Where Challenge Meets Beauty

Our Course

Crafted by local Ryder Cup legend and celebrated course architect Christy O’Connor Jnr., who fondly called it the “jewel in his crown,” our 18-hole championship course showcases sweeping views of the wild Atlantic from every hole, and the challenge is every bit as memorable as the scenery.

The par-72 layout stretches over 7,300 yards from the back tees, featuring rolling terrain, expansive and intricate green complexes, and immaculate conditioning throughout. Our iconic hawthorn trees will leave you in no doubt as to the prevailing wind, which travels uninterrupted across the Atlantic ensuring a memorable challenge for golfers of all levels.
