Northwest Ireland 2023. A Secret No More.
(WILMINGTON, NC) It’s rare for any of the traditional golf regions in the British Isles to be reimagined to the extent Northwest Ireland has in the last two years. Quality golf has never been the issue here but the recent arrival of two exceptional newcomers accompanied by widespread media attention has raised the profile for everyone. The 2020 opening of Gil Hanse’s and Jim Wagner’s dramatic remodel of Narin & Portnoo set the stage for the 2021 opening of St. Patrick’s Links at Rosapenna. Tom Doak’s first venture in Ireland debuted at #55 on Golf Magazine’s 2021-2022 world ranking. At the time, the pandemic obviously didn’t cooperate. Now ironically, it has created demand because availability elsewhere is dramatically limited so travelers are willing to consider somewhere new.
“I visited the area last fall for several days and can say with every confidence that this is a special golf experience,” says PerryGolf president and co-founder Gordon Dalgleish. “The two new clubs are sensational plus there is a lot to like about the originals. There are six or seven you do not want to miss from Connemara and Carne to Enniscrone, Donegal, Rosapenna and Ballyliffin where classic seaside links golf is played among some of the most striking dunes systems in the world. This is a remarkable part of the world in general for natural beauty plus it’s not crowded and the locals are famously friendly.”
The game when you’re away from the course is equally impressive. Luxury lodging choices include the Mount Falcon estate, a 32 bedroom 4-star deluxe hotel with 45 private lodges located on 100 acres beside the west bank of the River Moy. Another 4-star is Rosapenna, the premier golf resort in Northwest Ireland with amenities including fine dining and a spa. Fresh seafood is the cuisine of choice which is celebrated in a range of popular festivals. Sightseeing for scenic beauty is unmatched. Slieve League in Co. Donegal rise nearly three times higher above the Atlantic than the Cliffs of Moher. Glenveagh Castle is the centerpiece of a national park that covers 62 square miles of rugged mountains, lakes, remote bogs and woodlands.
