  The Island

Already having played host to several major Championships, The Island Golf Course has now been named as the Irish qualifying venue for the Open Championship (formerly The British Open) from 2005 / 2010. This auspicious honour prompting many to say that the course has finally come of age since its foundership in 1890.

Receiving its name from the spur of land the locals called “The Island” the course underwent a major redesign by Fred Hawtree and Eddie Hackett.

Although increasing the course length and cutting the blind shots, the course still retains its character and charm.
Surrounded by water on three sides, this is a true links course and should be a must on a visit to the Dublin area.
