Old Head


 Old Head Golf Links, perched on a striking headland near Kinsale, County Cork, is one of Ireland’s most dramatic links golf destinations. Surrounded almost entirely by the Atlantic Ocean, the course offers breathtaking panoramic views, rugged cliffs, and a unique golfing experience where every hole combines natural beauty with strategic challenge.

The layout winds along the cliff tops and through rolling coastal dunes, featuring fast fairways, challenging bunkers, and finely contoured greens. Coastal winds and elevation changes demand precision, creativity, and careful club selection on every shot. Signature holes, including the famous par-5 finishing hole, provide both visual drama and memorable tactical decisions, making each round an unforgettable test of skill.

Old Head has hosted numerous professional events and is widely admired for its combination of natural scenery, strategic design, and uncompromising links character. For golfers seeking a truly exceptional Irish coastal golf experience, Old Head Golf Links offers a rare blend of challenge, beauty, and authenticity. Its unforgettable setting on the southern Irish coastline ensures every visit is a remarkable highlight of any golf trip to Ireland.
