Portmarnock Golf Club
Portmarnock is Dublin's great links course — a peninsula-set masterpiece on the Irish Sea that has challenged the world's best golfers for over 130 years. Located just 20 minutes from Dublin city centre, it has hosted more Irish Opens than any other venue and remains one of Europe's premier championship links.
The course occupies a narrow peninsula with water on three sides, meaning the wind changes direction as you move from hole to hole, testing every shot shape in the bag. The turf is pure links — firm, fast, and unforgiving — and the classic layout produces drama from the opening hole to the home green.
