Rosapenna — Sandy Hills Links

On the wild Ards Peninsula in Donegal, Rosapenna Hotel and Golf Resort offers two 18-hole links courses — the Sandy Hills Links and the historic Old Tom Morris course. The Sandy Hills is the headline act: Pat Ruddy's modern masterpiece through towering dunes with views of Sheephaven Bay and the Knockalla Mountains.

Rosapenna is a pilgrimage destination — the combined quality of the two courses, the remote Donegal setting, and the traditional resort atmosphere creates an experience of complete immersion in golf that's increasingly rare in the modern world. It sits near the peak of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
