Portmarnock, County Dublin, Ireland
Portmarnock is one of the finest golf links in Ireland. The landscape is relatively flat, however each hole has its own character, resulting in a memorable and challenging golf course, one of the classics throughout the world. Portmarnock is surrounded by water on three sides. It is unique in that no two consecutive holes play in the same direction. This makes judging the wind all the more difficult. More important golf tournaments have been held at Portmarnock than any other Irish course. The British Amateur, The Walker Cup, and Canada Cup have all been held here. But it is perhaps the Irish Open and the illustrious list of winners at Portmarnock, including Ben Crenshaw, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and Jose Maria Olazabal, that most people came to know the Portmarnock Golf Club.
