Add this experience to your wishlist Portmarnock (Old) Golf Club

See more Golf. Near to Dublin (11.96 km) in Ireland.


Portmarnock Golf Club is situated on its own sandy peninsula, approximately two miles long and covering some 500 acres. The land belonged to the famous distiller, John Jameson, and from around 1850 the links was used as the Jamesons' private golf course. Being almost completely surrounded by water, the course is a windy one, and changes of direction are necessary throughout due to its double-looped shape, which runs very close to the sea at some points. It has hosted the Irish Open and the Canada Cup and is not an easy course, but the views are magnificent.
