Seapoint Golf Links

Despite less history than traditional Irish links, these testing fairways have hosted plenty of significant tournaments from the Irish PGA to notable amateur competitions.

At a monstrous 7,150 yards, even the scratch golfers will be tested with the undulating greens, dunes, and harsh gorse.

As a typical links, weather affects the play. Can you adjust your game to the legendary Irish terrain and win your own Irish PGA Championship?

Course

The opener is a forgiving hole--but the tee is in front of the clubhouse, so no pressure!

Keep the drive central and you could be approaching from the second stroke--chip on to the spacious green to birdie this par-4.

Hole 17, a par-3, is one of the finest. Anything under-hit will find the bunkers, so it's best to take an extra club for the 185 yards.

At the end of the back nine, a 547-yard par-5 with plenty of deep bunkers will even test the pros. Don't be disappointed with a par!

Cover the distance on this narrow fairway, keep it simple, and don't bottle it in front of the clubhouse.

Remember, even Des Smyth, Ryder Cup legend said, "I know my game is in great shape when I play well around Seapoint."

If the pros find it hard, don't sweat it, just head to the 19th for a Guinness.

Clubhouse

A fireplace. Large sports screens. A well-stocked bar.

The Seapoint Bar & Restaurant is what every 19th hole should be: an informal, welcoming space to catch up and enjoy a well-earned pint.

On top of this, the fresh and locally sourced produce creates the perfect recovery meal after conquering 18 holes.

Whether you want a classic fish and chips or a full English, there's something for everybody.
