Tralee
Tralee is most well known for its spectacular back nine. Of it, course designer Arnold Palmer said: “I may have designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine.”
What is a links? It is the oldest style of golf course, first developed in Scotland. The word “links” comes via the Scots language from the Old English word hlinc, meaning “rising ground, ridge”[1] and refers to an area of coastal sand dunes.
Royal Portrush
Hosts to the 148th Open Championship, the Dunluce at Royal Portrush is a masterclass in how a links course should play. An unforgettable golf experience
So what makes a true links? A true links course will be located along the coast. Links golf courses are made up of sandy soil and will generally have little vegetation other than tall sea grassses like marin; and gorse bushes.
The natural terrain is used to develop the golf holes. The back nine in Tralee is a wonderful example where Arnold Palmer actually credits God as the real designer. One reason why the game of golf originated on this type of land was because it suited play in the day. Course designers were limited by their resources for moving earth to shape the course and many of the bunkers were once natural, windswept dunes.

Recently upgraded, this links gem is situated on the Donegal coast and is a true test of links golf. A magnificent course set in one of the most unspoiled and beautiful parts of Ireland…

par-three holes I have ever encountered on the same golf course.” – Tom Watson
Portstewart
“the golf course is amazing. It’s probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most” – Jon Rahm, Irish Open winner 2017
”The Irish people are fantastic. They really know the game of golf, a lot like the Scots. They support us all tremendously and the Irish Open has always been one of my favourite tournaments because of the people and because of the great golf courses. I think I won three Irish Opens on three different golf courses..” – Bernhard Langar
