Portsalon Golf Club
Portsalon Golf Club was one of the founder members of the Golfing Union of Ireland, the oldest golfing union in the world. Initially designed by Charles Thompson of Portrush, the layout of the club has undergone significant changes over the years, particularly in 2000 under the guidance of Pat Ruddy.
The course is ranked as one of the top 25 courses in Ireland by Golf Digest, and its progress continues with the involvement of Paul McGinley, the 2014 Ryder Cup captain, in further enhancements.
Situated beneath the majestic Knockalla mountains and stretching alongside the stunning Ballymastocker beach, the course offers a true challenge for links golf enthusiasts.

Portsalon Golf Club
The Portsalon beach of Lough Swilly is the setting for this extraordinary golf course, whose history dates back to 1891. The most amazing thing about Portsalon is the incredible value for money that it represents; while names like Old Head, Portmarnock and Ballybunion will hit the pocket pretty hard, this enchanting links can be yours for a very reasonable cost.
Portsalon's charms are exposed at an early stage - after a relatively nondescript opening hole, the course comes alive with one of the greatest holes in Ireland. The second tee shot is played from an elevated tee across the beach, with splendid views of the lough, before golfers tackle the approach shot across a river to the green.
This demanding and beautiful hole is typical of the incredible character of Ireland's best kept golfing secret. Set against the backdrop of stunning County Donegal, this hidden gem is highly recommended as part of a golf tour in north-west Ireland.
