Ballyliffin Golf Club has recently been described as “the Ballybunion of
the North” - and with good reason. Located not far from Malin Head on
the beautiful Inishowen Peninsula, Ireland's most northerly golf links
covers 365 acres of magnificent duneland and is bounded by rolling hills
and mountains - the only other boundary is the Atlantic Ocean.
Ballyliffin Golf Club has 2 18 hole courses - the classic Old Links and
the wonderful new Glashedy Links. The Glashedy Links makes the most of a
genuinely spectacular location. Designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock,
it has been laid out on mostly higher ground above and beyond the Old
Links.
The views from both courses are breath-taking. Glashedy - named
after Ballyliffin's own "Ailsa Craig - measures over 7,000 yards
from the Championship tees with large undulating greens, deep bunkers
and fairways that twist and roll between towering dunes. The challenge
presented by the Glashedy Links is almost as formidable as it is
exciting.
In June 1993 Nick Faldo visited Ballyliffin and described The Old Links
as the most natural golf course he had ever seen. The Old Links is a
classically old style links. It exudes charm, character and curiosity in
equal measure. More than anything, it is the extraordinary terrain that
makes a golf game on the Old Links such a unique experience -
stand on any tee and the fairway undulates in each and every direction.
The principal architect of the links was none other than Mother Nature
heself.
