Founded in 1894, Co. Sligo is home to one of the most famous links courses in the country. Not far from the town of Sligo is Rosses Point, a spectacular promontory that juts out into the sea off Ireland's west coast.
Often referred to as The Wild Atlantic Links the course has been shaped by the forces of nature - the earth, winds, and water. Offering a genuine challenge for golfers of all levels while providing a picturesque setting.
In 1927, this remarkable landscape allowed Harry S. Colt, architect of Wentworth, Sunningdale and Royal Portrush, to redesign a glorious venue, fit to host tournament play. The fact that Sligo has continued to be awarded the West of Ireland Championship shows that the course, in spite of it's mature age, is still thriving today, and can stand up to the recent advances in golfing technology. Due to these improvements, the Championship Links has increased dramatically in length and measures at 7259 yards.
The quality of the course in conjunction with the outstanding scenery of the surrounding seaside, make Co. Sligo a glorious stop off on any golf break or tour.
Co. Sligo is a top golf course in the North West & is ranked as one of the best courses in Ireland
