Old Head Golf Links
The remarkable golf course is the creation of a team of divergent experts, including Ron Kirby, Liam Higgins, Dr. Joe Carr, and the late Eddie Hackett. Every single hole at Old Head is an absolutely remarkable experience, and has incredible views of the iconic lighthouse and the surrounding Atlantic.
The land itself boasts an amazing history, but for now its main attraction is the golf course, which is quickly establishing itself among the world's elite - playing Old Head as part of a Cork Tour will be an unforgettable experience.
For many the course starts off a little slowly with the par-4 1st hole a relatively simple two shot hole which plays away from the sea but you don’t have to wait long before finding a stunning view with the 2nd hole lined by the Atlantic Ocean just to your left. Many will argue that the 3rd and 7th holes are two of the finest par-3’s you’ll experience anywhere in the world, with the 4th hole offering yet another memorable ocean view experience. All in all you’ll struggle not to enjoy Old Head, the course offers unforgettable holes throughout and if you get it on a calm, sunny day you’ll be in for a treat that can challenge any golf course in the world.
At over 7,100 yards off the championship markers, the course is certainly a challenging one off the tee but there is a good choice of tee options available to golfers looking for a slightly easier experience.
Golfers heading to the 19th Hole will find themselves enjoying panoramic views across the course with a host of fantastic food ranging from fine dining within the de Courcey Dining Room to the popular Lusitania Bar.
Signature Hole – No. 17: Par 5, 623 yards (Black Tees)
The signature hole at Old Head is the 17th. The long par 5 plays at 623 yards from the back tees and demands both length and accuracy given the harsh slope towards the Atlantic Ocean lining the left side of the hole. As you drive towards the iconic Lighthouse, the braver golfers will try to keep left to give themselves the best approach possible but there is no shame in keeping right, especially with the prevalent sea breeze. One of the most picturesque holes on the golf course is both challenging and mesmerising and those who walk away with a par should be very happy.

The Old Head golf is certainly one of the most stunning courses you can thnik of in Europe. The landscape is breathtaking, holes design is unbelievable. The course was in exceptional shape (tee box, fairways, greens). It is highly advisable to hire a caddy (which we did) because the wind conditions make it very difficult to chose your line of play, especially on the greens which were probably as fast as you can have on some Tour events. The staff are incredibly nice and professional. Great food at the restaurant. In a nutshell : perfect. Don't hesitate to play it more than once, because the experience in unforgettable.

An absolute topper - generally rated by all of us as up there with the best (possibly even the GOAT by one or two). The 350 euro green fee seems a bit steep but, obviously, that's hidden in our package. We carried/pulled and played off society tees in relatively benign conditions - two days later it was incessant rain and I'm not sure that middle to higher handicappers would enjoy that. But very glad we played it and particularly in the conditions we had. Staff were very friendly - we had a 1630 tee-time but were ready by 1530 or so and they sent us off earlier which suited us as well. Not close to groups in front or behind (except one 2-ball we let through) so able to enjoy the golf and the sights.
