By far one of the best Irish link style courses. This one lacks the real links created by natural dunes but what it lacks in natural dunes it makes up for in spectacular views and a challenging layout An interesting fact about County Sligo Golf Club, also called Rosses Point, is that it was created in 1894 by the uncle and brother of Nobel Prize-winning poet W.B. Yeats. The course boasts one of the most scenic locations in Ireland perched on cliffs that tower over three expansive beaches overlooking the Atlantic. The panoramic mountain and ocean views are spectacular but they pale in comparison to the stunning scenery provided by Benbulben, an enormous limestone rock formation that the area is known for. Besides the great views, the golf course offers an excellent round. The traditional links layout utilized the natural contours of the dune-covered landscape rather than moving large amounts of earth during its design. The end result is a course filled with dramatic undulations, elevated tees, and raised plateau greens. For the less experienced golfers they also have an additional nine hole course. Not easy as there are plenty of traps, ditches and narrow fairways to contend with. But the greens are easier The course had all services with a above par chipping and putting practice area. Excellent pro shop and good food. Spring for caddies you will need then read more
