of the famous Christy O’Connor Snr., this championship
links course is a magnificent stretch of shallow dune

without doubt one of the world’s greatest links
courses. Unlike many championship links courses which
play nine out and nine home, Portmarnock demands a
continual discernment of wind direction. Another
advantage of its peninsular location is the open space
and long views of the distant scenery that meet the eye. |
