Old Head Golf Links

Old Head Golf Links is one of the most dramatic and visually unforgettable golf courses in the world. Perched on a rocky promontory in County Cork, the course projects out into the Atlantic Ocean, offering panoramic sea views on nearly every hole. Carved from an old estate with rugged cliffs dropping into the waves, Old Head provides a bold blend of strategic challenge and pure spectacle. With the ocean both beside and behind many fairways, golfers play in close relationship with wind, tide, and terrain, making each round feel unique and alive with coastal energy.

Old Head is not just about the beauty of its setting. The routing is thoughtful and demanding, with wide fairways framing targets that require judgment and creativity. Signature holes, especially those along the cliff edge, reward well‑placed shots and offer memorable moments at every turn. The area’s natural terrain has shaped the course in a way that feels authentic and ancient, yet the conditioning and presentation reflect a world‑class golfing property.

For visitors, Old Head is both an adventure and a pilgrimage. It’s a place to test your skills, absorb oceanfront drama, and enjoy the kind of coastal golf experience that exists in only a handful of places on Earth. The club’s facilities and hospitality make it an ideal addition to a luxury golf itinerary in Ireland.
