The Old Links
A timeless test of traditional links golf on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic coast.
A True Irish Links
First opened in 1947 and later refined by Eddie Hackett and Nick Faldo, The Old Links is a classic coastal course shaped by natural dunes, Atlantic winds and pure links terrain. Firm fairways, strategic bunkering and sweeping views over Pollan Strand define a round here.

The Spirit of The Old Links
Shaped by Nature
Natural dunes frame undulating fairways, while ever-changing coastal winds ensure no two rounds are the same. Elevated tees, deep revetted bunkers and subtle green complexes make club selection and course management critical throughout.
Memorable Holes
From demanding par threes exposed to Atlantic breezes to risk-and-reward par fives, The Old Links delivers variety and drama from first tee to final green. Strategic tee shots and precise approaches are essential to score well.
