This is a beautiful course. Staff was friendly and I liked the swag you get when you golf here. My caddie was fantastic. The first thing I'm gonna say is going to be an obvious point, but it is an important one... This is LINKS golf. This is PURE links golf. If you do not enjoy links golf, you will absolutely hate this course. If you love links golf, this course should be on your bucket list and you should figure out how soon you can come play it. The next statement is equally obvious, but also equally important... And that is the fact that this is a very VERY expensive round of golf. So, if it is not your brand of golf... This would be a very expensive mistake to make. It's pretty old-school. It's a little quirky. If you're not on your game the day you play, it can kick you in the teeth There are two holes that are absolutely iconic, but they're also a little weird... once again, if you don't like links and quirky, you're not gonna like those two holes On top of that, it's not a golf resort. It's right in the middle of town. This is great on a lot of levels... I actually took the bus to get to the course! But there are downsides to this as well... Some of the holes are right next to a pretty major road. Some of the holes are right on the beach - or at least very close to the beach... But it's a beach that's in use. Surfers and beachgoers might be there. One of the more surprising things is that there is no proper range at this course. You pay a lot of money and then you're not really able to warm up! That's a bit shocking... Especially for me. I had to rent clubs and then I wasn't able to spend time getting used to them. About the rental clubs, I tried to get an idea from them via emails about the quality before I chose to rent the clubs here... They weren't the best. They weren't terrible... They were newer... But they still were "game improvement irons" and the wedges felt like a rock on a stick. In the end, I'm glad I played there but if I had it to do over, I'd probably choose a different course. I only had two days to play during my trip and I think there were better options I could've chose. There were definitely cheaper options! read more

Stunning course. Came here in Fall and the course was still in pretty good shape. Layout is very scenic as well as challenging. The clubhouse here is first class and perfect to catch a pint after walking 18 here. First thing you'll notice here is the wind. Being on the coastline, this place gets a TON of wind. Front 9 is especially the worst where you'll be looking at, at least, 30 mph winds. Some holes it even kicked well higher than that. Overall the course (hole wise) is fairly easy. The wind adds a very special and frustrating challenge to everything. On holes where you think the wind will alter your shot, it doesn't. And other holes where you feel little to no wind, your shot will land smack dab in the rough. And speaking of rough, if you ball happens to land, roll or skip in there; don't bother looking for it. The rough here is at least 2 feet deep and the long grass here hides pretty much every single ball that lands in there. Only time I was able to find my ball was by accidentally stepping on it. The course is grand as well as old school. No towering tree lines or anything like that. Just grass, bunkers and lots of wind. Price here was 100 euro so it isn't cheap but, if you're looking for a nice challenging course on a beautiful coastline, look no further. read more

This review relates to the OLD course. Excellent challenging course. Quirky at times with blind shots and crossing fairways. Caddy is a must. Ours was top notch. Views are great but not like Waterville or old head. Certainly a championship course and a must play if in Ireland. read more

The championship course is a must play. I've played it twice and loved every bit of it. There are many blind shots which made having a caddie a must (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING A CADDIE). The greens were unbeatable. The views were spectacular. And to top it off there are great pubs and restaurants 2 blocks away. read more

amazing course and we had fantastic SUNNY weather while we were there. the setting was 4 stars but it dropped a notch because the staff is less than par to other courses. we booked 6 months in advance and requested 2 caddies for the wives' bags. When we checked in, an hour in advance of our tee time, the Caddie Master said they were short and could only provide one but that he would be excellent. the CM talked him up so much that we should have been suspicious but as tourists, we decided not to cause waves. Looking back, we should have declined the single caddie - it was one of the worst caddie experiences of our 2 week trip. He could not keep up with us and got tired around the 15th hole. We found out that he doesn't even play golf anymore, which explained some of the bad advice he gave us on the fairways and greens. The course itself was in great condition but if we decide to play there again, it will be without a caddie. There are other courses on the Ireland coast that are just as scenic, but with a more professional staff. read more
