Golf Course Information
Situated on the shoreline of a rugged peninsula, The Links Portmarnock was the first golf course that International Management Group (IMG) developed in Ireland and opened for play in 1995. It was therefore fitting that Bernhard Langer chose this magnificent setting to design his first links course being a three-time winner of the Irish Open at nearby Portmarnock Golf Club and The Royal Dublin Golf Club.
Along with architect Stan Eby, they designed a course that is a challenge for all golfers, set in the grounds of the old Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks; the course has played host to professional and amateur events including 2008 and 2009 Ladies Irish Open. The recent investment programme by new owners Kennedy Wilson includes upgraded machinery, extensive upgrades of the course, the creation of a short game area, riveting of traditional links pot bunkers, grass pathway and enhancements that make full use of the natural links land.
You will enjoy the formidable challenge of a Bernhard Langer designed championship links and deluxe hotel (Golf Hotel of the Year 1999) offering exceptional comfort and the best of traditional Irish hospitality. Portmarnock Links makes full use of the dunes and natural terrain to provide a layout that will please the most ardent of links purists.
The elevated tees and greens, blind approaches and doglegs, not to mention typical links sea breezes, will keep you thinking through every round. Gently undulating, luxuriously sprung fairways lead to large fast greens must be negotiated through 98 strategically placed bunkers, while hillocks, wild grasses and gorse await wayward shots.
