Portmarnock Links is one of Ireland's most prestigious and challenging courses. The course, designed by Bernhard Langer, is laid out on classic links landscape which once formed part of the old Jameson Estate. Their home has been tastefully converted to an international hotel with the grounds now hosting a magnificent 18-hole golf links.
The Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links is set in splendid surroundings overlooking the beach. From the 1st hole, a short par 4 framed on the right by an ancient graveyard and a fairway traversed by water, to the magnificent 18th a golfing masterpiece, each distinctive hole provides a unique and exciting challenge. Rated as one of the best in Europe by Darren Clarke, Portmarnock is clearly one of Ireland's finest links courses.
"(Looking at)...The Links at Portmarnock is like looking at an old painting after it has been restored: The colours appear fresh and rich, with the bunkers sharp and well defined. And you find yourself wondering if this is how the great historical links courses like St. Andrews would have looked just after the final piece of turf had been laid in place." Bill Robertson in Today's Golfer
"Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links manages an uncanny blend of the traditional perspective with all that's best in modern architectural design. Don't miss this rare and invigorating experience." John Redmond - Author -Great Golf Courses of Ireland
