The Old Head Golf Links near Kinsale, is rated in the World Top 100 courses and steeped in Irish History and built on 216-acre headland jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean opened as a golf course in the summer of 1977. So sensitive and challenging was the site it took no less than four renowned course architects to get it right. The team of Ron Kirby, Paddy Merrigan, J. B. Carr and the late Eddie Hackett sure did get it right. They tried 41 different routings before they were satisfied that they had done justice to this magnificent setting, which is arguably the most dramatic golf course in the world.

the Course is on 180-acres with nine of the holes are played along the 300-feet rugged cliff-face giving a testing par-72, SSS 74  7,215 yards off the back tees. Overhead Cormorants, peregrine falcons, guillemots among other rear birds swoop along the cliff face.
