Portmarnock Old Golf Club

Portmarnock Old Golf Club is spectacularly situated on a narrow peninsula north of Dublin, surrounded by the Irish Sea on three sides. It is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s finest links courses and has hosted numerous international championships over the decades, including the Irish Open and the Walker Cup.

The layout is classic and uncompromising. Fairways wind through natural sand dunes, with strategically placed bunkers and fast, true greens that demand precision and control. Wind is a constant presence, shaping the round with authentic links dynamics where positioning and distance control are essential.

The course is renowned for its balance of fairness and challenge. From the tee, several holes appear open and inviting, yet approach shots require accuracy and the correct angle of attack. Portmarnock Old Golf Club delivers a traditional and authentic links experience just a short drive from Dublin city centre and the airport.

For experienced golfers seeking to play one of Ireland’s most respected links courses, Portmarnock Old stands out as a highlight on a golf trip to Dublin and the East Coast.
