Donegal Golf Club

Murvagh, Laghey, County Donegal, Ireland

Characteristics

Set on a peninsula in Donegal Bay and susceptible to some quite ferocious ocean winds, this course is a mesmerizing test of links golf and arguably one of the finest links in Irish golf.

Described famously by an English golf journalist as 'hauntingly beautiful', it is everything you want it to be; tough, enjoyable, full of surprises and wonderfully inviting regardless of your skill level. There are great views of the Blue Stack Mountains and a wide variety of holes to enjoy during your round. Perhaps the finest of the lot is the short fifth, aptly called 'The Valley of Tears'.

Surrounded by lots of water

We really liked the course layout, you don't feel cramped anywhere, all flights have enough space. Hole 5 is a challenging par 3, a pleasure for every ambitious golfer. In terms of landscape, the course is surrounded by water on three sides, which always guarantees beautiful views. Some tees are very nice on top of dunes. Great, fast greens that you should let the balls roll up on.

A linkscourse to relax and enjoy

Even if the place is not that old - it's a really nice linkscourse. And after Carne, Enniscrone and Sligo probably the easiest of our links course. That also did good once. Although here, too, the fairways are very hilly and if you do not know the place, you will find the ball somewhere else after a supposedly good blow. The dune grass, on the other hand, is fair, being relatively short. So that the balls are usually found again. Like in Sligo - which I've never experienced before, the ball should be in one of the water channels, there are ball fishing everywhere. Otherwise, there are also many blind strokes, and you have to be surprised where the ball landed. We play with our hickory clubs and arrived in knickerbockers according to our standards. The president of the golf club welcomed us personally. The members of the club and the staff were super friendly and they quickly got into conversation.
