About Ballyliffin Golf Club – Old Links

On the wild Inishowen Peninsula of Donegal, Ballyliffin Golf Club presents 36 holes of outstanding and contrasting links golf — a dual-course destination that ranks among the finest in the world. The Old Links undulates gloriously across its natural terrain, a historic layout refined and elevated by six-time Major champion Nick Faldo, who brought his deep understanding of championship golf to a course that hosted the European Seniors Tour Irish Open in 2008. The Glashedy Links, fashioned around the extraordinary sand dunes of the peninsula, has forged its own distinguished reputation through peat-riveted bunkers and a formidable opening stretch of par fours — a layout that has hosted both the European Tour North West of Ireland Open in 2002 and the Ladies European Tour Irish Open in 1998. Expansive panoramic views of countryside, coastline and open ocean ensure that the memory of Ballyliffin endures long after the final putt is holed.
