Old Head Golf Links is built on a 220-acre diamond of land jutting out over two miles into the Atlantic Ocean. The promontory is almost an island with numerous caves running beneath your feet as you play the course. The links and practice area occupy 180 acres and the remaining 40 acres of unspoilt cliff frame the course. It is a piece of golf real estate like no other, that causes many a golfer and visitor to pinch themselves as they drive through the ancient gateway with the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean some 300 feet below.

The sensory overload does not stop there with the journey along the fragrant Hydrangea and Rosa Rugosa lining the Old Head driveway providing stunning vistas across the superbly manicured golf course, with the powerful ocean on both sides and beyond the famous lighthouse that lies in front.

Old Head, par 72, comprises five Par 5s, five Par 3s and eight Par 4s - stretches from the ladies' tees at 5,413 yards to over 7,100 yards from the tips, with a minimum of six tees per hole making it suitable for golfers of all handicap abilities. Nine holes play along the cliff tops with all eighteen holes providing unsurpassed ocean views. With the ever-changing sea breezes, the course provides a stern but fair test to the touring pro and the high handicapper alike.

The course is set up on a daily basis depending on the prevailing weather conditions. Facilities include a warm up range, a putting green and a short game practice area. From the incredible Clubhouse, Old Head has a team of exceptional and friendly service staff to cater for the golfers and residents every need. With superbly furnished and attended, Oak lined locker rooms complete with spa showers, the attention to detail is as exemplary as our welcome is warm.

With the planet having provided the most visually stunning and truly individual landscape that one could ever wish to build a golf course upon, the O'Connor brothers were the catalyst to a series of events that could only ever happen once in many lifetimes to make the Old Head dream a reality.

Fittingly the course was designed and constructed by a unique team, the late Ron Kirby - former designer at Jack Nicklaus's Golf Design Services, the late Eddie Hackett - former Irish golf professional and golf course designer, the late Dr. Joe Carr - Ireland's most successful international amateur golfer, Paddy Merrigan - Australian course architect and agronomist, Liam Higgins - one of Ireland's best known golf professionals currently on the Seniors Tour and finally, Haulie O'Shea - building contractor.

Incredible as individuals, what has been achieved is even greater than the sum of their parts with the creation of a magnificent golf course in a magical environment that will only ever climb upwards in the annals of golfing history.

With executive heli-charter for the discerning golfer becoming an increasingly popular mode of transport for travelling throughout Ireland, Old Head is well catered for this by providing a helipad that is able to host up to four helicopters at a time.

Cutting out on significant time lost on road travel, Heli-Golf alleviates time pressures and brings the benefit of seeing the beauty of Ireland from the air. The service will transport you between golf courses, hotels and airports or whatever route you may choose.

Old Head Golf Links is designed as a walking course where Members and Guests are encouraged to walk the incredible links with a Caddie. Old Head boasts one of the largest group of professional Caddies in the country, with approximately 160 working at the Club throughout the season.

The Old Head Caddie Programme is among one of the most extensive and professional worldwide with their knowledge of the course, the sport and the local area and history adding to the most memorable rounds of a lifetime.
