The course now offers a brilliant, dramatic flow. The front nine starts on flatter ground, demanding strategic placement to set up the approaches. The magic truly begins around the turn, particularly from the 8th hole onwards, where the layout weaves spectacularly through massive, shaggy sand dunes. The renovation successfully elevated tees and greens, providing stunning panoramic viewpoints of Dublin Bay, Howth Head, and Lambay Island.

You’ll find the redesigned holes are engaging and challenging, featuring traditional revetted pot bunkers and acutely angled doglegs that demand precision. The new Par-5s and the dramatically shortened Par-3s and Par-4s on the back nine offer exciting risk-reward opportunities, ensuring a fun but testing game for every experienced golfer. It’s an authentic links experience, complete with the Irish Sea breeze, that truly respects the natural terrain.
