Old Head
Type: Links

This stunning course is located on an promontory which juts out into the Atlantic ocean. It is unlikely that it will ever be rivalled in terms of beauty and drama, rising hundreds of feet above dramatic cliffs and surrounded by the ocean on all sides.

Designed by a combination of Ireland's golfing heroes and design experts, the Old Head Golf Links is quite simply one of the most remarkable developments ever conceived in the history of golf; an Atlantic promontory that will never be rivaled in terms of drama and beauty. The course rises hundreds of feet above dramatic cliffs, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on all sides and commanding the most spectacular views from almost every part.

The Old Head of Kinsale is an area rich in historical, archaeological and scientific interest. It is a national monument and an ancient royal site, fortified by a castle at the narrowest part of the promontory, with history traceable back to several centuries before Christ.
