Portmarnock Golf Links is a Bernhard Langer designed championship course on the same stretch of coastline as its more famous neighbour, Portmarnock Golf Club. Reflecting the golfing style of its creator, Portmarnock Links is a high-quality golf course that flows naturally through the seaside duneland. A prominent feature is the quality of the many bunkers, deep and penalising but always visible. Indeed the golf course is presented in such a way as to inform you the eaxct nature of the shot required with an equally clear signal that there is little room for error. The course is also designed in such a way as to just get better as each hole is played. The first 6 holes are played away from the coastal area before moving towards and finally along the Irish Sea. The finishing holes are especially challenging and require patience and concentration, as well as well-executed golf shots to successfully conclude what is certain to be a memorable round.
