About the Course

Since opening in 2021, St Patrick's Links has rapidly earned recognition as one of the world's finest new courses. It debuted at #55 in Golf Magazine's world rankings, then climbed to #44 (2025-26). The routing takes golfers on a journey through huge dunes, high above Sheephaven Bay, along the coast, then back over some more gentle dunes. With plenty of width and an eclectic mix of naturalized bunkers, the course is unlike anything else in the UK & Ireland. The 14th hole is a fun dogleg right that plays along Tramore Beach, making it one of the course's most iconic holes.
