Course Description and History:

Portsalon Golf Club was established in 1891 and is one of the founder members of the Golfing Union of Ireland, the oldest golfing union in the world.

Portsalon offers golfers an opportunity to play golf on an original golf links design. Unspoiled, uncrowded, natural links land, surrounded by the spectacular Knockalla mountains and white sanded beaches on the shores of Lough Swilly, visitors are treated to a golfing experience that will flood their sense and bring them back for more.

Though Ireland has many great hidden golfing gems, Portsalon may be one of Ireland's best kept golfing secret. With heather clad mountains plunging into the deep blue waters of the bay, Portsalon has few peers with regard to scenic splendor. The opening hole is an uphill dogleg around a cliff and has been described as the best opening hole in Irish golf. The 2nd hole is a par three of some 196 yards over water to a green that juts into the bay. The 3rd hole is a downhill par four played across and along the beach to a green guarded by two ancient rock formations, unchanged since 1891. It is an exhilarating start that continues at Portsalon, with fairways and greens threading through sand dunes untouched by the course of time.

Redesigned by Pat Ruddy in 2003, Portsalon is on its way towards gaining the international recognition that it so richly deserves.
