Comments: Nine-hole course perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean...The 6th hole over the cove defies belief... With the Atlantic crashing against the rocks this is an evocative experience... Not in great condition but this is golf back to its roots... Don't let the fact it's half a course put you off . . . A blinder.

Comments: A sensational links... Can't be bettered... The match of any of Ireland's links legends... Opened in 1960 but has an older feel to it . .. A gruelling course. .. Course goes on and on ... Blue Stack Mountains dominate the course... 5th named the Valley of Tears and rightly so... Staggering. .. Long course putting great pressure on the short game... Longest course in Ireland... Course that fires the imagination. .. Pray your driver is working ... Drive badly and you're out with the washing... A Goliath of a course, felt like David... Exciting... Exhilarating.
