Top site!
Reviewed June 16, 2022
We played this course in late May 2022 and were totally impressed with the scenery, course layout and maintenance. Each hole is a golfing experience in itself! This place is worth every cent and a trip in any case! We are looking forward to the next time!

Pure golf with Irish friendliness
Reviewed November 2, 2019
I do not know exactly how to describe this extraordinary day, in an extraordinary place with exceptional people...
Maybe just: a must for anyone who really loves golf, who likes to bring a nice day with nice people and does so in incredible natural surroundings.
Even if there are actually people who complain about the price. It's worth every penny. How much love such a gem is put into such a state.
I could rave about so many great holes right now, and not just about the famous 7,13 and 14. That's what I do best: every single hole is awesome. Do it and enjoy it!!!
The father built it, the son lives it with his cordiality. Many thanks for this unique day!

Great service great place
Reviewed April 27, 2019
If you are greeted at one of the top places in the world with such kindness and friendliness as here in the reception and in the clubhouse, this should be mentioned before the course rating.
That the place belongs to the best, what there is in the links golf does not have to be mentioned.
That the condition (27.4.2019) was perfect was rather sooner.
For anyone who wants to enjoy Irish humor, paired with Irish hospitality and a great place, come here. gengepaartununmiirisgGolfplatz

Madness...
Reviewed September 1, 2018
The first tea we put in 1996 in the Irish soil. This was our second links course we played - to Rosslare in the south.
True links courses are only about 150 in the world.
Even today we like to admit it, we were overwhelmed. Not the length ruined our score, but the trajectory and the greens. The balls were just not there where we wanted them, yes, they even threatened to go out. The wind also plays along well.
So today, but the score was okay.
Even then he was one of the best places in the world. Today he is still in the top 100 in the world, in the Top 30 British Iceland and Top 10 in - all Links Courses - Ireland.
Hole 7,13, and 14 are listed in the book by Jeff Barr - 1001 Golf Holes - the best golf holes in the world. The image description begins with this text: "For European conditions, this Parcourss opened in 1992 is a true baby".
In the book for every day a golf course - 365 Golf Courses - he also finds mention.
At Christmas 1992, this course was opened after Pat Ruddy had invested every available pound and five years. At the opening he is said to have said: "There are two types of golf courses, one is given by nature, the others, if you take 30 million, dig a bit in the ground, you already have an instant golf course."
Pat Ruddy has been golfing all his life, as a good amateur player, golf author, golf journalist, golf publisher and as a golf course architect. He is considered the world leader in links courses, has done extensive work in large squares.
And one more thing is remarkable: there are only 125 members. So enough guests have the opportunity and the time to play here.
We want to repeat our very first Ireland Golf trip. We play here for the third time today and are excited again. In my hand I have the birdie book from that time - This Book will help you!
Bring along, fill the bag with golf balls and on top of it a lot of humility, then you can enjoy the round.
Simply madness...
It just fits, even if only the tea items with the hole-no, the distance is given. We belong to the tradition conscious, never look at a glass, because we have no electronic helpers. We prefer to look at the course and the landscape...
So you used to play golf.

Price-performance not so optimal
Reviewed June 18, 2018
In any case, a place that is not boring and is quite demanding.
Links Cours as you wish it! Why only 3 stars? I think with a price of 225 .-- € I expect more equipment. No hints how to go to the next tee and no info on the tee over the layout of the train. Then at least the Birdiebook should be given free of charge. I want to emphasize that I think the place quite interesting, even the personal reception all good, but I found that in places that cost only 1/4!
My rating:
5 stars for the place and 1 star for the price-performance ratio!

Pure nature!!
Reviewed July 9, 2017
Links Golf in true perfection! We played the pitch on 7/7/17. Very friendly welcome in the pro shop. Helpful and hospitable was the place explained to us. To the place: greens and fairways are fast and in good condition. You should bring enough balls, because the course is a real tester also for very good golfers. Tip: play the square 2x so that you can enjoy it properly. Especially in wind he can become a monster. Scenic one of the most beautiful places I've ever played!! The holes are designed to feel alone on the pitch. You can feel the peace in the truest sense of the word. The holes are varied, none is the same as the other. Specifically, 20 holes are played (FIGS. 7a and 13a). 2 par 3 holes which have it in itself. Conclusion: the course is suitable for medium to good golfers.
Let's play it.

