...the old 9 holes are a bit wild...
Reviewed October 2, 2023
They celebrated the club's 100th anniversary in 2021!!!
The course is located on an island - which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981 - in front of Dubin, right next to the large Royal Dublin, which opened in 1889. For many years you had to get to the island by boat; there was no road or bridge back then.
For decades, nine holes were played here; the 18 holes were only opened in 1989. Eddi Hackett was involved in this development. They completely redesigned the course in 2003 without forgetting the good old elements and built a new clubhouse in the same year. He cannot hide the development from a 9 hole course to an 18 hole course. You can clearly see the differences between the old and the new holes; they have a completely different character.
It's a somewhat wild links - the old 9 holes - which has a lot of typical elements, but also some that aren't.
The yard numbers can inspire respect, Blue 6'732, White 6'532 and Yellow 6'265 - often against the wind!!! Hole 7 with 476 yards Blue Tee was a whopping par 5 today!!!
The number of bunkers you can hit is not quite 100. The fairway bunkers only really come into play on holes 13,15 and 16, where the land zone with the driver is a bit narrow, but there is enough space on all other holes.
The maintenance of the course is very good, 10 days ago a large part was still under water, one of the worst summers in Ireland. July was very hot and very dry for us. August was very, very wet...
The maintenance was largely very good, the greens were very good.
It was great fun, even the scores were impressive...
In relation to Portmarnock Old, Royal Dublin, County Louth, we don't give it the maximum rating of five stars.

Typical links
Reviewed May 21, 2023
This golf course (and another one) is located on a former island in a nature reserve. Interesting to play. The place that forgives mistakes and on which we hardly lost a ball. Even and fair.
Normal bunkers, but not particularly challenging either.
The ravens are cheeky and, if possible, get food from the chart. We also saw several foxes. worth playing.

Links Course

Staff not so friendly. For the price € 60 there are exciting links courses for me it was disappointing prefer another 30 km further north Laytown Bettystown left or Seapoint play

Difficult place in wind
Reviewed September 30, 2013
An open place, which is very exposed to the wind. Fast greens and well manicured fairways. Paths are not too long, roughs at the time of my game is not overly difficult. Compared to directly next door at Royal Dublin Golf Club green fee a bargain! Uncomplicated friendly reception in the Club office.

Links course with little variety
Reviewed July 14, 2013
The fairways resemble each other very little to no variation. Greens in good condition and partly strongly undulating and fast. In the morning there was only the drinks from the vending machine, which was also cleared after a short time. Beautiful Club House, Secretariat seemed a bit overwhelmed, operating under the local average

Beautiful
Reviewed July 5, 2011
St Anne's Golf Course is a typical links course which is usually exposed to the wind. This makes him very rich, challenge. One, two holes have somewhat tricky to duplicating those (security). The reception is very courteous and friendly and the clubhouse offers a great view
