It was once
the best kept secret in golf, but Ballyliffin has recently been
described as "the Ballybunion of the North." Situated
close to Malin Head on Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula, Ireland's
most northerly links comprises 365 acres of spectacular duneland
and is practically surrounded by rolling hills and mountains -
the only other boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. Ballyliffin Golf
Club has two 18-hole courses:
the classic Old
Links and the magnificent new Glashedy Links, which opened for
play in August 1995.
The Glashedy Links
measures over 7000 yards from the Championship tees, with vast
undulating greens, cavernous bunkers and fairways that twist and
roll beneath towering dunes. The challenge presented by the Glashedy
Links is almost as formidable as it is exhilarating. The Old Links
is a very testing old-fashioned links.