Golf outing Ireland in July 2016
Reviewed July 14, 2016
Super golf course, probably the most difficult place I've ever played. Staff is super friendly and the place was well maintained. Our group liked it so much that we played it for 2 days later again the place. On this day we had 70 km / h wind, because it was absolutely unplayable. Was only "Comedy Golf" but we have amused us delicious. The restaurant / clubhouse is unfortunately no longer in the present standard.
For all who wish to torment, a must!

Golfers dream - nightmare
Reviewed May 14, 2016
An indescribable experience on one of the most beautiful and most difficult links courses in the world.
This meadow is brutal and the bunkers suck the balls a like vacuum cleaners!
Forgot score, take enough balls and always hold the camera ready!

Brutal severe space
Reviewed November 1, 2013
One of the finest golf course but mega heavy! Who is not on the fairway should definitely play an extra ball, since the ball is not a scrub to find! We have also lost balls in the bunker, as these are side lined with wooden planks and when the ball hits them they are in somewhere!
One should not keep an eye on the place but just enjoy his score.
Place owner very friendly and courteous.

The best and most challenging links course, I know!
Reviewed September 30, 2013
Here, the famous designer and Space Operator Pat Ruddy has realized his dream and created a space that has no equal. Imaginative and brutal are the tracks that hardly forgive a mistake. Not for the faint of heart or unsafe player!
Pat Ruddy lives and lives with his family in the clubhouse, is much in the pro shop and club house easy. One has the impression that the place and its players, from the normal green fee players to the Spitzenpros including Tiger Woods, playing the course, are his life. A conversation with him is worth it!
The previous reviews I can fully confirm.

Simply bombastic!
Reviewed January 17, 2013
I can only confirm the previous review! The place is perfect and without blemish!
The € 180 is worth every penny and who is speculating on discount stay away from the place! He is not as old as Royal County Down or Old Portmarnock, respectively. Royal Portrush but plays in the same league. To the observations Betr. denim jeans that have not lost not only here but belong to the hotel in the closet! In Ireland, those trousers are available on many golf courses as an insult looked so waived or goes for a walk with the dog!
Finally, combined pure pleasure and all that brings've never played a links course in this type many, many Pro VI to Brittas Bay! Who does not just need the ball hits 150 meters on each hole 3-4 balls! Incidentally, this is not a joke but a fact!

Must Play in Ireland
Reviewed July 15, 2012
Played in July, 2012. The 5 stars are not enough because this place is more. Who for the first time a "real" links course is playing (like we did) and then here comes forth is trapped. What Mr. Ruddy has built here is without words: the place has a total of 20 holes (7 and 7a, 12a and 12 and both are a short par 3's) and is a par 77 (!) (!). Everyone is free to play only 18, he has par 71, but who does that already?
The lanes are a good look and the hand of a golf lover (Mr Ruddy) was "embedded" in the dunes and nestled through the knee-deep rough in the landscape. The bunkers are some very deep, very common part ;-) and some very small. For fastening the hopper walls are attached with Holsbohlen what the eye is doing well and the game may also.
The fairways are very well maintained and, as befits a links course, kept stubble short, the transition from fairway to green are often not seen and it is found that one already on the green is when you get there surprised - it was because the undulation has found her victim and the ball has passed into one of the small hidden bunker. Here one learns very quickly the course management is important and the club selection becomes a very important part of the game (very important when playing the 12 is the position of the flag: the green is 127 yards long).
The dunes are sometimes so high that you would completely lose your bearings when signs were not attached to the next tee boxes. The paths from green to tee box may already be times longer, but the looks between compensation (take your camera!) Total.
In the pro shop you will receive allerfreundlichst and it is often chatted. Note: In the restaurant (small and not bombastic but very simple set up) Please note that you can not get service when occurring in denim (blue jeans), golf pants are ok.
It's worth the short tee times to ask, because then ever significantly reduced green fees at up to 50% less than the regular price.
Conclusion: We were just impressed with this place and would like to congratulate Mr Pat Ruddy, to this course he has created with much love. As I said, a must-play if the golfers play here in Ireland and we would definitely do it again.
