Old
Head Golf Links is built on a 220-acre diamond of land, jutting
out over two miles into the Atlantic; the promontory is almost
an island with numerous caves running beneath your feet as you
play the course.
The
links and practice area occupy 180 acres and the remaining 40
acres of unspoilt cliff frame the course and rise in places to
over 300 feet.
Comprising
of five par 5's, five par 3's and eight par 4's, the links stretches
to over 7,200 yards from the tips and with a minimum of six tees
on every hole, the course provides a stern test to the touring
pro and high handicapper alike.
Nine
holes play along the cliff tops, and all eighteen holes provide
stunning ocean views. The 360-degree vistas will distract you,
but do not relax too much as the ever-changing sea breezes will
challenge you at every turn of this par-72 layout.
