The European Club: The links of the European Club in Co. Wicklow have developed into one of Ireland's finest links golf courses in a relatively short period of time. This high quality layout displays a combination of rugged dunes, deep bunkers, sea breezes and large undulating greens.

The European Club is renowned for hosting the Irish PGA Championship in 2007 & 2008. This event, held the week before the British Open, was used as valuable preparation by Padraig Harrington and undoubtedly played a major role in his back to back ‘Open’ triumphs.

Portmarnock Golf Club: Universally acknowledged as one of the world's truly great links courses. Located near Dublin on a small peninsula, which extends into the Irish Sea, Portmarnock is surrounded by water on three sides and is laid out in a serpentine fashion, with no two successive holes playing in the same direction.

Portmarnock is the spiritual home of the Irish Open which has been hosted here on a record 19 occasions. Some of the winners at the venue include legends of golf such as Ben Crenshaw, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam and Jose Maria Olazabal. The course also hosted the prestigious Canada Cup (World Cup) in 1960 when the American ‘dream team’ pairing of Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead emerged victorious.

Royal County Down: Laid out beneath the imperious gaze of the Mountains of Mourne and enjoying a magnificent setting along the shores of Dundrum Bay, Royal County Down is truly one of the world’s finest links golf courses.

Walking down the first fairway with the sound of breaking waves in your ears is a truly memorable occasion. It is said that you can always spot the first-time visitor to Newcastle as they can be seen walking up the first fairway backwards, the beauty behind is so enchanting. The 9th hole is the most photographed hole in the world.

Portstewart Golf Club: Situated on Ulster's magnificent Causeway Coast, Portstewart Golf Club is one of the very few 45 hole complexes in Europe. While the jewel in the Portstewart crown is undoubtedly the Strand Course, visitors may also choose from the par 64 Old Course and the nine hole Riverside Course. Measuring 6 779 yards from the championship stakes, the Strand Course at Portstewart is set in classic links country amidst towering sand dunes. It is a difficult but fair links layout and offers magnificent views of the Donegal Hills, Atlantic Ocean, Strand Beach and River Bann.

In days when development of new courses can run into millions of pounds, it is to the credit of Portstewart Golf Club, that their own staff has largely created the layout at the Strand Course.

Portstewart has played host to many major amateur and professional championships over the years, including the British Girls Championship in 2006 and will again host the British Amateur Open this summer.
