The Links Portmarnock, as it's known, is a classical seaside links course set on 180 acres. The ancient 12th century church of St. Marnock overlooks the property, while the two offshore islands of Lambay & Ireland's Eye provide stunning views.

The course possesses all the characteristic of a true links, natural terrrain combined with elevated greens, strategically placed bunkers, blind approach shots and acute doglegs.

The Links Portmarnock was designed by Bernhard Langer and represents his first foray into links design. According to Langer: "There were very few locations in Europe that could have allowed me ... to design a classic championship links. I hope all those who play it discover its magic and challenging beauty".

The course is built around Jameson House, home of the famous whiskey family, which has been converted into a hotel of international repute.
