links golf in Ireland.

    Designed by two-time Masters Champion Bernhard Langer, the course winds its way through classic links terrain, with undulating fairways, strategically placed bunkers and the ever-present coastal wind creating a different challenge from one day to the next.

    With views across the Irish Sea and a layout that rewards both good course management and confident shot-making, Portmarnock Links is an ideal course on which to begin our Dublin experience.


    Royal Dublin Golf Club - Ranked No 19 in Ireland

    Situated on Bull Island in Dublin Bay, Royal Dublin is one of Ireland’s most historic and celebrated links courses.

    Founded in 1885, the course offers a traditional links test, with firm fairways, deep bunkering and coastal winds placing a premium on accuracy and imagination.

    Its championship pedigree and spectacular location make Royal Dublin a special addition to the trip and an opportunity to experience one of the great names in Irish golf.

    A meal following golf is included at Royal Dublin 


    The Island Golf Club - Ranked No 7 in Ireland

    The Island Golf Club provides a spectacular setting for another unforgettable round of Irish links golf.

    Surrounded by sea on three sides and routed through towering natural dunes, the course has a wonderfully secluded feel and is regarded as one of Ireland’s great traditional links experiences.

    Narrow fairways, dramatic dune formations and constantly changing coastal conditions create a course that is both visually impressive and a genuine test of every part of your game.

    It is a fitting course to complete an outstanding three days of golf in Dublin.
