Ireland's golfing riches can be overwhelming and GOLFLAND
IRELAND is simply the best way to navigate them.
From Ardglass: "Ardglass is an adventure of a course, with
splendid views to the Mountains of Mourne, over the Irish Sea to the Isle of
Man, and beyond to Scotland and England. The golf is very good and select holes
are truly great."
From The Island: "Confusingly, The Island is no longer
strictly on an island, but it does sit on its own peninsula, surrounded by the
sea on three sides. In contrast to other coastal courses in this central
eastern stretch, The Island has heaving dunes. Sure, it can be said of so many
Irish links courses, especially on the other side of the island, that they have
mighty sandhills. But really, these are something to behold."
From Spanish Point: "This is a mature nine-hole links
course, established in 1896, overlooking the beach at Spanish Point, halfway
between Lahinch and Doonbeg. It's twice round for a par 68 at over 5,000 yards.
And you probably will want to play it twice. Out here, on the Wild Atlantic
Way, the longest coastal touring route in the world, this sporty links has two
par 5s and closes with two uproarious par 3s."
