<Day 5 ~ The European Club
Today play The European Club (tbc) at Brittas Bay. Tucked amid tumbling dunes 30 miles south of Dublin, the European Club has been appreciated from the time it opened in 1987 as one of Ireland's finest links courses.

The 7th has been ranked among the top 100 holes in the world. It’s a 470-yard par-4 set on a sandbank through a bed of reeds with a burn right, beyond which are a hundred acres of unspoiled links land, and towering dunes left. Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington have played here and enjoyed the course because it demands both solid ballstriking and sound strategy.

Golf Schedule
Donegal
Dunes block the view of the Atlantic Ocean on many holes at Donegal, which is on the Murvagh Penninsula with the Bluestack Mountains in the background. However, the sound of waves crashing serves as the soundtrack for each swing. The inward loop is protected by those dunes, so take time to savor the view from the elevated tee at No. 8, a sensational par-5. The 2011 Open Champion Darren Clarke is a member here and labels the layout as one of his favorites.
Narin & Portnoo
The course is situated in the beautiful seaside resort of Portnoo in South West Donegal. It is considered to be one of the finest natural links courses in Ireland, and is certainly one of the most scenic with views out to Aranmore Island and Croghy Head.
