| Donegal is Ireland's hidden gem, undoubtedly one of its most
beautiful counties. Its indented coastline has been carved by
the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, which travel 3,000 miles to
pound down on its shores. Its thanks to this remarkable coastline
that Donegal is home to a third of all the links courses in
Ireland - which is home to a third of all the links courses
in the world. This seven day tour combines everything Donegal
is famous for - great links golf, stunning settings and charming
hospitality. |

Ballyliffen
- Glashedy Links
Described as "The Ballybunion of the North" Ballyliffen is Ireland's
most northerly links and comprises 365 acres of spectacular
dune land, surrounded by rolling hills and mountains with the
Atlantic Ocean as its western boundary. Glashedy Links opened
for play in August 1995 and its location on the north western
Atlantic Coast makes it a magnificent setting. Designed by Pat
Ruddy and Tom Craddock, it has been laid out on predominantly
higher ground above and beyond the Old Links. The challenge
presented by the Glashedy Links is almost as formidable as it
is exhilarating. |

The Greencastle Golf Club is bordered on one side by the waters
of Lough Foyle, with panoramic views across the mountains of

Portsalon Golf Club, Donegal
Portsalon is one of those truly wonderful Donegal courses that
doesn't get nearly the number of visitors it should do, or would
do if it were located near Dublin, Killarney or Cork. It is
a truly natural links, with most of the course set in glorious
duneland beside the Atlantic. Portsalon is a favourite for Irish
golfers, as it's a course that should not be under estimated
even by the most experienced golfer.

Rossapena
Golf Club
It is here, where the bays of Sheephaven and Mulroy converge,
that a unique experience awaits. The wild Atlantic has chiselled
the rugged features of Rosapenna and the beauty is spectacular,
the air is invigorating and the welcome is warm and sincere.
Each hole is both a challenge and a charm, with picture postcard
scenes composed of mountains, oceans, sky and dunes. Rosapenna
offers golfers an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy links golf
at its best. |

Dunfanaghey
Golf Club, Donegal
Golf here goes back to the early days to just 25 years or so
after the setting up of St Andrews in Scotland. The local landlord,
Stewart of Horn Head, was one of the founding fathers of St
Andrews and when he purchased his property in Horn Head he established
five holes on a narrow strip of sand dunes for the entertainment
of his guests - no holes, just five fencing posts and foolish
men trying to hit them with a wee, wooden ball. Rest assured
today's course, designed by the legendary Harry Vardon has improved
a great deal since its simple beginnings and offers golfers
of all experience a unique and enjoyable experience. |
