It was christened 'the Dornoch of Ireland' and for years golfers in the know regarded Ballyliffin as the ultimate hidden gem. Not only is this one of the friendliest clubs in the country but the setting is unsurpassed and the quality of the terrain is as close to perfect as you'll find.
Glashedy Links
18 holes, 72 par, 7102 yards. Links.A stunning layout that incorporates the surrounding landscape beautifully and offers amazing views of the Inishowen Peninsula. The Glashedy could not be more different to its sister course. There are a number of long par 4s that will require every ounce of your ability if you're to play to your handicap. It also uses huge undulating greens that are well protected by bunkers to provide a challenging yet highly rewarding round.

Old Links
18 holes, 71 par, 6612 yards. Links.This superb course features beautiful fairways that roll through wild dunes to create an incredibly undulating layout. It helps to have good balance, as you'll rarely find a flat lie, which adds another testing dimension to this fantastic course. The course has recently undergone a renovation by Faldo Design, making subtle changes to tee positions and the bunkers, to improve its playability and enhance the surrounding beauty. The 5th hole will live long in the memory, as the 190 yard par 3 uses an elevated green surrounded by dunes to intimidate even the lowest handicappers.
