Situated on the Velvet Strand, a 5km beach looking out over the Irish Sea, Portmarnock Links first opened for play in 1995. Located just 15 minutes from Dublin Airport, Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links is the perfect location for anyone looking to experience true Irish links golf and enjoy a break near the vibrant capital.

Portmarnock Links, Dublin’s only coastal resort, is an 18 hole course spread across 203 acres and is set on the grounds of the old Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks, the original home of the Jameson whiskey dynasty.

The course regularly features in Golf Monthly’s UK and Ireland Top 100 Golf Course rankings and is among the best links courses in the country with towering dunes, exceptional playing surfaces and a fun, challenging layout.
