Comments: A peaceful place to play with 18 holes of good standard...laid out by Old Tom Morris... This, Portsalon and Ballyliffin should meet all your golfing needs in Donegal ... Unknown links of substantial character... Fairly facile links without ruggedness of other Irish courses. . . A course to learn over time. .. If you play here only on holidays, you will never match your handicap... Remote links of tranquility.
