You’ll be hard pushed to find a more dramatic course to see or play than Old Head of Kinsale.
Set on a huge rocky peninsula carved out from the relentless claw of the Atlantic, it is in fact a wonder that the course is still joined to the mainland.

Opened for play in 1997, it is already being mentioned in the same breath as Pebble Beach and according to Joe Carr, one of the designers, in golfing terms it has the potential of being the eight wonder of the world.

With fierce unpredictable winds and 250ft cliff top fairways, advice is to be on top of your game – crampons and ropes are not provided in the clubhouse!
